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.

Friendly and professional visit. Covid precautions followed.

Absolutely, he was willing to see me when I broke my wrist, even though he had a full schedule. He was considerate very conscientious. I would go to him again, even though I hope the need does not arise.

I always trust PSO doctors for their skill and creativity in solving age-related orthopedic issues for me. Drs Krumins and Hassan are knowledgeable and highly trained. I’ve returned to both of them several times.

Extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable. Took x-rays and diagnosed the issue. Within 48 hours of wearing the hand device he prescribed and an anti-inflammatory, I felt relief for the first time in more than a few months. Would definitely recommend Dr Hassan.

Dr Hassan has operated on me numerous times...from simple cyst removals to major wrist surgery. He has always been professional, discussed my options and has answered all of my questions. I've been extremely happy with my surgical outcomes. He was the only hand surgeon who was willing to give me options.

Douglas M Hassan MD 1724 W Union Ave #100, Tacoma, WA 98405 Orthopedic surgeon Angela Rittinger 42 points 2 weeks ago Although I had previously left a better review, my opinion has changed tremendously after my last experience. He has never been a good communicator and I had accepted this as I needed a surgeon not a friend. However, his lack of communication and unwillingness to listen cost me dearly this time. A routine shoulder surgery has turned into a nightmare and has resulted in an extreme case of frozen shoulder because he would not listen to my complaints of continuing pain. I am now seeing a different surgeon who tackled the frozen shoulder with MUA. Now he must address the original issue that Hassan did not. 6 months of pain. Limited sleep. All because of an unwillingness to listen.
