About Douglas C. Hammerstrom
Douglas Hammerstrom is a board-certified family physician who obtained a degree in Pharmacy at the University of Connecticut, a bachelors in Health Science at Duke University and a Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Pittsburgh. He did his residency in family medicine at Contra Costa County Hospital in Martinez, California. Emergency and rural medicine was a focus in his early career. Care for older adults with special interest in rational prescribing of medication is now more of his focus. When I was a student an old, general medicine doctor told me if I wanted to be successful in my career that I should strive to be on time and listen to the patient. That has been my goal and he was right. My goal is to treat patients in the same manner that I would want my family to be treated.

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.

Leaving his office I felt really cared for, I felt quite reassured.
Providence Patient
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.

Providence Patient
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.

Providence Patient
The provider is very good and attentive. He acts like he actually cares unlike some of the other providers.
Providence Patient
Good experience. On time; not rushed; all concerns addressed. Really helpful staff.
Providence Patient
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.
Providence Patient
Everything was great. I will be seeing him in two weeks.
Providence Patient
I am impressed with Dr Hammerstrom's professional manner and obvious concern for me. I have been praising his care to all my friends.
