“Dr. Hamilton and his team have been nothing but professional in every instance. He came highly recommended from several sources and I have not been disappointed. He did a total knee replacement on my right knee and I definitely wish to get a matching pair as soon as practical. The Health Loop system is definitely an asset. I live in Tehachapi and it gave me a sense of closeness to the Dr. and his staff. for the most part the system is accurate and the replies to my questions were timely.”
– Thomas M.
“Had a torn meniscus in my left knee. Dr. Hamilton did the surgery to remove the torn section. Both he and his assistant, Mr. Brennan were awesome. Although I had the same surgery a few years ago on my other knee, they both explained the procedure thoroughly and were very reassuring. The surgery went off without a hitch, and despite an issue with Worker's Comp on my physical therapy, my knee feels good as new! I highly recommend Dr. Hamilton and Mr. Brennan!”

I would say that Dr. Hamilton is the best Surgeon I have had.”

“Everyone at the Bakersfield SCOI is very professional, highly trained, personable, polite and efficient. Dr Hamilton inspires a high level of comfort and trust as well as a feeling of security due to his high level of expertise and professionalism. Mr Brannigan is also wonderful to work with. Everything is explained very clearly and the level of after care is first class. Whenever I had queries or questions, the response was rapid and comprehensible. When I had a slight medical issue, Heather explained the steps I had to take to deal with the issue. She then followed up with me to make sure the problem was fully resolved. I am so happy that SCOI was recommended to me and I would highly recommend SCOI to friends and family.”
