8 months agoDr. Hamachi saved my life when I had a perforated ulcer that blew out my connection between my intestines and stomach. He had to rebuild it. He is a very caring man and awesome surgeon!

8 months agoI absolutely adore Dr.H. He was so caring. I had an emergency and he rushed over making it feel like he truly cares. I appreciate you Dr.H and making my concerns valid and listening to me.

2 years agoI'm sharing my experience under Dr. Sami Hamamji's care, but most of all my gratitude on taking me on as his patient. Thank you for being genuine, always straight forward about my care, and showing so much patience when I had none. Great surgeon, who makes his patients his priority. Thank you for being you! Thank you to your staff!

4 years agoDr.Hamamji and his staff are excellent. His office is always clean and I feel very comfortable there. He removed my lap band I had placed 10 years ago in Mexico. My entire process was great from start to finish he made me feel at ease. Surgery went well and I will be back to see him for gastric sleeve this summer.

2 years agoDr Hamamji is a jewel. He is caring, empathetic, and has mad surgical skills . His office personnel specifically Eve, not so much. If you lack patience, empathy, and time for us, maybe choose a different career path because your short, unfeeling, cold answers yes and poor attitude really has no place in health arena. Dr hamamji I would award 10 stars.. felt bad leaving 4. He
