I've been going to Dr. Hanson for several years for skin conditions from not taking care of myself in the sun when I was younger. He's always very thorough and polite. Went today for some spots that were suspicious on my back. He checked those and it turned out they were completely ok. But while there he found several precancerous spots on my forehead and cheeks that I hadn't even noticed. So thankful for Dr. Hanson and his staff. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for all your dermatology needs
