Dr Hansen is a great physician and we're lucky to have him at the UU.

always has been very good

January 21, 2013

Very complete exam

December 20, 2012

I took a baseline test. So some of these questions are not applicable. Overall, my experience was efficient, easy, and worth while.

November 26, 2012

My son has headaches frequently, even with out a concussion, the doctor suggested I should put him on anti-depressants. I was shocked. I feel like it was a quick and easy decision on his part, but I didn't feel like it was a good idea. I told him we would talk to our pediatrician. I have also started keeping track of his headaches. I feel like his suggestion should have been that I should keep track of his headaches and what he has been doing that day to see if we can figure out triggers and to also see if the headaches diminish over time as he heals from the concussion.

Dr. Hansen was very friendly, really took time to evaluate my daughter; I figured that was why there was such a delay

August 31, 2012

looked at all the issues and and handeled him self well and promt

February 28, 2012

good

February 23, 2012

The only thing that wasn't optimal was that I had to get a blood test and I was not informed how early in the day I needed to have it done. I waited at the outpatient lab to have work done for quite some time only to be told I'd have to return before 8:00AM another day for the test to be done properly.

February 23, 2012

I appreciated the doctor talking directly to my son, the patient. All too often, healthcare providers do not speak directly to patients. Thank-you.

February 18, 2012

I could've used a bit more explanation about what the test score from Impact meant.

January 21, 2012

At one point I felt he didn't believe my symptoms were as bad as I described them.
