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.

Care for Neck Injury
Dr. Hansen was a great listener and made sure to do a thorough exam before diagnosis. Even though my injury will need to heal on its own, he made sure I had the knowledge (what to and not expect) and tools (prescription to help with sleep and physical therapy) to get better. Dr. Hansen also did a great job explaining in layman’s terms what was happening with my body to cause my symptoms. He also explained a realistic time frame for things to resolve and what my options were if I wasn’t having any improvement. Overall a great experience.

Back Pain
Dr. Hansen is very personable and professional. I’ve had back pain for years that has as of late gotten worse. He explained why I was experiencing pain in a manner I could easily understand. Dr. Hansen also provided some options to correct this problem and listened to my concerns and ultimately my course of treatment was left to me. I highly recommend this Dr. and this clinic.
