5.0 star star star star starDr. Hammond is an amazing person. He is gentle, caring and super professional. He took time with me and since I am disabled, I felt cared for. He also did not rush, and took his time in the procedure, which was right since the size of speculum was a smaller one.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Cassing Hammond is extremely nice. He keeps up with latest medical information and is so patient and caring. He gives me a call as soon as my results return and is ready for the next plan of action. He's considerate enough to make sure his medical instruments are warm and he has a very calming voice. Because of him, I don't mind coming to the doctor for my annual PAP! He is the BEST!
