Dr. Hamer passionately believes that children are not just “little adults.” It takes a special kind of bedside manner to connect with young patients and make them feel comfortable. She believes it is an important part of young life to grow up loving your pediatrician and not to be afraid of going to the doctor. She has special clinical interests in diagnosing and treating respiratory and breathing disorders like asthma and allergies, as well as the medical aspects of breastfeeding. When she is not forging close relationships with her patients at work, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband and three children outdoors, especially whenever they can be near a lake.
