Daniel Hammond's Online Review Report Card

Horrible doctor! Unprofessional and condescending.

Dr.Daniel Hammond is the excellent doctor

MAYBE THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE DR HAMMOND PRACTICING IN THE KISSIMMEE / ORLANDO AREA? I SAW "DR HAMMOND" IN ORLANDO AND HE WAS IN NO WAY ARROGANT OR RUDE OR SLAMMING DOORS ETC. HE WAS A DOCTOR WHO CONSIDERED WAYS OF HELPING PATIENTS GET HEALTHY WITHOUT TAKING 10-20 DIFFERENT MEDS. I WOULDN'T SAY DR HAMMOND WAS THE "BEST MEDICAL DR. THAT I EVER SAW, BUT HE WAS DEFINITELY THE BEST DOCTOR I EVER SAW THAT WAS INTERESTED IN HELPING PEOPLE GET HEALTHY BY TEACHING THEM LIFESTYLES CHANGES TO OVERCOME THEIR ISSUES.

Poor service. To short of time

I have been a patient since 2011 and have witnessed absolutely nothing like the claims in these reviews. Dr Hammond has been great. He takes time to talk to me in depth about my medical issues and on a more personal note, was very kind and sympathetic when there was a death in my family. I havn't only seen him a handful of times a year, I see him on a monthly basis... and don't know of many people who would tolerate a bad physician if you had to see them that frequently. I certainly couldn't. I don't wish to dismiss someone's experience, because surely they aren't all faked. Yet I feel compelled to point out that anyone with sour grapes could leave as many bad review's for as long as they wished- and his longer term patients (i.e. more exposure ), are saying the opposite. I will also add that the staff are accommodating. I have a little one, and sometimes have to rearrange my appointment time based on scheduling conflicts. They've always been nice about it and have found a way to fit me in. And I mean, every single time.

I appreciate a no-nonsense physician; one who takes a serious approach toward my health and that of my wife. I don't need to be coddled by a quack. This doctor is top notch in his field of family practice and aging. I appreciate his honesty, his candor, and I especially appreciate the fact that he isn't in league with the pharmaceutical companies. If I could give him another star, I would ...

This doctor is arrogant and thinks he is better than you. My first visit with him was my last! My appointment was to establish myself as a new patient and instead of introducing himself, he walked in to the exam room without knocking, without any type of greeting, and never made eye contact with me. My first impression was to get up and walk out and I should have gone with my gut. He marched straight to the counter and still without looking up asked me what I was there for. When I explained I was a new patient he asked me for my medical files and when I told him I did not have them with me he started yelling at me that he can't help me if he doesn't have this information. When I asked him who he thought he was talking to me in that tone, he exploded (again) and told me to leave. He certainly did not have to ask me twice! With pleasure I left and never looked back. Would I recommend this doctor? Absolutely not! Beware...he is a self-righteous pompous jerk.

Dr, walks into exam room, never introduces himself. I told hi. I was suffering from what I thought was heartburn. He never asked anything about when it started, (recently), I had just had surgery and he didn't even listen. Told me that his patients should stop playing doctor, and I may not have heartburn. (it could have been a heart attack). Told me he recommends urinalysis, upper and lower GI, EkG (just done due to surgery), blood work, etc. at a cost of $$$$. Wouldn't prescribe even previcid or anything to ease my pain. He did however, recommend That I go to the vitamin shop/ health food store and buy 4 things to help. I asked the girl at the health food store told me Dr. Hammond OWNS it.... What a joke he is. Will never step foot in his office again. Would report him.

Dr. Hammond is my wife's primary care. She went in with nausea and dehydration. He would not give her an IV for fluids. Since she would not go to the hospital, rather had the Physician Nurse at the walk-in clinic give her one, he slammed the door and announced loudly that she was not his patient anymore. He has a very bad bedside manner. Would not recommend him for my friends and family.

Switched insurances and Dr. Hammond was close to home. Am now willing to drive further to find a good doctor. Dr. Hammond is set in his ways and feels if you have a thyroid problem there is only one medication out there and it's Armour Thyroid. I had my thyroid radiated out many years ago and was put on Levothyroxine. When visiting this doctor and having bloodwork, he stated my thyroid levels were off. I had been feeling fine. He decided he would change my thyroid medication to armour thyroid that measures T3. Well fine and good as long as it worked. Every time my T3 level was tested it was off. He continued to increase the Armour Thyroid causing me major mood swings. It took awhile for me to discover what was happening with my body and that my mood stablizers had to be increased with each increase of Armour Thyroid. I was now taking double the mood stablizers with no cap on how much he was going to continue increasing this Armour thyroid. I put my foot down and said I can't take this. He said then stop taking it and threw his arms up in the air. I can't fix you. I said I can't stop taking thyroid meds as I don't have any thyroid function. Therefore, he put me back on what I had been on but referred me to an Endo. Since seeing the Endo, my thyroid dosage of Levothyroxine is the same as when I started seeing Dr. Hammond. Every doctor I've spoken with does not measure T3. Will be switching primary care doctors. He made me sick when I wasn't sick. This went on for months.The man is also dismissive and does not want to listen to you. Set in his ways.
