Dr. Hamoui sees patients in the clinic four days a week and personally handles all surgical procedures. On days when Dr. Hamoui is in the operating room, our nurse practitioners — Michelle Bartman, NP and Lauren Waters, NP — may see you for follow-up visits or routine care.
Importantly, our NPs always run plans and decisions by Dr. Hamoui directly, so you can be confident he is involved in your care regardless of who you see on a given day. Dr. Hamoui also communicates directly with patients via phone and text, so you're never left in the dark.
