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. Hammer helps me evaluate and improve my health with realism.

from Marty in DE • March 11, 2020
I originally started seeing Dr. Hammer when my previous doctor had my very anxious that I might have a tumor on my pancreas -- an extremely unlikely condition that the data did not support. He helped me review the large amount of blood sugar data, devices I was using, and realistic talk about blood sugar patterns for type 2 diabetics that helped me regain my logic and wisdom about my current Read more...

Scott Hammer...A Smashing Success!

from PAULA in DE • March 11, 2020
Once upon a long time ago, my 94-year old father-in-law (fighting metastatic colon cancer) and my nearly 80-year old mother (fighting Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) both needed doctors who could help them remain comfortable through essentially what was end of life. Enter Dr. Hammer. He was a comparatively young doctor with a ponytail. Neither parent had ever had exams so thorough nor care as Read more...

Dr. Hammer is our Doctor for life.

from Stuart in DE • March 11, 2020
Dr. Hammer has attended both my wife and I, her father and mother, my father and her sister. When circumstances required he has made several calls at our home, mostly in situations where elderly family members were in need of either medical skills or just comfort when end of life was near. His compassion, skill, bedside manner and wonderful personality have made him "OUR DOC". As my 91 Read more...

from Lawrence in DE • March 10, 2020

When my wife, Susan, was found to have both a cancerous polyp in her colon and a cancerous tumor in her kidney, we were not only floored by her diagnosis, but also did not know where to start and line up those who could help us.
Dr. Scott Hammer took us under his wing, set up appointments with the proper physicians and coordinated everything she needed while listening, giving advice as Read more...
