MaleAbout Corey Alexander Hamilton
Corey Hamilton, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in total joint replacement with Prisma Health. Originally from the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania, Dr. Hamilton has completed extensive training across multiple regions of the United States. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia before attending medical school at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. He then completed his orthopedic surgery residency with University of South Carolina and Prisma Health, followed by advanced fellowship training in Chicago focused specifically on total joint replacement.
Dr. Hamilton specializes in the treatment of patients with debilitating arthritis of the hip and knee. His approach includes both operative and non-operative care, with a particular focus on hip and knee joint replacement procedures designed to help patients regain mobility and return to the activities that matter most to them.
A central aspect of Dr. Hamilton’s practice is building long-term relationships with his patients through continuity of care. He values collaboration in the treatment process, viewing each patient encounter as a partnership. Rather than prescribing a single course of action, Dr. Hamilton presents treatment options and works closely with patients to determine the path that best aligns with their goals and lifestyle.
Outside of his clinical work, Dr. Hamilton enjoys spending time outdoors. Living in South Carolina allows him to take advantage of the region’s natural beauty throughout the year, often hiking or spending time at the beach when he is not caring for patients.

I can't think of anything. I've always gotten the best of care while at Prisma. Dr Corey Hamilton and staff are an excellent team.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/4/2026
The wait time in the exam room was very long. It would have been nice to have an update or cordial inquiry as to why and how we were doing. My husband was in pain from sitting so long.

Can't think of anything since everyone was (and always is) wonderful.

Automatic kiosks at the entrance were difficult to use as an orthopedic patient. I could not adjust the height nor could I sit to complete. Challenging to do when in pain.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/7/2026
Y'all did a great job. Super job. Thank you for your kindness.

Not a thing everything was perfect Dr Hamilton is very nice and courteous
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/5/2026
Everyone I met, From the lobby staff to the doctor, was kind courteous and helpful. My only complaint is that you're out door signage directs orthopedic patients to the side of the building with lots of handicapped Parking spots. That's terrific however, there is no side entrance to the building. All of us on canes and walkers were forced to Walk an extra distance to the front entrance. The layout for parking is unacceptable for those of us with mobility issues. This could easily be resolved with a side entrance.

My appointment was for 2:20pm....did not get called in from waiting room until 3:15pm....Then it was another 40minutes before a Dr. came in .... Scheduling seems to be a problem.............
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/12/2025
I was impressed with the care and the listening I got from Dr . Hamilton and the resident I spoke with. I thought this visit would be a typical doctor visit where they rush you through but it wasn't like that at all. I can't say it could have been improved.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/8/2025
I'm very happy with care I received
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/12/2025
More information about the course of action. I personally understand now why the course of action was taken. I just wanted more information for my own satisfaction. After treatment I understand next steps more and the benefits that have addressed the symptoms. Outcomes should be considered somewhat significant in stopping pain.

None, always a good experience!

It good the way it is
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/20/2025
Maybe do better with wait times. Got in to see the doctor an hour late, but he is VERY thorough and took the time to listen and explain my coming procedure thoroughly.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/14/2025
I was well taken care of
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/13/2025
I really did get all I needed at my visit!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/9/2025
Be able to get an earlier appointment would have been really good since his hip has got to be the place he's in a lot of pain. Thank you for this time.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/7/2025
Shorting wait time to see the doctor. Appointment at 2:20 , Doctor comes in close to 4:00
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/7/2025
Dr Hamilton and his staff are professional and caring. I've had the absolute best care from Dr Hamilton and would use him if needed again. I tell everyone who I had do my hip surgery and would recommend him 1000x over...
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/6/2025
Do not make me wait over an hour past my appointment time. I see this comment from many others in their reviews
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/2/2025

Keep doing what you are doing to make the person know you care about them!!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/28/2025
They were running a little behind schedule. I think letting the patient know at check-in would be helpful.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/26/2025
Camden Camp Parking needs to be better. Three spots for such a large facility was not good. There are plenty around the corner, but there's a long walk. It could have been a lot better.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/23/2025
Just continue your excellent service.

Keep God 1st in your life forever ?!

Wait was way too long. We were there 2 hours for a consultation. No one smiled, apologized for the wait, etc.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/6/2025
There was evidently an emergency of some sort, the suite receptionist was not present. Several people were waiting in waiting room for over 30 minutes, without any sort of greeting/ update that office was running late. My appointment was for 3:00 and it was almost 4:40 before we were exiting. General communication would be appreciated. Thank you
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/6/2025
Everyone was wonderful. It was my 1st time meeting with Dr Hamilton, and even though he had tough news to share with my husband & I, he showed concern, empathy, and a desire to find out what can be done to take care of the difficult situation I'm in. We felt very confident with Dr Hamilton working with us.

Everything was great during my visit.

None - everything went very smoothly.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/4/2025
We waited over an hour to see the physician. My appointment was at two. We didn't get in to see them till almost four and we didn't get out till almost five. I think double booking and overbooking and postponement to all kinds of stuff is just ridiculous. If we're 15 minutes late, they cancel our appointments. If he's 15 minutes late, we should get money off of our bill or we should be able to cancel it.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/31/2025
Let me know while I was there what type of medication that you were going to give. I'M SUFFERING AND ? ? ? ? ? ? DON'T HAVE ANY HELP!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/16/2025
Nothing needed. Everything was great from facility cleanliness to all employees friendliness.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/12/2025
Dr Hamilton and his staff are strongly outstanding professionals...and have gone way beyond my expectations on the care I received...I cannot say enough great things about them. The only concern I have was with Prisma billing...I was paying well more per month on my copay than Prisma was asking ....which was reflected on My Chart ( please see my payment record for confirmation)....and yet bill was turned over to a collection agency and I don't understand why. Was there a mistake made? Possibly a miscommunication ? Not sure what happened there
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/11/2025
I received all of the information and help that I needed.

I waited in waiting room for over an hour past my appointment time, then I had to wait another 40 minutes in my room until I could see the Dr. Having to wait so long makes me wonder why we have appointment times.

Doctor is wonderful but staff are mediocre. Not particularly happy or helpful. Wait time was well over an hour!
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/29/2025
I like the way the service came upon me and everybody treated me good. I'm glad they're going to do the surgery for me in the hospital. And I believe I have faith in the doctor. There was some good, good, good nurses. And I would like to come again. Thank you. Have a nice day.
