Dr Hansen knew exactly what was wrong with my foot, gave me a shot in the foot and exercises to do to relieve the pain and strengthen the tendon. He's very kind and caring; so are the people in his office. 3 months later, still no pain. Shot worked and exercises worked.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After three previous ankle surgeries and years of dealing with chronic ankle pain, finding the right doctor has been incredibly important to me. Dr. Austin Hansen is now the fourth surgeon to work on my ankle, and for the first time in a long time, I feel a renewed sense of hope. Dr. Hansen is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping his patients. He takes the time to listen, explain his approach, and make you feel like you’re part of the process rather than just another patient. When you’ve been through multiple surgeries and continued pain, that level of care and attention means more than words can express. While my journey toward relief is still ongoing, I’m optimistic about what lies ahead and grateful to have Dr. Hansen in my corner. I’m hopeful that his expertise will finally help me find some lasting relief. And the icing on the cake? He’s a fellow Nebraska Cornhusker! 🌽❤️ As a Husker fan, that just makes me like him...

Finally a place where you don’t have to make 30/40 minutes after your appointment time to get seen. Everyone was exceptionally nice starting right from the moment you walk in. Dr Hansen was very soft spoken and very helpful with understanding what was happening. Special thank you to Sonya who was his assistant. She was kind, caring, and gentle and also knowledgeable when I had follow up questions I had forgotten to ask while the dr was in. Highly recommendable to come here if you are in need. 20 out of 10 rating if I could.
