My experience at this office was very pleasant from the place I checked in, the receptionist were friendly, the Nurses who called me back to see Dr Hanson were very professional yet quite down to earth and very calming to make me as a patient feel comfortable. When the Doctor came in he was friendly and very tuned in to what my needs were and got right to the work on what I needed done and made every effort to see that the procedure was as painless as possible and checked while he was working asking frequently if I was doing alright! I would highly recommend this office.
