He does anything and everything with love and kindness; well worth the wait, and well worth the drive. He is amazing! His office and vet assistants are just as amazing!

Dr. Hammett is by far the most compassionate vet I've ever had. We have been going to himfor 7 years. My dog has been through a variety of injuries and illnesses. They were all handled with his comfort and health, as well as my budget in mind. When my 21 year old cat reached the final year of her life, Dr. Hammett walked me through the process. He clearly understood how hard it was to say goodbye to my precious friend. The experience is never sales oriented, rushed, or condescending. My 1/2 star off is due to recent office staff turnover. Additionally, because it is a small office there is less availability than some more corporate operations. However, these are extremely minor concerns. With all of the other options in the area, I have never even considered switching.

This review system is a joke! I wanted to give a 5 star but based on the answers I selected it gave 4.5 and THEN wrote up its OWN review based on my answers (which I deleted and then put my OWN as you can see). Dr. Hammett is a great vet, the staff is helpful and friendly, and we LOVE him. We have been using this vet for years and I can not imagine anyone not being happy with him or his staff. Dr. Hammett is kind, patient and he knows his job. He has an obvious love for animals and animals seem at ease around him. No, his office isn't huge, I really didnt pay attention to what magazines were on the table because it didn't matter because you don't sit and wait long. Are there really people out there who select a vets office based on the selection of magazines in a vet office? If so they need to rethink things!

The 1.5 stars I've given is for everyone at Animal Clinic of Caroline taking good care of my two kittens.
The 3.5 stars I am not giving is because when Dr. Hammett asked me what I was feeding my kittens and I responded with Blue Buffalo brand food, I was shocked, appalled, and disgusted when instead of approving of my wanting to feed what my cats actually need, being obligate carnivores who should NOT be fed most of the fillers in low quality cat food such as corn, wheat, and soy, he became arrogant and argumentative! He said, "there's nothing wrong with Purina, there's nothing wrong with Blue Buffalo, one of them is a lot cheaper than the other," implying that the only difference between the two brands is the price and BB isn't worth it!
He tried to say that people only feed cats canned food because of "one bad study," when the truth is that cats need all or most of their moisture to come from their food, as they do not have a strong enough thirst drive to drink enough water separately.
WORST of all is when he tried to claim that fillers in cat food such as corn, wheat, and soy help prevent weight problems and obesity by "filling up cats and helping them eat less!" WHAT???? Anyone with the most basic research skills can confirm that exactly the opposite is true (and many have experienced it for themselves)! Cats fed food with those fillers not only have more weight problems because their food does not give them enough of what they NEED (protein from meat), they are more prone to a variety of diseases, which pet owners think are normal and not caused by food, because cats try to hide their weakness by instinct. Don't take my word for it, do a little research yourself and you'll learn what I have through all the research I've done! Not only did Dr. Hammet try to push these LIES on me and my beautiful, precious kittens, he was arrogant, rude, and disrespectful, treating me like some abusive moron who was feeding her cats potato chips and having them drink beer!
I sent him a letter with a summary of some of my cat food research, which proved basically all of my arguments, and have not received any sort of response. I can only guess that he either didn't read it or read it but refuses to admit he's wrong and/or thinks he's automatically right because he's a veterinarian. Well, guess what -- veterinarians along with many other people who work with, rescue, or simply love cats all over the country and the world can back me up on this (again, the research is all available for those who seek it) and more and more people are learning the truth! I don't deserve how I was treated for helping my cats thrive, not just survive, and neither do any of you!
