Dr. Tim

Dr. Hamilton is not recommended. She saw my daughter twice and on the second visit, I asked about what appeared to be some irritation on her skin and Ms. Hamilton, without diagnosis or referral, wanted to report us to CPS or "lose her license". She bumbled around, unable to recognize the cause or even diagnose what was so wrong that she wanted to call police, except that the area was discolored. Turns out that it was a "strawberry" or hemangioma - too many blood vessels near the surface of the skin and apparently a common condition. A dermatologist knew it immediately and so did our new pediatrician. As we insisted on a better diagnosis, we were at her office for quite some time and ran out of formula. She gave us expired formula! What? Powdered formula doesnt expire for at least a year. More cause for concern. In addition to the insult that the baby was somehow abused, she also lied and said she had inspected the area on the previous visit. Not so. My baby only came into her office at 3 months old and that area was the same the whole time. Last red flag for me. My daughter was immediately removed from her care and will never be back. I cannot be sure, but I suspect that because I am a man she automatically assumes something is not right. I sure felt that on the first visit and should have known better than to stick with her. Stay away. Not someone you can trust with your precious baby.

I began taking my children to Dr. Hamilton when my family and I moved to Austin 12 years ago, and she is the only doctor that I trust with my kids. I visited 5 other pediatricians before I finally found her. My kids even get excited to go to the doctor! Dr. Hamilton is very kind and patient and always takes time to answer all of my and questions. I have referred all of my friends with children to Dr. Hamilton and they have all said the same great things about her and her staff. We love Dr. Hamilton!

We have been using Dr. Hamilton for eight years with three children, and I wouldnt go anywhere else. Dr. Hamilton is incredibly thorough and thoughtful, and she is always up to date on the latest medical research. We have had to call Dr. Hamilton in emergencies, and it has been very reassuring to be able to talk with our regular doctor who knows our family and history.

Our grandsons initial visit today with Dr. Hamilton was very positive and exceeded our highest hopes. Both Dr. Hamilton and her staff made the 8-year old boy feel comfortable, which was no small chore considering his dread of taking shots for immunization. We feel very fortunate to have her for his doctor and to have an open file in her practice.

After two visits with each of my children, I found her condescending, impatient, disinterested and insensitive. Both my children separately mentioned, "She wasnt nice" and werent comfortable around her.

Dr. Hamilton is exactly what we were looking for in a pediatrician. Shes kind, gentle with the kids (and the parents) and gives you quality time to ask questions. Shes also very approachable.

I had a horrible experience on many levels. The office was unsanitary. The doctor was very opinionated.

She is great! She has a lot of experience and my boys are always happy to go there.
