Dr. Hanson is an exceptional physician and human. She is clearly both knowledgable and compassionate and listened carefully to my descriptions of my back pain and what I thought might be going on. We reviewed my recent MRI, and she took care to explain what it showed - including that there was no obvious spinal disc degradation in the section of my spine that would most likely cause the chronic pain I experience in my middle back just to the right of my spine. We talked about possible alternative sources of pain including a muscular tear or a kidney stone. She also helped me understand how this specific issue should be viewed in the overall context of my age (75) and other ailments (including Parkinson's disease). We agreed that I will continue doing physical therapy exercises, see a PT at 2-3 week intervals to help identify the PT exercises most helpful to me, and touch bases with my urologist, nephrologist, and endocrinologist to rule out or confirm the presence of a kidney stone.
Both Dr. Hansen and Marilou Oh, Physician Assistance did a very good work in diagnosing my problem and in explaining to me what was the problem. Marilou took the time to show me in an X-ray the origin of the pain and very patiently gave me a full picture about it. Marilou also discuss treatment options and physical therapy needs. Thanks to both.

Thank you so much for your expertise and kindness
Very professional, knowledgeable, personable. There was another doctor that assisted who was very good as well, but I dont remember his name.
She is an excellent doctor
I mostly saw Dr. Hansen's PA, Marilou Oh. In short, I felt like she interrupted my statements frequently throughout the visit. Perhaps I talk too much. I also was not initially clear about the after care plan and had to ask follow up questions. I guess that's ok but after all the interruptions my comfort level with PA Oh was lessened. I also felt like the new medication prescribed was missing, what I believed was, vital information such as the frequency to take it and again had to reach out for more clarification. In fact, I ended up taking too many doses the first day because I did not know. No side effects that I'm aware of thankfully. I do believe the after care plan we decided was agreeable and I felt like I was empowered during that process. I could also hear from inside my room the staff discussing my situation with Dr. Hansen in the hallway which made me feel uneasy whether they were relaying the information correctly. Rating above is specific to Dr. Hansen.
Dr. Hansen is compassionate and takes the time to answer questions and suggest options for my care.
Dr. Hanson was so kind and helpful during this procedure. She answered all my questions and helped me feel at ease during the procedure.
Good listener, explained well, dealt with the whole patient, not just a few discs.
Dr. Hansen is an excellent Dr. She is very concerned about my well being.
Very good
Dr Hansen is excellent and highly skilled. I trust her completely. The Intern was excellent. His treatment skills were exceptional and he was very personable.
My main concern is that my appointments are made to see doctor but usually seen by the PA ?
Dr. Hansen is very understanding of pain I have had for a long period of time, She is kind and compassionate, She always listens and let me have a say on my care. I can always trust her in my care. One of my best and favorite doctors. I would recommend her to anyone.
I live 2and a half hours from the Orthopedic clinic and. I would travel even further to receive the care and concern the staff provides me.
Dr. Hanson is such an outstanding part of University of Utah service group. I talk about her to all I meet with back or other Orthopaedic issues. She is like family to my wife and me.
I seen Eric PA and he is so through in explain my shoulder & arm pain, I am very grateful that he works with Dr, Pamela Hansen, I have seen Dr, Hansen for past 6 years and she is a great provider and has given me excellent care.

She listens and give you options and together we can come to a conclusion of my care. Not only is Dr, Hansen is a awesome provider she treats you like a friend. I would recommend her to anyone as she is an excellent provider.
I was given a lot of instructions about what to do (OTC meds to take and how often, self-care, and more,) and I asked if this would be provided to me on MyChart. It wasn't so all I remember is how much tylenol to take. This disappointed me. I would have written everything down had I known it wouldn't be listed in MyChart.
She put me at ease within 5 minutes of being in the room. She gave me options and hope. Your crew is a blessing
Absolutely one of my best doctors and trusted by my wife and me for our care.
Always personable, knowledgeable, thorough and professional. Great listener.
Dr Hansen is awesome, she is very professional and works/listens well to help with the situation to get the best results for me.
Dr. Hansen is very thorough in explaining everything. Felt confident in her recommendations.
It was a very good experience. She went through all my options with me and listened to every concern I had.
I was initially concerned as Dr. Hansen said she reviewed so many MRI's over the weekend, I didn't feel she recalled mine specifically. But, then on reviewing it, it appeared she keyed in and provided responses appropriately. There is so much orthopedic jargon in the lab report/findings that I was alarmed at the possibilities of my condition. Dr. Hansen set those fears aside.
This was my 1st time seeing PA Eric, I thought he was super nice, answered all of my questions and his bedside manner was phenomenal. Much better than the visits with the previous PA that Dr Pamela had.
Dr Hansen is a saint. She went above and beyond to make sure I was going to be seen by surgery team. She got me an appointment on Wednesday. The treatment she provides me is beyond excellent. I trust her completely.
Never saw or talked with Dr. Hansen who I had an appointment; but saw a PAC.
Dr. Hansen and her staff are amazing. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and is sympathetic. She has been very proactive in treating my issues.
Dr Hansen's clinic personnel are the very best. Very polite and engaging. Dr Hansen is the very best doctor I have ever seen. She has helped me attain my goals for a productive life. I am very grateful for her help and understanding me .
Dr Hansen is very compassionate and I have total trust in her and the recommendation she makes for treatment I can't imagine another doctor caring for me.
Dr. Hansen spent a great deal of time with me. She answered all my questions and asked me if I needed anything specific from her or a specific treatment. She was forthright in discussing my condition and providing treatment options. I really liked her!
Dr. Hansen shows great compassion and concern for my chronic pain. I also appreciate that she thoroughly explains all the treatment options available, and that she leans toward the most conservative approach (as do I) but I feel she will fully support my decision.
Very good appointment and she really listened to my concerns.
DE. P. HANSON is an excellent doctor and is one of my most trusted doctors. She is always compassionate and takes time to listen and provides me good advice with my issue and also with self care.
I really like that Dr. Hansen listens to what her patient is saying. She listens with intention and Is open to doing things differently If It works for the patient and will not cause harm.
Eric Leach is an incredible provider. For only my third visit with him I could believe he remember me and my problems. He is such a compassionate and caring provider. He lets you decide on decision of your care. Thank you Eric for your kindness.
Great team and they were easy to ask questions about expected outcome. The Team is respectful and seem comfortable with Dr. Pam Hansen as the lead.
I trust Dr Hansen completely
The doctor spent a lot of time with me. She explained my problem with a spine.model
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Hansen, excellent care and takes the time to explain plan of care.
Dr. Hansen is a gem. I really think that has more medical doctors were as she is, the medical system would be far better. I highly recommend her for care.
What more can I say about Dr. Pam Hansen. I completely trust anything she says or recommends. I feel very fortunate to have her caring for me..
Dr didn't know who she was seeing or for what
Eric Leach,PA seen him for first time and he was exceptional great. He explained my shoulder condition and gave me an opinion for the injection. As there was two problems with my shoulder and he went over the x-rays what it meant on the images. I would recommend him as Dr. Hansen's PA.
Dr. Hansen is always concern abouyt my care. I was seeing her for a shoulder pain and she included me on what was the next step. Since i also had a spinal fusion she was concern about my recovery and suggested what i could do for the post op pain. She has been a great provider.
they do not rush you through. they take all the time you want to explain everything and answer all your questions
I think Dr. Hnsen really listened and heard me! Feel like I may finally get some help to deal with my incredible pain.
We had a very good conversation. We talked about the medication's I had and would be taking and they were explained to me. How often I could take them how much I could use them etc. I felt that I left knowing my prescriptions better than when I can.
Dr. Hansen and her Resident took time to review and manage the treatment of my arthritis. I have been under the care Dr. Hansen for a span of many years now . I hope Dr. Hansen never leaves, she is pleasant, kind and seems to genuinely care about her patients.
Dr. Hansen was great in explaining things and listening to me
I was confused when a PA walked into the room because I thought I was going to be seen by Dr. Hansen and not the PA. If the appointment is scheduled with the PA, that should be reflected in the MyChart appointment so the patient is aware. I had some specific questions that I wanted to talk to Dr. Hansen about because my prior experience with her PA wasn't great in this regard (she had difficulty answering my questions).
Dr Hansen was very empathic, clear with her explanations, and helped me make treatment decisions according to my comfort level.
As a patient you could not ask for more!
Extremely detailed discussion and explanation of issue and my options for treatment.. Very trustworthy feeling as a result of my visit.
great
great
Dr. Hansen explained throughly what what happening in my back and how the injections were working. I asked her for a recommendation for a knee specialist and told me she could help. This came to me with great relief. An X-ray was done on my knees and explanation was given and appointment for PT made. All this was done during the visit. She and her staff truly give extraordinary care. I have total trust in them.
Dr Hansen clarified my questions and concerns.
Dr. Hansen explained my MRI in great details. Since I had 3 issue with my back. I ask her how about a Radio Frequency procedure and she said it would only solve one of the issues. I like she let me ask questions and she tells you what is best. She always includes me in the decisions on my care. I also have a shoulder impingement and referred me to physical therapy instead of an injection. i trust in her care and would recommend her to anyone. Dr. Hansen is best provider for my health care.
they answered all of my questions. Thank you.
Dr Hansen is one of a kind. Extremely knowledgeable and very personable. She makes me feel at ease and I trust her completely. She has that quality that makes you feel at ease even though you are in extreme pain. I feel very fortunate to have her as my doctor. I just had steroid injections in my lower back that was completely painless.
This was my first visit with Dr.Hanson, she came highly recommended by a co-worker. I was absolutely delighted with the visit and her care. She recommended physical therapy, which I started today. The referral system for physical therapy were excellent to follow up and schedule right away. My entire experience was seamless. Thank you to Dr. Hanson and her professional team!
good
Dr. Hansen was very helpful, professional, caring and friendly.
Dr Hansen and I discussed the options of my chronic back pain there is a plan in place so I look forward to any suggestions she may have she is very compassionate and listens to your concerns I am very happy to have a great provider like her who listens and and lets you have a say in your care.
Pamela was very competent and caring.
The PA (Rosealee? - can't quite remember her name) was very thorough and thoughtful. Dr. Hansen was great at listening to my concerns and involving me in my treatment.
It would have been helpful to have some discussion about the possible diagnoses for my arm pain but that was not discussed. Rather I was encouraged to go to PT and massage etc but without any real context for understanding what could be going on with my arms and the causes of the pain.
very helpful
Dr. Hansen listened and helped translate my symptoms with exceptional care and thoroughly explained her interpretation and likely causes. Overall I had a very encouraging and informational appointment with Dr. Hansen.
went well
Dr. Hansen is extremely sensitive to my symptoms and concerns. Very through in her explanation of the MRI and what options there are for treatment. I completely trust her recommendations and she has the rare ability to make me feel at ease and reduces any anxiety. I left my appointment feeling upbeat and happy. I can not say enough good things about her.
Dr. Hansen was very helpful. She explained everything (tests) and possible treatments. She is competent and I also felt that she listened to me explaining all my symptoms.
Dr. Hansen really cares about my back issues. She listens to your concerns and always include me in the decision of my care. She is very empathetic and compassionate of the pain I am going through. She is a great provider and would highly recommend her to anyone. She has been my rehab provider for 6 years and hope she never leaves the Orthopedic Center.
Dr. Hansen is amazing! She is the best care provider who I have ever had in my life and she truly shows empathy with my situation and she makes excellent recommendations to improve my overall health and wellness.
