Douglas C. Hammerstrom, MD

Dr. Douglas Hammerstrom is one of the most excellent health providers I have experienced in my 76 years.His respect for me and for the questions I asked made me feel heard and of consequence. My appointment gave me the answers I needed and explored issues I hadn't thought of but were of consequence to me. Dr. Hammerstrom was thorough. Leaving his office I felt really cared for, I felt quite reassured.

I was not scheduled to see Dr. Hammerstrom, but my PCP was ill. I was treated very well by Dr. Hammerstrom and his nurse/assistant. He explained everything during the exam and asked pertinent questions about my health history. He recommended a Pnuemonia vaccination that I received in the office. He was great!

I choose to stay with Providence because the care I receive is exceptional. The only negative thing would be my provider is too booked.

Dr Hammerstrom is a knowledgable and careful doctor. He listened to what I said and made sure we had covered anything I had questions about.

All good

We prefer to know what my vital signs are, not just "your pulse was rapid". Dr Hammerstrum was good.

He was great!

Thank you!

Nice guy seems competent.

I really appreciate Dr Hammerstrom spending enough time to listen and answer all my questions and he seems to care about his patients as people.

He is very knowledgeable and caring

Dr. Hammerstrom is excellent. He is knowledgeable and caring. I cannot remember when a physician has taken time to call me to go over lab results and discuss health concerns as does Dr Hammerstrom. Now that I am 65, Dr. H has been great at helping me navigate health issues associated with getting older. In particular a pneumonia shot. We also identified some issues with health before they became overly problematic. Dr. Hammerstrom is no nonsense in his approach but it is his way of caring. What a true professional you have in him. Providence should be proud to have such a quality physician in their team. I am lucky to have him as my doctor.

This was a pre surgical clearence and Dr Hammerstrom touched all the bases that needed to be adressed before my surgery.

Everything is professional.

Always treated with respect and compassion by everyone in this office!!

Thank You Dr Hammerstrom, you and your entire team are Excellent, Professional and Caring.

My doctor and staff take very good care of me. Thank you

The provider is very good and attentive. He acts like he actually cares unlike some of the other providers.

Good experience. On time; not rushed; all concerns addressed. Really helpful staff.

Everything was great. I will be seeing him in two weeks.

Dr. Hammerstrom acted as my interim primary care provider after my long-term (24 years) provider retired and the new doctor joining the practice arrived and settled in. The new doctor to the practice stayed only a short time (2 years or just under) and I was transfered back to Dr. Hammerstrom within the practice. After having the same doctor for 24 years I was not thrilled about the sudden change. However, I feel that during the interim period that I was under his care and after the rapid turnover going back to him that he has provided me with nearly seamless care to that of my long-term doctor. I'm very pleased to have him in charge of my health needs. He explains clearly and has great bed-side manner.

I am impressed with Dr Hammerstrom's professional manner and obvious concern for me. I have been praising his care to all my friends.

Very knoledgable

I appreciate the time Dr. Hammerstrom spends with me, and he always asks what I need to discuss, and pays attention to my questions and concerns.

This office and Provider at the best of the best. I'm disabled and see a lot of doctors, this is one of the very best that I see.

I'm pleased with my care

Already k ew Mt history and remembered from previous appointments

The wellness visit with Dr. Hammerstrom went very well. He listened to my health concerns, asked clarifying questions when trying to discern the symptoms I was describing. He has been attentive to my elevated blood pressure during the past two years and I appreciate his continued goal to get it to a more manageable level.

Always great experience with Dr Hammerstrom! MA are awesome. I could tell male MA who first made contact was New but very nice. Front desk clerk who checked me in was a bit Kurt. The clerk who checked me out was very. Very nice.

I have a winter home in Arizona so I was gone for 6months so I had limited experience with this doctor but so far I'm pleased with his help for me.

Very attentive and experienced doctor

Good checkup

Always a very positive experience. Dr Hammerstrom is an excellent doctor.

I appreciate Dr. Hammerstrom and how he takes time to listen and encourages me to keep getting healthier.

Good listener. Thoughtful. Knowledgeable.

I am very pleased with the care I have received from this practice so far... The doctors have been very attentive and caring and have made sure I am getting the care that I need... They have responded quickly via My Chart and have even called to follow up with me... I feel like I am in great hands.

Dr. Hammerstrom is a good dcotor, I like him.

It was prompt and easy going. Everyone was professional and courteous

Always a great experience, front desk and check out clerks friendly. My doctor is very detailed and considerate. My Medical assistant always has smile and remembers me.

I appreciate the straight forward answers to my questions and the telephone follow ups to test results. I feel like I have input into my health care decisions. Dr Hammerstrom is professional and I am glad he is my doctor.

Dr. Hammerstrom is very thorough, but could be a little more personable

All is fine.

This doctor was one I had never seen before and I hope to see him again. He knew from experience what he was doing and I appreciate that.

Very happy with the care I'm getting

Dr. Hammerstein is very attentive and relatable. I trust his judgement.

This was my first visit to this group since my former doctor left the practice. Everything went well. My next visit should be with the doctor that is replacing my former doctor since he was out sick.

Great care team convenient location to take care of all needs within the same medical campus. All in all was pretty satisfied

It was a good experience

Dr Hammerstrom is new to us, but he seems knowledgeable and caring. Only drawback is that he only works 3 days a week, so getting an early appointment to see him isn't easy.

Thank You. Dr Hammerstrom is a Great Doctor, I am very pleased with him and the entire staff.

Great interaction with office and Dr Hammerstrom but it took a long time to be scheduled with a Providence appointment ---- started trying to get an appointment 6 months ago.

I am so grateful to have Dr. Hammerstrom back as my doctor.

Helpful and considerate

I was seeing a new provider to the practice. I didn't feel like he was really listening to to me and kept repeating what he wanted to say.

Hammerstrom was kind and listened to me and referred me to specialized doctors.

Dr Hammerstrom is my new PCP so this was my initial visit. I had to schedule several months out which was frustrating however the visit was great. In fact, Dr Hammerstrom followed up the blood tests with a personal call explaining the results.

Given that this was my first visit, the doctor could have been more friendly and less matter of fact.
