My pitbull, Chico, developed a bad skin condition. After numerous attempts to get it resolved I was referred to Dr. Hammes by a friend. When I showed up, his wife Toni met us and was very friendly with myself and my dog while we waited for the doctor. She even took a picture of him for her web site.
When I met with the doctor he was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the problem and the solution. He gave me some medicine and special shampoo which worked immediately. The skin issues were resolved perfectly. His wife called twice to follow up on Chico's condition and make sure everything went well.
The best part is that I was surprised at how reasonable the cost was. He did not charge me for anything unnecessary. For example, when we were there I asked about a skin tag that Chico had and the doctor could easily have told me that it needed to be removed. I was ready to hear that, and ready to pay for it. Instead he told me that removal was unnecessary and to save my money. I was extremely impressed with his honesty, knowledge, and care.
I was pleasantly surprised about:
1. how quickly we were seen
2. how long the doctor took with us
3. his honesty in not charging me for unnecessary services, and
4. the fair price for services.
I strongly recommend Dr. Hammes.
