Dr. Hagans is beyond exceptional. He is so knowledgeable, professional and passionate about his profession. I literally entrusted my life in his hands. I had an early diagnosis of breast cancer. I’ll go to him for every one of my mammograms from here on out. I hope when my own daughters are of age to start getting mammograms that Dr. Hagans is still in practice.

This doctor is a compassionate true healer. I went to him after a abnormal mammogram. I had implants at 30. I felt a lump, but was told it was a valve. Six years later the implant ruptured. A different Cosmetic surgeon sent me for a mammogram. When it came back abnormal, I was sent to Dr.Hagans. He saw me within that week, schuled surgery to remove the lump. He removed two lumps. The results were negative. But the masses were nickel size. I am hoping this will help someone who is going through uncertainty.I am a little more trusting again. Thank you Dr. Hagan from a greatful family.
