Dr. Michael Hummer is the finest doctor I've ever known. In a long chronic illness, I've met too many. Dr. Hummer outshines them all in knowledge, compassion, empathy and care. He is a brillaint, joyful man who I feel honored to know. I've been his patient for 12 years and he's never once treated me with anything less than absolute kindness & respect. He has stabilized a complicated condition that was out of control & dehabilitating. While under his excellent care, I have seen substantial improvement. He hires high-quality people and demands excellence from his staff. He does not allow them them to treat his patients disrespectfully. I cannot say enough about Dr. Hummer's overall goodness. I hold him in the highest of high regard. If all doctors were even half the doctor he is, there would be less suffering in the world.
