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.

Dr Hanaway is thoughtful, thorough and unfailingly attentive to questions

I’ve seen her twice, both times I’ve found her to be rushed and very dismissive. My second visit was my last visit, she blatantly told me what I was seeing wasn’t what I was seeing with a medical student in the room as well. I was upset because I knew I what I . So she said “ you look upset” and was confrontational again with the student in the room very unprofessional. She’s full of short term fixes or possible fixes but nothing long term. I’m big on feeling comfortable, and just as big on feeling listened too, I was very disappointed with her, especially after my visit with another urogyn, I went to see fir a second opinion who confirmed what I was seeing. To each there own, but I will not see her or recommend her again.

I came to her after complications due to a GYN surgery last year. In short, two GYNs observed scarring and a change in the architecture of my body. The female felt it bad enough to suggest a plastic surgeon. Dr. Hanaway felt there were no anatomical abnormalities, that any changes in appearance are similar to a skin condition (that I have no symptoms of) and everything was in its correct and normal position. At 56, I can tell you with NO uncertainty that things ARE NOT in their normal positions!
