    Dr. Hansen is the only dermatologist that knew what my rare, weird, annoying skin condition was¿after three other dermatologists had no clue and did everything from cutting biopsy samples from my skin to telling me to stay away from water and bathing only once a week¿FINALLY I found Dr. Hansen and he knew exactly what I had, and how to treat it. He¿s the best.
