Dr. Hanley is an outstanding Doctor he saved my granddaughter's life almost 19 years ago when there was only a 15% chance for her to make it with her very serious complications to her heart. She very soon will be going in for her surgery after 14 years, he is the only we trust and know that she is in the best of hands. Thank you Dr. Hanley we are blessed to have you as her surgeon.

Doctor Frank Hanley, is one of the most humble, professional, and caring physician I have ever met. I am a TCV nurse and have encountered many in my health care career, and he is magnificent. Our son Cody has Tetrology of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia and MAPCAS. To make his defect more complicated he also has Alagille Syndrome which makes vessels small and quite difficult to grow. Dr. Hanley has been the only surgeon that did not take away our HOPE, for every other opinion had little Cody's death sentence at the end of the conversation. We were told he would pass in a day, a week, a month, a year, and now he is 22 months old, running, and playing, and of course doing all things he should not do.. We are so proud of his courage and strength... God has been so good... Doctor Hanley has saved our son's life three times now, for little Cody is quite complicated and does not show sign of distress until he is ready to crash.... From Gods grace and Doctor Hanley's intelligence, delicate… skills, and research, our son lives and lives well.. This is an amazing physician!!! God gave him such a gift to save these sweet children who just want to live, to love, laugh, and play... I pray our son continues to move mountains, and for all other little angels fighting through so many battles to live.. Our son has earned his armor and his army stands behind him.... Special thank you to Doc Hanley for being the person he is not just a surgeon , but he defines the meaning of the oath every Doctor has to take to become a physician.

Dr. Hanley is an amazing surgeon and a very caring man. He took the time to answer all of our questions in detail after our son's surgery, despite having been on his feet for 6+ hours. Because of his unifocalization technique, our son only had one surgery instead of the 2 or 3 we were facing. He also was able to help a friend's daughter when her Dr's had given up on her.
