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.

Sadly, we wasted a year with Dr Hanauer. He made assumptions about my husband and immediately put him on antiseizure meds without proper testing. We never had a clinical visit, would only be seen at his desk. Lots of tests and MRIs. One time I called because of an incident of confusion and he never once got on the phone with me but kept having his assistant speak to me and tell me to go to the ER. You were his doctor I needed to speak to you. Best thing he did was send us to someone else based on his misdiagnosis. Kept insisting seizures, surprise no seizures. Couldn't have been further off the mark. Finally diagnosed with bvFTD. Finally found a competent doctor that takes their time. Would never recommend Dr Hanauer, I'm sorry we spent so much time in his 'care'

Worst Doctor Around
DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR! Dr. Hanauer is the worst doctor in this office. I was a new patient and he was super rude, asking me if I was there for drugs the second I got into his office. I have not been able to walk for weeks with numbness in my feet and he wouldn't even let me get a word in to explain what was going on. He completely dismissed me and I took a day off of work to get no help with my condition. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

I am a 64 year old woman that has been suffering with migraines since I was 7 years old. I went to see Dr. Hanauer for something else previously but this was the first time I saw him regarding migraines. I have been trough many procedures, medications, studies and doctors over the years. My husband usually accompanies me to office visits as I do the same with him because we find it more effective when communicating to a doctor and remembering all that transpired in the past. Dr. Hanauer was cle

Recently was referred to Dr. H. for an embolic workup. He was extremely comprehensive, personable, professional and accomodating for my need to have this extensive workup done in a short time frame so I could be cleared for surgery. My impression was that he is very knowledgable and smart. He has a sense of humor and spent time in the consultation room listening to and evaluating my history. I recommend him highly and without reservation. His admin. ass't Ilyse is equally terrific.

Dr. Hanauer is a wonderful neurologist who throughly checks everything for any possibilities. He is very personable, explains things thoroughly & does not rush through the appointments. He addresses your questions without any hesitation.

Dr. Hanhauer was the rudest doctor I have ever met. He didn't ask me any questions and he was annoyed that I was there for a second opinion. He did not take my condition seriously and was extremely insensitive to a person who has been in severe chronic pain.
