Dr Hammond is the most caring dentist I have met! When we first moved to Arizona we kept our dentist in California because I was afraid to make a change but once I met Dr Hammond (dentist) the change was made immediately! He is very gentle and listens carefully to your problems, offers choices and does as you wish. I have had two teeth polled in his office and both times it ended up as good experiences under the circumstances. His friend office help is amazing and get you in immediately when there is an emergency
