What Members Are Saying

Through the last two years, I have been the sole caregiver for my Father. At 95 living alone and not able to drive any longer, he became quite a handful. He insisted that he wanted to stay in his house. His health was fair and he could still live independently, until he couldn't. He became very demanding and thought I should just drop everything to attend to his every need. During this stressful time Dr. Hammer was always available to me when I needed advise or support. He certainly helped me maintain my sanity. My dad ended up the last month or so having 24 hour care at home. He turned 96 and passed two weeks later. Dr. Hammer was there for me and continues to be my good friend and my Doctor.

I’ve been very happy with Scott Hammer as my primary cate physician for the past five years, but never more so than when I was admitted to a hospital for the treatment of pancreatitis. It was a difficult hospital stay, but Dr. Hammer was with me via phone and text throughout. He even shared some test results with me before hospital staff did and then he coordinated my post-hospitalization care through two gastroenterologists. In the end his initial conclusion on the cause of the pancreatitis was confirmed.

Scott Hammer is an awesome person and a great doctor. We were his patients before he started with MDVIP and followed him into concierge medical care. He makes it worth it. You can tell he genuinely cares. He's always willing to go the extra mile to ensure me and my family get the best care possible. If he feels something is outside his area of expertise, he's willing to research and call on his colleagues to make sure we get the care we need. It's not about ego or money with Scott. It's about his patients, his people. We definitely appreciate him and how he cares for our family. He's a part of the family as well. It also doesn't hurt that we share an alma mater (Go Tarheels!) and even the same dorm even though it was a decade a part. He's our doc and we are so glad that we have him in our corner.

Meet Scott A. Hammer, MD, FAAFP

Family medicine is about families. My desire as your family physician is to provide you with the same type of personalized healthcare that I expect for my own family. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care doctor, I have the time to focus on your healthcare needs and those of your loved ones. By providing a warm, unhurried atmosphere, I have the energy to serve as your primary care physician in a manner that you deserve. It will be an honor, as your personal doctor, to develop the type of relationship that fosters excellent health and well-being across the life spectrum.

Apart from obstetrics, I practice the full scope of family medicine, from birth through the type of end-of-life decisions that my additional board certification in Hospice and Palliative Care necessitate. I believe in quality of life throughout an entire lifetime and will work as a team with you and yours to ensure that you are living your ideal life. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. It is my fervent desire to know my patients well and, by doing so, be better equipped to manage their health.

I have special interests in pediatric, adolescent, adult and geriatric health, chronic disease management and minor office procedures, to name a few. I suppose that doesn't really narrow it down, but in my office we will be able to focus on those interests that are important to you, with an emphasis on wellness and prevention. I am fluent in English and Spanish, a member of the Bayhealth Board of Directors and Medical Staff and serve Central and Southern Delaware and beyond!

I look forward to our future together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

My Doctor Scott Hammer

from Sheila in DE • February 16, 2024

My doctor is like family to me. I can't imagine not having him in my life.He has been through so many life changes with me. I can always count on him. I feel he was the reason my husband lived a little longer than he would have if Dr. Hammer hadn't seen something suspicious in a MRI. He is just all around BEST !!

Dr Hammer is the best primary care Dr. I’ve ever had. I believe he saved my life.

from Benjamin Mark in DE • February 16, 2024

An early June 2023 I went to Dr. Hammer‘s office along with my brother complaining of how my belly felt and he sent me to Bayhealth to get a CAT scan. The results showed that I had an area of scar tissue which led to a small bowel blockage. The blockage though caused by the scar tissue they were unsure on how it even developed and it ended up causing Pierre appendicitis. I ended up in and out of Read more...

from Carolyn in DE • January 24, 2024

While on a trip to hike Colorado, we tested positive for Covid. We called Dr. Hammer and within 2 hours, we had our Paxlovid prescription. We were back on trails after a 2 day respid. It took 3 days for our traveling friends’ physician to get back to them. We are so grateful to know we have a physician who follows up so quickly and is so very thorough. We have never experienced this Read more...

from Christine in DE • January 22, 2024

Cancer, one of the most scary words you can hear. When I first received that diagnosis, it was Dr. Hammer who held my hand reassuring me all will be okay. Dr. Hammer set aside a time for us to dissect, discuss and plot a course for my CLL. We spent over an hour, uninterrupted, listening to my fears, reassuring me it will be okay, and dissecting this diagnosis. Dr. Hammer had done a great Read more...
