I recently had sinus surgery with Dr. Han and am very satisfied with the results. I have had trouble breathing for years and my sister who is a nurse at Franciscan talked me into finally taking care of it. She said that Dr. Han is the best and I have to agree. I'm breathing really well for the first time in a long time!!

Had a septoplasty done in 2017. Took out an extensive amount of cartilage needed for my nose resulting in having to get a rhinoplasty and taken cartilage out of my ribs due to it being removed during surgery. Did not make me feel comfortable Did not make me feel comfortable, And was not sympathetic at Check ups when I was in pain

Dr. Han is a nice person, but challenging cases challenge him to the point that he doesn't know how to act. if you plan to visit him for a simple and minimal problem, he's your man, anything more, find someone else.

I had sinus surgery in August. Dr. Han is caring, professional and an excellent surgeon. My husband is now seeing him and will likely have the same procedure. We highly recommend Dr. Han

Since I work in the OR, I recommended Dr. Han to my brother and sis-in-law and my nephew just had surgery this Monday. Today is Friday and Connor is up and running and feels fantastic. He wanted to go to school today but Dr. Han suggested that he stays home one more day, how funny! They are very happy with Dr. Han.

Ive had tubes put in my ears twice by Dr. Han and going in for my 3rd time soon. My son has had them in 3 times and my daughter once all by Dr. Han. The surgeries were fast and pretty much painless. His nurses and staff are all comforting and very helpful. The center where the procedures were done was amazing. We were in and out very quickly. I will refer anyone that needs a good ENT to Dr. Han!

Dr. Han said that I had the worse case of swimmers ear that he had seen. I saw him on a Tuesday and by the next Saturday all was well! I am now recommending Dr. Han to a friend.

We love Dr. Han! He has been my family's doctor for many years and we all love him. I finally did something about my chronic sinuses, and now I can breathe!!! I didn't even realize how bad I was feeling til I did the sinus balloon procedure and can compare how I felt before and how much better I feel now. Talk about relief. I totally trust Dr. Han and I really like his nurse Michelle, she is really on the ball.

I have been a patient of Dr. Han's for numerous years and found that because of the number of offices, it is not a problem to get an appointment when needed. The staff is very courteous - which is especially important when you don't feel very good! Dr. Han is not only compassionate in his manner of care, but takes the time to listen. I have never felt he rushed through my visit. I give Dr. Han and his entire team/staff my recommendation.
