“Dr. Hamilton and his staff are the best. You have had a good experience when you are disappointed that your visits are done. Dr. Hamilton took the time to explain my surgery procedure, even though I'm sure he knew I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. Great doctor, I refer any friends or family to him. Thanks for taking care of my daughter, she is back active in sports, great job.”

Treating Doctor: Jaime D. Hernandez, MD
“Dr. Jaime Hernandez is a miracle worker; for over two separate, total hip-replacements, he transformed my life from being one of fairly severe pain (which actually caused me to be sleep-deprived) to one of comfort, quality rest and a whole new mobility and freedom. I had total confidence in Dr. Hernandez's ability to deliver the very best surgical procedure available, right from the very first moment when we started to speak with one another. He explained everything to me in detail and I was filled with great confidence concerning the results of my surgery. Consequently, I have recommended numerous friends and associates to Dr. Hernandez for various procedures and I tell everyone who will listen that this guy is a Rock-Star in the world of surgery! – David G. ”
