UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Hamilton is the most experienced urological surgeon at the clinic, and I was fortunate that he accepted me as a patient. He is helping with several issues: bladder tension/urine retention, ED, and prostate enlargement. He has succeeded at arresting all problems. Among his bladder prescriptions, however, I decided to avoid risking side effects of of dementia with Oxybutynin and weight gain with Trospium. Dr. Hamilton kindly changed my Rx to Solifenacin, which I am now taking. Yet with my advancing age (79), he has dispensed with PSA testing for signs of prostate cancer. Dr. Hamilton's bedside manner is just right: not over the top, just cordial yet formal, knowledgeable, and upbeat. He is wise and has acquired a diversified knowledge base in addition to his specialty. He has spoken intelligently (though not at length) about every subject I have ever mentioned. His enlightened positivity inspires a patient's confidence. As a token of my esteem, I chose to include him on my short list of gift copies of my latest monograph, a full-color, scholarly edition published in Spain (which retails for $150). Dr. Hamilton is thus unique in his department, an expert in his field, an erudite professor, and a credit to the U of U's national ranking and international prestige. I recommend his work to all of my friends as a superlative, 5-star, A+++ physician.

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSI loved Dr. Hamilton. He treated me with respect, he knew right away what was going on with me and didnt dismiss me like others had because my situation is rare and not many urologist have experience diagnosis or treating it. He did an excellent job explaining the procedure and giving me information for what to expect after my surgery so that I didnt have any false hopes that it would be fixed and have no further problems. He also knew I needed to be seen by a urogynecologist and helped me get set up with an appointment . He also asked if I would like to go home and think it over with my husband before e scheduled the surgery so I didnt feel pressured into something considering it is a big decision. I also live 6 hours away and he took that into consideration when talking with me on how long I would be there after the surgery. He said hed feel more comfortable keeping me a little longer invade there were any issues and because of the distance Id have to travel.

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Hamilton, is caring, kind, knowledgeable and I appreciate his honesty
UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Hamilton was very professional. He made sure I understood the diagnosis and the treatment options. He even drew pictures.
UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Hamilton's explanations were detailed and specific. My treatment is entirely by meds, which are all working fine for me now, having just completed my 78th birthday. Dr. Hamilton is extremely caring but never over the top (insincere or gushing). He consulted me at length regarding the performance of the Rx's and cautioned that my bladder medication Oxybutynin has been known to hamper cognitive health, a side-effect associated with dementia. At our next meeting I intend to begin a replacement (as he explained that there are other alternatives). I would recommend Dr. Hamilton or U of U Hospitals and Clinics to anyone in the world (just ask).
