The online check-in option before arriving for my appointment along with the friendly ladies working at the front desk made my wait time less than 5 minutes. My follow up visit with Doctor Hanson was to discuss my biopsy and plan my upcoming surgery. Doctor Hanson is very professional and explained the procedure in detail easing my anxiety and concerns completely. I definitely recommend Doctor Hanson and his staff at Tennessee River Dermatology to anyone that needs a good dermatologist!
