Dr. Hanby did an outstanding job of replacing my right hip because I was in much pain before the hip replacement but now I feel a whole lot better. It was worth the wait

Dr. Hanby is very nice and he listened to me. He is very thorough about the subject of my pain. He gave me a choice of what I wanted to do, shot in one knee or both. I would recommend him to anyone that needs to see a orthopedic doctor.

Dr. Hanby takes the time needed to explain procedures for my knee. However, he also looks at you as a "whole patient." I had a fall that affected another body part and he wanted to know about the fall which resulted in an MRI on my spine and a referral to a non-invasive MD within Ozark Orthopedic. Although he treats me for my knee, he took the time to explain the interactions and was sure I understood that I needed to follow up with the Spine Clinic regarding my back MRI. I find this refreshing, as often I find that doctors just listen to their "speciality." This is not the case of Kris Hanby, he is matter of fact but kind and willing to accommodate you at your level of comfort as needed to improve or maintain your quality of life

Dr Hanby is very professional, he answered all of my questions. He is a very kind and caring doctor. Provides good information about the post op care of my knees. I’m at 7 weeks after surgery and feeling so much better. I plan to have my other knee replaced in the future with Dr Hanby.
