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.

There was a little bit more of wait in the patient room than I would have liked, but the staff is always pleasant ant attentive. My regular Doc, Austin Hansen, was off for a few days, so I was seen by one of the new docs on staff. Was up to speed on what needed to be done - last of four rounds of injections. I wish I could remember her name! Regardless, she did a nice job.
