Dr. Hempton is in a word marvelous. He is extremely educated and thus wonderful at his craft. He has a fantastic bedside manner, always inquiring if patient is comfortable etc. He is also pleasant and down to earth despite is many higher degrees that might lead some doctors down the "snoot" trail which i always find off putting. He called in a script and talked to me directly on the phone one time when he was away on business just to make sure my pain was satisfied. He is a true doctor.
