Dr. Frederick Hammond

The stretch of Camino del Rio South near Fashion Valley is a mix of medical offices and low-key professional suites, the kind of address that serves its purpose without fanfare. Among them is Dr. Frederick Hammond, an oral surgery practice handling procedures from wisdom teeth removal to corrective jaw surgery. The suite number—210—sits above a standard-issue office corridor, a detail that only matters when you’re navigating the building’s directory for the first time. Patient feedback here is sparse but uniformly positive: a 5.0 rating from 3 Google reviews, the kind of quiet consensus that suggests either a very niche clientele or a practice that doesn’t lean on public testimonials.

Oral surgeons occupy a peculiar space in healthcare—neither the routine familiarity of a dentist nor the acute urgency of an ER, but a specialty that deals in precision, recovery, and the occasional pre-op nerves. This one covers the expected: extractions, implants, bone grafting, and the less common (but no less critical) treatment of facial trauma. For anyone mapping out the visit, the directions place it just east of the 8 freeway, where Mission Valley’s grid gives way to medical plazas.
