Dr. Hansen is an outstanding provider. She listened and made me feel hopeful about my situation and did a great job of offering me options and counsel.

UofU Patient
March 30, 2017
Dr, Pam Hansen and her team are exceptional. They treat the whole person with confidence, care and a genuine concern for the wellbeing of patients who seek their treatment.

I waited 5 weeks to get in to see a doctor. When I arrived for my appointment, a PA walked in and facilitated the entire appointment- history, exam, and formed a plan of care. The MD came in at the end for about 4 minutes and had a completely different plan than what I was just told by the PA, then left. I was extremely frustrated. I came to see the doctor, not the PA.

UofU Patient
February 24, 2017
although I was attempting to seek relief from back pain the doctor automatically assumed I was only there to acquire pain meds. she did not seem to she concern with the issue at hand

UofU Patient
February 21, 2017
When I visit with Dr. Hansen I feel like she really cares. She wouldn't recommend anything she wouldn't have done to her or one of her loved ones. I really feel important and I trust her and what she tells me.

UofU Patient
February 18, 2017
I was told I was scheduled with the MD ( I wanted this since she had treated me in the past for this problem ) then the PASSING saw me. had to repeat the entire story. PA did not appear empathetic. MD did come in and the visit went better but wish I had more time with the doctor

UofU Patient

Dr. Hanson was very professional and courteous.

UofU Patient
February 06, 2017
All of the staff that evaluated me were excellent.

UofU Patient
February 04, 2017
Fantastic, compassionate care from Dr. Hansen and Dr. Graham.

UofU Patient
February 03, 2017
I felt great about the treatment plan my doctor provided, but she wanted me to go to PT, then follow up with her in 6 weeks to check my progress. Problem is, PT couldn't get me in for 4 weeks so I won't have had enough time for her to really know if it's helping...

UofU Patient
February 01, 2017
Dr. Hansen is one of the best physicians I have received treatment from.

UofU Patient
January 30, 2017
Dr. Hansen is wonderful. She sits and explains everything. She listens and takes the time I need to feel like I really understand what is going on. Thank you...thank you...thank you!!!

UofU Patient
January 22, 2017
Very confident in Dr. Hansen's knowledge and ability.

UofU Patient
January 13, 2017
the doctor was knowledgeable but not overly friendly. She spent the first half of the visit chewing me out before even asking me about my problem or doing any tests.

UofU Patient
January 11, 2017
Dr. Hanson is always friendly, concerned and explains problems and treatments. I've recommended Dr. Hanson and U of U Orthopedic Center many times.

UofU Patient
January 08, 2017
Dr. Hansen is really fantastic! I have a lot of really nice things to say about her. She is incredibly kind and patient. I feel confident and safe with her helping me with my issues. The U is lucky to have her. Give her a raise too! ;))

UofU Patient
December 25, 2016
Dr. Pamela Hansen is skillful, kind, attentive, caring, and she was an exceptional LISTENER. I trusted her completely with my healthcare. She was able to help me to see a physical therapist the next day who could provide me with the additional support that I needed. The physical therapist that she recommended, Whitney Myer, was excellent and informative.

UofU Patient
December 22, 2016
Dr. Hansen is always great. I worked either her PA this time- I can't remember her name- but she was great too! They are both thorough and caring

UofU Patient
December 18, 2016

UofU Patient
December 18, 2016

UofU Patient
December 17, 2016
Dr. Hansen has gone out of her way to treat my lumbar spine issue. She spent a good amount of time with me and even consulted with other physicians during my appointment. Her Team could not have been more competent and understanding.

UofU Patient
December 15, 2016
Outstanding, Good Job!! Thank you and Bless Dr. Hansen.

UofU Patient
December 12, 2016
I have seen Dr. Hansen in years past. I am happy to be back under her care. She is kind, caring and best of all an expert in her field.

UofU Patient
November 02, 2016
Dr. Pamela Hansen is wonderful. She listens, takes the time needed and genuinely cares. She laid out my options and explained various outcomes that I might experience based on the path I choose to take. Not that I like going to see the doctor, but it is always a pleasure to see Dr. Hansen.

UofU Patient
November 01, 2016
The care provider did not tell me about the side effects of the injection, which she gave me during the visit. She did not tell me that it would hurt in a couple hours after the injection. I had to go online to check the side effects and what to do.

UofU Patient
October 24, 2016
I would have liked some recommendations or an action plan to help me resolve my low back problems. The only recommendation was to wait another 3 months for a follow-up appointment. Unfortunately my appointment, that I had waited two months for, occurred on one of my few "good" back days. My low back pain and sciatica has now returned and I have no idea what to do next except wait for another appointment.

UofU Patient
October 18, 2016
Dr. Hansen was wonderful. She spent time explaining the process moving forward, she answered all my questions and concerns, and then she allowed me to make the decisions on my future care. I was delighted with Dr. Hansen's her knowledge and her willingness to work with me. I would highly recommend her.

UofU Patient
October 11, 2016
Couldn't ask for a better care provider.

UofU Patient
September 24, 2016
I appreciated the conservative course of treatment that she suggested....which was nil. I wasn't expecting that....I was blissful.

UofU Patient
September 20, 2016
Dr. Hansen is the most thorough Orthopedic doctor I have seen for my back issues. In addition, her bedside manner gives me confidence and assurance that everything is being done to address my condition.

UofU Patient
September 19, 2016
I have had a a good amount of injections in my left shoulder the injections only last a couple of months. I'm in pain everyday and can not sleep. This Dr. Only told me that it will take time to heal in the mean time I have to suffer in more pain everyday.....

UofU Patient
August 29, 2016
I could have had a little more explanation of the problem I was experiencing.

UofU Patient
August 23, 2016
Dr. Pamela Hansen is exceptional. she is the first Dr. that has taken the time with me and gotten results. I pay out of pocket just to see her. I am so grateful.

Excellent doctor, I feel I am in good hands.

UofU Patient
August 13, 2016
Doctor is new to me and trying hard to help with all my health problems, of which I have many.

UofU Patient
July 13, 2016
Dr. Hansen is an excellent doctor who is very concerned about her patients and wants to help them to get better and schedules you to come in early because of the pain you were experiencing

UofU Patient
July 05, 2016
Although my condition had somewhat resolved, I had questions for Dr. Hansen about what to do going forward, follow up, etc. She seemed very rushed and shook my hand and was out the door before I could ask her anything. She was in the room for less than 5 minutes. It was very frustrating and unacceptable.

UofU Patient
June 22, 2016
Dr Hansen is what I consider a "Real" Doctor. She is always helpful, explains and answers all my questions and has helped me thru some hard times. She is always positive and very caring I wish more Dr.S could follow her example. I for what ever reason Dr Hansen were to leave the University I would follow her if at all possible that is how much faith and trust I have in her as a medical professional

UofU Patient
June 14, 2016
Dr. Hansen is exceptional. I needed to know what to expect among a range of possibilities. I left very pleased with the information I was given. Dr. Hansen speaks with experience and authority but with a heartfelt compassion. I feel very fortunate to be under her care.

UofU Patient
June 04, 2016
I wasn't listening I think she explained something about what she saw on Xray the words I didn't understand and I didn't pay attention my fault not hers .

Dr Jansen was a great listener and took the time to help me decide the best care and treatment for my condition.

UofU Patient
March 23, 2016
They told me as they came in that they were super busy that day. So, they seemed a little rushed but still answered all my questions.

UofU Patient
March 19, 2016
Dr Hansen was amazing! I didn't feel rushed during the visit. I felt like she really wanted me to understand what I had going on and what could be done to make my knee better. I like that she is all about trying different options first versus surgery to deal with my knee pain and problems. Love her and will keep going to her.

UofU Patient
February 01, 2016
Dr. Hansen is awesome. She is very understanding and always makes me feel better about what is hurting me. She is sympathetic and always gives me great recommendations that are more integrative to deal with injuries and pain maintenance. She is wonderful and I recommend her all the time!

UofU Patient

Dr. Hansen is wonderful. She's very kind and compassionate. I feel that she really cares about me and my back and sciatic issues!

UofU Patient
January 23, 2016
I have a rare great find in Dr. Hansen. No airs of superiority nor status. She simply cares about me not as a patient but as a fellow human being. She confidently knows what she knows (and that is vast) and knows what she doesn't. When she doesn't have the answer to the problem she determinedly enlists others to solve it. Thank you Dr. Hansen, you've restored my faith in the health care system

UofU Patient
January 22, 2016
Dr. Pamela Hansen has been so patient and really listened and I believe she cares very deeply. She treats me as a patient that has individual needs and concerns. At other institutions I feel like it is rushed and the approach is cookie cutter. With Dr. Hansens lead over my care at U of U orthopedics I finally feel like I could get better and manage successfully get through back and neck injuries from the past. I am truly so grateful!

Dr Hansen was terrific!

UofU Patient
October 06, 2015
I spent a good amount of time with Dr Hansens resident and explained my hx. When Dr Hansen came in I appreciated that I could tell she had looked at my previous scans/labs/hx to some degree. However I was concerned that the resident was not able to fully communicate all of my concerns and therefore didnt feel like all of them were addressed. I think Dr Hansen was too quick to jump to only a muskulotel skeletal issue and not consider other contributing factors to my dx without me really pushing her. Once we discussed one possibility and when I questioned for the other possibility she said she would discuss that next time. Considering I have been in pain for 5+ months and took about 2 months to get into her I really wasn't interested in waiting until another followup visit a few weeks out to discuss this. I perceived she had spent enough time with me and that had to move on, which I fully get and understand the need to stay on schedule but still the same....I didn't want to wait longer. This caused me to go to another provider to address this concern. Additionally, I didn't really feel like she could trust/believe/see that I was very aware and articulate of what was happening to my body and the symptoms I was experiencing. She was kind and articulate to explain things but I felt she had a preconceived notion of my dx and was saying more what she wanted to say rather than really addressing my concern. It required significant questioning and convincing for her to really

UofU Patient
October 03, 2015
Dr. Hansen is very professional. This clinic was highly recommended to me. I feel it was the right place to come to.

UofU Patient
September 23, 2015
She wasn't great, but got the job done. She listened halfheartedly and didn't show very much sympathy for my pain. It seemed like she was rushed and my pain isn't as bad as the person next doors, so she just got the job done.

UofU Patient
September 13, 2015
I didn't feel like Dr. Hansen was in a rush and she listened to my concerns.

UofU Patient
September 03, 2015
Exceptional care. I especially liked how Dr. Hansen asked: "so how can I help you today?" The way she phrased the question, in the context of her history-taking and physical exam, made me feel listened to.

UofU Patient
August 30, 2015
The good thing about Dr. Hansen is that I trust her decisions concerning my health.

UofU Patient
August 07, 2015
Without doubt, the best experience I have ever had with an orthopedic doctor! And I have had a lot of experiences.

UofU Patient
July 25, 2015
Dr Hansen has been wonderful.

UofU Patient
July 10, 2015
felt a little awkward, maybe because of me (fed up with being in pain), maybe because of the resident (felt like a checklist and not necessarily listening--but I get it), or maybe the provider (felt like been there, done that).

UofU Patient
July 10, 2015
Dr. Hansen, is wonderful and is very committed to helping me find relief with my back pain.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
May 11, 2015
I've had this neck problem for years. unfortunate that it had to flare so severely during my stay here. Dr. Hansen is the first Dr. to X-ray, show me the results, and explain to me what is going on. I feel like I may actually get this problem solved!! She's fabulous!!

UofU Patient
May 09, 2015
Dr. Hansen is very approachable and caring. She was very understanding of my concerns.

UofU Patient
May 02, 2015
Every time I started to as a question or speak to her about what was going on, and all she seemed to keep keying on is my weight, and I already know that. But she never took the time to listen to me, or let me talk to her about how the condition was affecting me. If I go back, it will it be with Dr. Hansen.

UofU Patient
April 28, 2015
I enjoyed the visit with Dr. Hansen and also the resident who performed most of the exam.

UofU Patient
April 13, 2015
Would have liked a more specific timeline about healing and returning to activities.

UofU Patient
April 12, 2015
I felt like my Dr. didn't really listen to my concerns. I am a two time cancer survivor and I felt like my Dr. just brushed off my questions and concerns. I felt like my appointment was a waste of my time.

UofU Patient
April 08, 2015
I really like Dr. Hanson...I would refer her to others.

UofU Patient
February 28, 2015
I was very pleased with my appointment. I'm happy with my decision.I have confidence in DR Hansons knowledge and ability to give me the shots. Thanh you.

I was very satisfied with my visit with Dr. Hanson. She was professional, clear and timely. I have been to this same clinic (diff provider) in the past with very long waits and less satisfied with care.

UofU Patient
January 22, 2015
she is a very caring Doctor

UofU Patient
January 21, 2015
I was so impressed with the way she explained my condition to me. It made it easy for me to understand the issues and I also felt she was very knowledgeble about the information she was giving me..

December 27, 2014
no medications

UofU Patient
December 19, 2014
Because my prob is for the neck Dr Hansen did no tell me that I had to see a neck dr for the injections she recommended. Think that should have been addressed right away instead of several visits later

UofU Patient
December 05, 2014
Dr Hansen has always been upfront with my medical problems. She is very thoughtful.

UofU Patient
December 02, 2014
Dr. Hansen was great. She listened to my concerns and ideas about my situation and confirmed my diagnosis. I had seen a previous provider for this same concern and my visit with her left my feeling reassured and more confident about my situation where in the other provider left me feeling worried and unsure. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Hansen to anyone and would confidently return to see her if necessary.

UofU Patient
November 28, 2014
I have recommended Dr. P Hansen to several friends. she is an excellent doctor and a very approachable physician when a patient has questions.

UofU Patient
November 24, 2014
Dr. Hansen listens and understands my concerns. I was not not hesitant to tell her the other ailments that i feel confidential because, I could see that she has compassion and concern. She went through my previous procedure which I totally forgot (X-ray) that concerns about my current treatment, she is very efficient.

UofU Patient
November 20, 2014
Both Dr. Cushman and Dr. Hansen were approachable and thorough.

UofU Patient
October 31, 2014
Dr. Hansen is a wonderful physician. She listens to your concerns and offers suggestions while explaining options. She is patient, and cares about the whole patient, not just the portion of the body she is treating. I trust her judgment and skills completely.

UofU Patient

Definately

UofU Patient
October 19, 2014
Dr. Hansen has helped heal not only my body but also my mind. I appreciated her reassurance and care. I noticed that after I left I felt much stronger within my mind (Previously, I had felt quite fragile), I left feeling like I could overcome the pain and get strong again. She sent me physical therapy and that was also a positive experience for me.

UofU Patient
October 16, 2014
Dr. Hansen spent time with me explaining my medications. It helped out tremendously in my understanding of my options.

I was a little confused abt sling- Dr Hansen initially told me I'd be in a sling for elbow fracture and medical assistant told me slings aren't used on elbows...I was put in splint. Ultimately, Dr Hansen did the right thing, including referring me to hand and arm orthopedic surgeons and I'm grateful for her care. Loved the medical assistant.

UofU Patient
August 21, 2014
Dr. Hansen is very engaging, thorough and knows her stuff! I have enjoyed the opportunity to partner with her in my healthcare.

UofU Patient
June 12, 2014
I have seen Dr Hansen on several occasions. I have referred her to many others based on my experience. She is thoughtful, considerate and communicates very effectively. Though I have seen other physicians for other treatment, Dr. Hansen is my choice for my spine treatment.

UofU Patient
June 06, 2014
dr. Hansen showed concern and caring for my on-going problem as well as new symptoms. she talks with me, not to me. makes sure I understand treatment options. she's great!

UofU Patient
May 26, 2014
My physician was awesome! She listened to my other health/medical concerns even when it didn't pertain to her specialty and gave recommendations. She explained what we were looking at on my x-rays and also showed understanding with my concern for the prescription that was given.

UofU Patient
May 22, 2014
Dr. Duncan was awesome and so was Dr. Hansen. I was so glad to be able to spend some time with them. They were so professional and so understanding of my situation and gave me guidance that will help me to improve my condition. They were an A++, both of them.

April 27, 2014
I just feel like I am a burden to my Dr. she was 10 to 15 minutes late coming in,then she asked me a few questions and that was it. Did not examine me had me walk on my toes back and forth. She said see you in 8 wks that was it

UofU Patient
April 25, 2014
I was referred to PT, given exercises and a molded heel cup. I had one visit with a follow up scheduled in 2 weeks. I think more frequent follow-up with PT would be beneficial and will request that at my next visit.

UofU Patient
April 19, 2014
I was disappointed with my visit. Dr. Hansen has always been really nice but this day I felt that she just didn't care about my problem. I know we all have bad days, however, that doesn't help my pain go away! She just didn't seem all that concerned about my problem.

UofU Patient
April 11, 2014
It would be nice to know if the provider received the Xrays from the PCP and what her interpretation of the Xrays was.

UofU Patient
March 20, 2014
Dr. Hanson was awesome! Very informative and helpful. I also really appreciated the care that Dr. Wilson (resident) provided. She was very helpful in answering all of my questions and giving me tips on how to manage my pain without medication. Her patient care and quality is fantastic!

So far I'm very impressed with Dr. Hansen.

UofU Patient
January 08, 2014
I left my visit feeling extremely discouraged. I have not been given a diagnosis after several visits and did not feel that my concerns and questions were properly addressed. I feel that I was not taken seriously and that there was not much effort put forth to help diagnose and resolve a chronic pain issue that I have been having for over a year.

UofU Patient
January 06, 2014
I am looking forward to having someone I feel will listen to me as I work to help my body be better

UofU Patient
October 01, 2013
Dr. Hansen is an excellent doctor. She gets an A+ for empathy, correct diagnosis and treatment and doing all things necessary for a positive outcome for the patient. She has an excellent staff in the clinic and a procedure was scheduled efficiently and correctly.

UofU Patient
September 30, 2013
She took spent less than 5 minutes with me addressing my concerns.

UofU Patient
September 23, 2013
It was apparent that Dr Hansen was very busy the day the day of my visit. I was impressed that she did spend a considerable amount of time with me.

UofU Patient
September 02, 2013
I HAVE ONLY HAD TWO VISITS WITH THE CARE PROVIDER. THE FIRST VISIT SHE SEEMED A LITTLE MORE RUSHED BUT DID ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS. THE SECOND VISIT SHE WAS MORE RELAXED AND AGAIN ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS AND INCLUDED ME IN DECISION MAKING. SHE SEEMED WARM AND CARING.

UofU Patient
August 13, 2013
After I left from my appointment I thought I understood the problem, but then I realized much more information could have been shared regarding my issue. I had to learn more via internet (google) than the doctor.

UofU Patient
August 06, 2013
Dr. Hansen spent only about three minutes in the room with me. She decided an injection was best and when I asked a question she told her resident to explain it to me and left the room. She did not examine me or answer my questions. I would have liked to talk about why my problem developed and how to best discover why it happened along with how to keep it from happening to other locations in my spine, but did not have an opportunity. While I understand that she was having a particularly stressful day with a patient needing to be admitted to the hospital I was very unhappy with her lack of concern for my appointment. I scheduled my injection with another doctor and will follow up with another doctor.

very rushed, sort of belittled my concerns and pain. funny....two days later the ENT dr said i HAD problems stemming from my NECK, which Hanson brushed of as ''knots in my muscles''

Dr. Hansen let me participate in my own care. I felt she listened and we worked together on the best possible treatment.

I was worked in for this appointment because my doctor was out of town and Dr. Hansen took the time to explain what was going on, make suggestions, and give me a treatment plan. Exceptional doctor and very helpful.

I was very disappointed in my care. I was referred to this Dr. by Dr. Powell a very considerate doctor. I came to have some questions answered about my back pain and try to set up a program to improve my conditions. Basically I was told the same that Dr. Powell the referring physician told me. However, not much was explained to me as to the reason of my condition, if it will improve or worsen with time or ask many questions about my condition. The doctor spoke to the physicians assistant than she did me. She told me I needed to walk more and that people my age all have aches and pains. I told her I tried to be as active as I can.. I walk and ride my bike over 8 miles every day. I hike in the Wasatch mountains 5-7 hours every weekend. I guess I need to walk more. ... Overall I was not pleased with how the doctor talked down to me. I will not recommend her to anyone I love or know.

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.

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.

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.

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.
