I was helped by the doctor. He was very successful in my diagnosis he gave me the right medication and I feel excellent.

My experience was very professional and comfortable. The provider was excellent.

I waited two hours for my appointment. My appointment was at 3:30. I was seen past 5:30. Also, the girl in the front desk looked like she didn't want to work there. She wasn't friendly and she was leaning back, almost lying on her chair in the front desk. Not a good look for the office.

Dr. Hanson was thorough, professional and had full knowledge and recollection of our last visit (which had been the very first time he saw me). We had a good conversation about my ear issues and I walked away feeling heard and received good information to move forward. Thank you.

this provider DR hanson has been my doctor for years already he is the best! long waits can be hard on me but its worth it!!!
