Dr. Michael Keller Hannigan, MD

I have seen Dr. Hannigan about three times over the course of 4 or so years. Two of those have been for viral type infections and one for a more serious respiratory infection. In all cases he has been very cordial and has conducted a thorough fact finding interview of my illness prior to administering any test or diagnosis. On all occasions he has never shown some of the negative comments others have made. I feel he is a very nice person, concerned with the patient's complaints and medically knowledgeable. If he was any other way I wouldn't have been to see him more than once.

Doctor Hannigan has been very friendly and professional every time I have visited the Westport Green office. From my experience he has been one of the best doctors I have been to which is why I go to that off whenever I have an issue. I don't know Doctor Hannigan personally but the negative reviews seem to paint the picture of different person than the doctor who I have seen. I have been going there for about 3 years and he has always been very friendly and even keeled.

Just an angry little man. I really do not know why Baptist doesn't do something about how he treats people. If he wasn't in a specialty where patients don't have much of a choice of whether or not to seek service, he'd be without patients.

I had only one visit with Dr. Hannigan. He was the rudest person I have come across in a very long time. Not only was his behavior unprofessional but his demeanor was borderline traumatic. He didnt even look at me when he came into the room. He didn't introduce himself. He didn't shake my hand. He didn't ask my name. He threw the chart down and said "why are you here?" When I tried to tell him, he rolled his eyes, shook his head, would not let me speak, would not listen, twisted my words, and made me feel like some kind of criminal for just being there. I'm sure he comes across hundreds of people with back issues or migraine complaints but it is not acceptable to assume that everyone is drug-seeking or is just a "whiner". I was afraid of going to the doctor for 2 years and it was my worst nightmare. I legitimately wanted help (diagnostic imaging & referrals) to address a chronic issue and he showed no compassion or manners. He embarrassed me in front of his staff and other… patients. He made me cry & I was actually scared by this man. Then he tried to intimidate me with a "brain tumor possibility" that was never mentioned before but was purely to scare me out of there and shut me up. My eyes started to tear again and he put his hand in my face and said "I'm done here" and walked out on me again. The nurse was in the room that time (our second encounter when he found out he upset me) and she was speechless and looking down at the floor and offered me a complete refund afterwards on the spot because she knew the abuse was apparent but could not openly say it because he is her employer. He should not be allowed to see patients. I come from a family of doctors and aspire to be one myself & i work in a hospital...I have never seen such behavior, even in the most tired, busy, run-down interns.
