Dr. Hansen explained to me very clearly what plan of action we were going to take with my health care, his medical knowledge is very impressive and I would recommend him highly to anyone! He was very empathetic, caring and sensitive to my busy lifestyle. He has a great personality with a good sense of humor, and he earned my respect and trust very quickly. Prior to my visit, I was disappointed with the care I was receiving from another provider and felt immediately comfortable with Dr. Hansen.

Dr. Hansen is very knowledgeable and informative about the condition that you are in. He is very compassionate and understanding and his staff at the Fort Worth office are great, friendly and helpful. My family and my experience with him and his office has been by far the best I have come into contact with.
