Dr. Hanson is a true gift to my life. When I first found out I had cancer, I was terrified! Dr. Hanson assured me this was a normal reaction. He was very compassionate and and caring to my needs and to my fear. Before he did anything, he explained, in great detail, what I could expect. Dr. Hanson is a very kind and skilled Dr. I also would like to thank his staff for all of their kindness, comfort and concern. They are true professionals!I can't thank Dr. Hanson enough! I would give him a much higher score if I could. He deserves it! Dr. Hanson is a rare treasure and a gift to my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

WOW! I found Dr. Hanson one of the most caring physicians I have seen. He is always upbeat and working to do what is best for me. His expansive knowledge base gave me such confidence. At every visit he kept me updated as to what was going on and also kept me upbeat that "we" were going to beat this cancer. His staff was always friendly and ready to help me. The nurses were quick to get me into a chair for my treatment. They worked together and made me feel very confident that they knew what they were doing. Thanks Dr. Hanson. You will always be "my hero."
