• It's tough when I'm on the spot. She was very, very pleasant, very inviting doctor, very kind, seemed to know her stuff, very confident in a humble and generous way. She listened to me and gave me some advice and yeah, it was a great experience. I'm very, very choosy about my doctors and I will be coming back to her. So I'm very happy. In fact, I did have another doctor prior to her and I wouldn't go back to that person. So I was very happy and fortunate to find her. Dr. Hamilton is very, very good and I will keep her as long as I can. Thank you so much.

  2025-10-31

• I originally chose Dr. Hamilton because she was head of pediatric dermatology (but seeing adult patients too), and I figured that she would have a terrific "bedside manner". That prediction was so accurate! She is the epitome of a careful, caring physician who very quickly comes to know you as a person, but also as a patient with quirks and sub-optimal practices that could use gentle nudges in the right direction. She has also made me feel totally comfortable in an embarrassing situation. I have implicit trust in her decisions, such as when to do a biopsy, and when one is not needed. She always gives advice that I know I need to pay attention to, knowing that her advice comes from a place of concern, and not any sense of the superiority that can be evident from some doctors in a doctor / patient relationship. Our daughter has something that is being watched by her dermatologist, but she has expressed ongoing concerns about. Of course I suggested that she see Dr. Hamilton for a second opinion (which would be, IMHO, the primary opinion in our daughter's case if it was contrary to her own dermatologists opinion). I obviously would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Hamilton to anyone!
