The doctor confused me with another patient, then excused herself by saying that she had just reviewed 20 charts before walking in. This was totally understandable but when I called back another time with a question about PT based on new xrays, i was told "the doctor only deals with your low back." She sees me for my neck. I have the sense that I am an invisible person on a conveyor belt.

I am disappointed with the services that Dr. Hansen provided for me. She spent literally 5 minutes total with me with my two visits combined. She did not explain what my MRI detected- in person, or show the results to me. She showed no concern that I waited for two days for my pain medication- I had to call and pester the staff to pester her for a response on my medications. I felt no concern from Dr. Hansen about the pain I have been in. I was very disappointed. If I could give suggestions - I would say: spend more time explaining whats going on to your patient- dont have the patient be the person to be responsible for calling in their own prescription to YOUR staff, and respond to any concerns of the patient within a reasonable amount of time.

The only issue I had with the Dr was that she did not introduce herself when she came into the room. In fact she never did introduce her self.

April 08, 2013

Thank you, Pamela Hansen, for the extraordinarily personal, sensitive, and professional care. I felt heard, seen, understood, and empowered. Exceptional care!

April 05, 2013

Dr. Hansen was wonderful. As was her resident.

March 22, 2013

I felt very "brushed over"... unimportant to the doctor. As if she didn't really give a shit about the pain I was feeling.

March 15, 2013

All in all a good experience

March 05, 2013

I love the attention and care I am shown at the Orthopedic Center! Wonderful staff!

March 01, 2013

My main issue was delay in being seen, which took away from fully addressing issue.

January 29, 2013

No complaints!

January 13, 2013

And I didn't have to get weighed and measured! I'm so tired of that-thank you!

December 30, 2012

Will not return to see this care giver. Bedside manners very poor.

December 24, 2012

Excellent

December 24, 2012

Great care, both in acupuncture and exercise - and a gift to boot!!! Thank you for the headphones, too!

December 17, 2012

After describing my symptoms, Dr. seemed to know exactly what to look for, where to look. X-rays were promptly taken and made available. Dr. helped me understand what they showed, what caused my pain, how to attempt to relieve it.

December 14, 2012

re. EMG: MD seemed to have little interest in my asking questions about MY body--very cool & abrupt manner. The assistants were appropriate & friendly.

December 05, 2012

I am in a lot of pain, and I appreciate the care & attention to detail in helping me. Hopefully this will help over time.

October 29, 2012

The doctors and nurses were exceptionally attentive to my needs and compasisonate with my care during the procedure.

July 10, 2012

I was being seen for back pain. I have some herniated and bulging discs, on 3 or 4 levels, along with some permanent nerve damage on my left side. I didn't feel like I was believed. I was prescribed physical therapy, which I will do and have done for

July 01, 2012

i would never send anyone i know to dr hansen never ever.

June 28, 2012

Dr. Hansen is very helpful with a great bedside manner

June 18, 2012

Dr Hanson did not offer medication to relieve severe pain. I had to see another doctor later to get pain meds so that I could make it to the airport the next day.

June 05, 2012

She took the necessary time with me. She demonstrated a new physical therapy exercise that she wanted me to do -- and when I wasn't sure I understood it, she demonstrated and asked me to do it under her her supervision. She answered all of my questions honestly.

May 11, 2012

excellent experience, have already recommended to friends, family and others

May 09, 2012

Everyone is very pleasant and friendly but I feel I am wasting the caregiver's time and they are anxious to get on to the next task and next patient

May 01, 2012

It was a good appointment; however, I realized after the appointment that I don't actually know what the diagnosis was or have any idea what may have caused the injury. But I am following up with physical therapy and I know I can go back if it doesn't get better.

March 30, 2012

I have had two injections, neither of which has worked and little explanation of why it wouldn't and what to do next.

March 21, 2012

I felt like Dr. Hansen cared about me, and she is very qualified to provide the best treatment needed.

March 17, 2012

My care provider is outstanding and I have complete confidence in him!!!

March 08, 2012

Dr. Hansen has always been very concerned and explained all information as well as x-rays, tests, etc., in a way that I can understand. She is never in a hurry, always has time for the patient.

February 14, 2012

Dr. Hansen never seems rushed and always takes time to listen and explain treatment and medications.

February 04, 2012

I felt that the provider did not listen or hear what my complaint is, I am seeking another opinion

January 11, 2012

I feel like I wasn't being heard about the amount of pain I'm in, and was left with no therapy for 2 and 1/2 weeks until my next appointment to deal with the pain. I'll be calling in.
