Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Have to have a surgery to repair what Aurora Baycare Medical allowed to happen by employing Hamilton. Now have 50k in debt and a life long disability and pain and Hamilton Disappeared from Aurora-Baycare medical centers right after my surgery without explanation of any kind.

Dr. Hamilton replaced my right hip in July 2019. I was impressed with our first visit in the office. He took the time to listen and explain anything I asked about. I had my other hip replaced by another surgeon 2 years before this and was pleased to see Dr. Hamilton reviewed my previous surgery and xrays and did everything possible to make me feel comfortable in seeing a new doctor. His manner was warm and caring and his knowledge and experience was very obvious by the time he took to explain things about my upcoming surgery. I really liked his gentle, natural manner; no nonsense "head in the clouds" with him. My surgery went well. His nurse practitioner, staff and Aurora Hospital staff were wonderful. If I ever need an orthopedic consult/procedure again, I would go to Dr. Hamilton. I recommend him without reservation.

Avoid this doctor! He talks nonsense stating, "In my humble opinion..." then mumbles on and on without giving you clear answers or recommendations about your injury. He's easy to get into for a reason! Save time and money by scheduling with a different provider!
