Dr. Hanak was very informative and respectful. I’m so glad he was able to help me understand my diagnosis.

After years of pain, Dr. Hanak was able to have me tested with what he suspected I had, EDS! He was correct and at least now I can name my pain. He is a caring and helpful doctor. Just bring a book and snack with you and remember he will take as much time with you as everyone else. He's totally through!

A true expert in the field. I promise for as long as you have to wait to see him, you will be his only concern when he is with you. Fabulous at Diagnostics. He's the best doctor I have ever seen!

Everytime I go to see Dr. Hanak, he is running behind. When you visit him, you will understand why: He truly cares about each and every patient and really takes the time to listen. I have an ongoing disability and I really feel I would have lost hope long ago if it weren't for Dr. Hanak. Make an appointment, bring along a good book, and get ready for superior medical care from a true expert.

You would be fortunate to be under Dr. Hanak's expert care. He is brilliant and truly caring. He is a rare breed.
