“A Pismo Beach Treasure”
I have read many of the postings on Dr Ham on this and other websites. I saw he was chosen for the last two years for several awards, but especially a Most Compassionate Doctor Award. His biography reads more out of an adventure novel...combat fighter pilot, research scientist, Experimental Test Pilot, Aerospace Engineer, Medical Mission worker, combat trauma surgeon, OBGYN...even has published research on nuclear power in space. And, he is highly regarded in the community as a man of integrity, compassion, and pure brains. He was recommended to me by several friends, so I looked him up, then went to see him. On my first visit, he actually spent almost two hours discussing my health history and teaching me about how to help myself. When the staff told me his first appointments usually take an hour and a half, I fully expected to spend most of that time filling out paperwork, and waiting, like so many other doctors I have seen. But, I was amazingly surprised. I filled out my paperwork online from his website, so when I walked in, I was greeted, and within minutes, was in his beautiful, comfortable office on a couch overlooking the ocean, and he personally spent two hours with me. I don't know how he can afford to do that, but from what I have heard and read, that is his common practice. He really wants to get to know you, and then, between he and his staff, you feel like you have become a member of a caring family. It took me only a couple of months, and I was feeling better than I ever have in my life. It even saved my marriage. I now recommend him to all my friends, and tell them to hurry up...get him as your doctor while you still can.
