I have been seeing Dr. Hanft since 2008 and find her to be skilled and caring. Her most significant outstanding trait is that she tunes in and listens to her patients. This makes her an unusually valuable doctor who I will continue to see when needed. The office staff is satisfactory and more importantly, Dr. Hanft's assistant is also knowledgable, professional, and friendly.
