I suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury in 2016. When I was discharged from the Trauma ICU, I received a plethora of literature about "Life with a Traumatic Brain Injury," and one follow up CT scan. The literature was very helpful, being that I could not see at that time. I went to my follow up CT appointment; I was still alive, so that was that. My Psychiatrist and PCP told me that I had to go to a neurologist, and it had to be Dr. David Hammett. I followed their directions. MY LIFE HAS BEEN CHANGED EVER SINCE.

I was able to get into The Hammett Clinic within a week . Dr. Hammett met with me and then he ordered an MRI. What is an MRI you say? I do not know because there has not been a doctor in 1.5 years to ever help me and go the extra minute to figure out what is going on. Three days later we met again and I was informed of everything. Dr. Hammett explained everything to me in great detail, in which, I fully comprehended. Dr. Hammett reassured me that all of my symptoms directly correlated with my MRI. Dr. Hammett sprung into action and I stayed in the office with him until after 9:30PM to create my treatment plan. Life has been amazingly better since the day I walked into The Hammett Clinic.

Dr. David Hammett is still my #1, extremely talented, neurologist. I also have a WONDERFUL Wellness and Aesthetic Medicine Clinician, Ms. Avra. I do not know what I would do without them. They are both brilliant and most importantly very efficient with my time, money and care. I highly recommend them because of my experiences. They are family owned, independent specialists whom treat you. and your wallet, with love. I hate that I am writing this randomly today, because I want them all to myself. I cannot be a hypocrite when I tell my students that sharing is caring.

Dr. Hammett is a good listener and is very much focused on helping his patients. However, I experienced significant problems with his staff. One time I called in to have a prescription refilled ( as had been instructed to do) and the person answering the phone was very rude and jumped down my throat because I was taking the particular medication that had been prescribed. I consider that to be very unprofessional behavior for someone in a medical office, especially when that person knows nothing about the patient's medical history. On later contacts she was a bit less rude, but not very cooperative. If I asked for information, I was never called back. I always had to follow up. Other staff were more helpful. If you can avoid the particular employee I described, Dr. Hammett's office might work for you. Otherwise perhaps not.

Dr. Hammett is the only neurologist that was willing & able to help me with Cervical Dystonia pain management! Other Drs declined to help me. He is an extremely caring person. Answers all my questions, offers suggestions, he's just wonderful! I wish all doctors were like him!

I saw Dr. David Hammett for approximately 3 years until he joined a medical team on Trenholm Road and THEY would not accept my insurance which paid in FULL for my Migraine treatments every 3months and in between. He, by far is the MOST caring and knowledgeable doctor I have ever seen, with the exception of my primary physician, whom I have been with for 23 years! I AM SO HAPPY DR. HAMMETT IS BACK!! AND I get to see him on SEPTEMBER 15th! Cannot wait. I've waited so long to be able to see him again! And I AGREE with the other review's. He is the only one who was getting me well. Our Mantra: Get Well, Stay Well AND Be Well! AMEN:-)

I was experiencing intermittent blindness, dizziness, and splitting headaches and my established neurologist couldn't get me in for five weeks. He just kept having my nurse change my prescription over the phone without even talking to me. Dr. Hammett got me in next-day and diagnosed me with a serious issue that needed immediate treatment. Dr. H. has completely eliminated my migraines and worked with me to develop a treatment plan for my other issues. He spent almost an hour with me on my first visit -- got my entire health history and even made a few suggestions for me to discuss with other specialists about peripheral health problems. He is an AMAZING doctor who truly wants his patients to achieve wellness.
