Jeffrey Hamm's Online Review Report Card

very happy with the service I got

I compound fractured my right arm above the wrist rolling skating in 1994. He did a good job fixing my broken bones. He explained to me that I was not cut out for roller skating. Yes, I am a swimmer, rolling skating is not in my bag. He said repeat after me, "I will not go rolling skating again." I saw him again in 2017 and he diagnosed arthritis in my right hip. When you go see a physician, you only have about 11 seconds to explain the nature of your problem. It's common for doctors to stereotype people and make bias assumptions, because they are human. Maybe you will get 3 seconds with one of them that didn't like you the minute they opened the door and saw you. When my arm was broken in two places, he stayed focused for the whole 45 minutes. When I talked to him about my arthritic hip, he seemed less interested and told me that the hip would have to be replaced in five to ten years. I was disappointed that he didn't give me more treatment options. Hip replacements can go bad.

I broke my wrist. Dr. Hamm did an excellent job putting it back together!

INADEQUATE COVID PREVENTION MEASURES!!!!! Small waiting room filled with too many people. They seated themselves apart, but the room was completely enclosed, not one of 3 doorways remained opened for airflow. No one asked any questions about your exposure to people who might be positive. No one took a temperature or checked your pulse ox. Nothing. Just signs to wear masks and bottles of hand sanitizer, which are inadequate prevention measures when you have to site in an enclosed space with strangers, all breathing the same air, for more than a few minutes. There was only one person checking in patients. Several more people talking and laughing just beyond the waiting area. ONE doctor. I couldn't believe the staff would stack up so many patients to see one physician while 90% of the population has not been vaccinated. (Guessing staff has had their shots, though.) I left after 30 seconds bc I was not comfortable since I haven't been able to get a vaccination yet. I've had several other doctor appointments recently. You have to have temp check and answer questions just to get in the building. One hospital complex I visited won't let you wear your own masks in the building; they give you a fresh one at the door. They take your names in case they have to contact trace and notify you of possible exposure. The offices leave all their doors open for airflow. There are barricades preventing patients from standing too close to the receptionists. Examination rooms have special machines filtering the air. Patients are staggered so the waiting room never has more than 2 patients waiting for more than 5 minutes. These are simple precautions that medical offices can take. That Dr. Hamm's staff is not directed to do so indicates to me he has more business than he can handle and doesn't have to care that I didn't feel safe waiting for what would have been AT LEAST half and hour (judging by how many patients were waiting ahead of me) until my time, despite coming 20 minutes early to fill out paperwork. Don't go here if you haven't been vaccinated against Covid. Not worth the risk.

l love Dr Hamm and have gone to him for years. But, in this era of COVID, a doctor who doesn't wear a MASK is not okay and I'm not going back.

After 3 visits, several X-rays, 4 injections and consultations I hold Dr. Hamm in high regard. He seems to be spot on, kind and his charges are very reasonable even though he could get a lot more from Medicare...like other doctors I deal with.

I graduated from LSU in Baton Rouge, LA in 1985, but that is not why I rated Dr. Hamm as an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. In 1994, I decided to go roller skating. After one hour of roller skating I became a bit over confident. I wiped out and compound fractured my right arm about inch above the wrist both bones. My dad took me to the late Dr. Rumbo and he x-rayed my wrist and forearm, he told me, ...

Dr. Hamm did wonderful on my right shoulder. Now I need the other one done and he's the only one I would consider.

Dr. Hamm and everyone in his office took good care of me during my shoulder surgery. My surgery went very well and my recovery has been good!

Dr. Hamm has been great with me and my wife.
