Hammer Delores L DDS

I had my first appointment with Dr. Hammer today and I unfortunately have to agree with the previous review. Her patient interaction leaves something to be desired. After the brief niceties and introduction, I proceeded to get a 5 minute lecture about drinking diet soda and how it was «terribly for my teeth and kidneys», how I was «addicted to soda», and suggested that when I came back in I would not have reduced my soda intake because of this addiction (I put on the questionnaire that I drank roughly 3 cans a day).
While there is truth that soda can harm your teeth (and I have no problem with my dentist giving me advice to better my health) I found the way she said these things very condescending and accusatory. I would prefer someone who is much more personable.
To note the positives, the dental assistant that worked with me for a majority of the visit was very kind, helpful, and friendly. I only waited a minute or two before being called back and only spent a couple minutes by myself in the patient room. (I feel compelled to add that my wife went last week and waited over 45 minutes.)
I have an appointment again soon to get some cleaning and cavities filled. If quality of dental work is good, I can put aside the personality issues. Here’s hoping.

She was the most condescending, rudest person I have ever met in my life. I feel like I paid to be insulted. I actually came home and cried because of the things she said and she wasn’t even insulting my dental hygiene. I will definitely not be going back and will not recommend her to anyone I know.
