All staff was incredibly nice and answered all of my questions. Dr. Hamill was very professional and easy to talk with. He walked me through my first pair of glasses with ease!

Straight forward, great bedside manner, and fast :) Listened to my concerns over problems I've had in the past with contact lenses, and so SO glad he had a camera capable of taking pics of the interior of my eye. That means, no more dialation and weird numbing drops for the eyes! Thanks Dr. Hamill!

Verified patient
Overall very pleased with the visit and the care I received. He explained options and answered my questions. Great manner and very pleasant person to work with. I felt Dr. Hamill was unassuming and didn't overcharge. I just wasn't clear that as a new patient the fee was more than for a returning patient.
Verified patient
Dr. Hamill was very thorough. I have seen over four different Optometrists over the years, Dr. Hamill was easily the best one I've ever had!

Amazing person and specialist! Enjoyed my visit
Verified patient
He is a very nice doctor and the receptionist is very nice. However, I do find it pretty unacceptable that I was specifically called and told that the appt time I originally booked of 10:45am was not going to work and needed to be rescheduled to 10:00am that same morning. I agreed and arrived promptly at 10:00am, but yet was not seen by the doctor until 10:45am. There was never an apology or explanation. Left me feeling that this office values their time more than mine. Not quite sure how being this delayed still results in a 3 star rating.
Dr. Hamill was very thorough and did a great job explaining everything to me. He was courteous, professional and very easy to interact with. I highly recommend him.
Verified patient
It was awesome. He was professional and friendly and ensured I got the proper contacts for my vision. Gave me free sample also!
went great
Great calm presence. Didn't put too much pressure on me to buy additional things. Didn't dilate my eyes or blow air into them!
