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.

Testimonials from patients of Scott A. Hammer, MD, FAAFP

Dr Scott Hammer really listens

from Ann in MD • August 10, 2023
I moved to Delaware and encountered several health problems. My daughter encouraged me to seek out Dr. Scott Hammer for guidance. He was the first doctor to listen to my whole condition and believe that I was suffering from something that was difficult to diagnose. He considered every possibility as he patiently listened. Such dedication is so appreciated when one does not feel well. Scott Hammer Read more...

Olga Gonzalez Rocks It

from Ann in MD • August 10, 2023
I have switched to a new MDVIP office because I moved from Delaware. I needed some documents to send to my new MDVIP doctor. Olga took care of it within 5 minutes of receiving the request. Her service to Dr. Scott Hammer is always the best you get. It takes so much stress off the transition process. Many thanks to Olga for her help today.

I love my Doctor!

from Rosemary in DE • March 23, 2023

When Dr. Scott Hammer told me he was changing his practice and joining MDVIP I had a decision to make. Do I stay with his care and pay the additional costs for a concierge service or find another doctor. Listening to his reasoning - more time devoted to his patients, more emphasis on well-being and staying healthy, his improved availability to his patients, all helped me decide this was the right Read more...

Great Diet Plan!

from Rosemary in DE • October 7, 2020
Image provided by: Rosemary
After my husband died nearly five years ago, eating my favorite things was a comfort. What wasn't comforting was the 20 odd pounds I put on in the following years. With the encouragement of Dr. Hammer who told me about the diet meal plans for 1 on the MDVIP website, I was able to stick with a diet during the lockdown and subsequent weeks of the pandemic and I have lost that 20 pounds. His Read more...
