Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor
I had Kidney cancer and Dr. Hanson removed my kidney using robotics. He explained everything ahead of time and I felt comfortable about him and the procedure. He did an excellent job, and my recovery went really well. I would highly recommend him for any urology concerns.

Great doctor, great experience
I saw Dr Hanson for kidney stones. He explained that I needed surgery and which procedure with a diagram. He answered all my questions and put me at ease.

I have experienced kidney stones several times with 3 different doctors. Dr. Hanson is by far the best I have experienced. His bedside manner is calm and conversational and yet very educational. He cares about me as a patient.

Removed 3 kidney stones via laser, did a great job and was honest and communicated all options to me in advance along with risks. Very professional. As a person with chronic stones, Dr Hanson is far and away better than most of the Urologists I have been with.

Had a vasectomy performed June 2017. I admit, I was pretty nervous, but Dr. Hanson's friendly demeanor and casual conversation during the procedure made it quick and easy. It was the perfect balance of explaining what he's doing and maintaining a conversation to keep my mind off what's happening down below. I was very impressed.

Beware of this urologist. He's relatively young. He can read what he wants into a situation. Green Light Laser is his bread and butter.
