Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely the best doctor!!
I have been with him for over 35 years. My children and now grandchildren also see him. Yes, his wait times can get long, but that is because he cares about his patients and takes his time with each one. He is well respected in the medical community and I am thankful to have him as my doctor.

My grandfather has been with Hanson for over 35yrs.. Unfortunately.. He doesn't like change and won't get a new doctor. Hoping this hair brain of a doc retires soon!! No sympathy, doesn't return calls for days, over two hours of waiting in the waiting room.. Everytime!! Even though no one else is in the waiting room.. The receptionist has failed to relay message multiple times, he thinks telling jokes all the time is what patients want to hear when they're sick and just want answers. Forgets to prescribe what he said he would.. We asked for a prescription for a amigo for his 88 yr old patient.. Who is having a extremely hard time getting around.. His response.. "That's a lot of paper work" what kind of medical professional says that!! Hopefully we can talk our grandfather into getting a new doc asap.. Or Hanson retires soon for the sake of his patients..

The doctor is great but the office staff and wait times are ridiculous. I stepped out because I needed to get some fresh air (I was sick at the time and the office is stuffy as all get out). I came in mere minutes after my girlfriend and baby were called in and they wouldn't let me in to see them. No real reason for it, just because I made a complaint about the wait. Well I hope you guys enjoy the negative review.
