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.

So glad that Dr. Hagen was recommended to me.
Dr. Hagen and her staff were professional, caring, and compassionate. She was straight forward presenting me with my options, and followed up with me personally following surgery to check on how I was doing. I had a bilateral mastectomy, and literally was back on my feet in 2 days with very little to no pain. I would definitely recommend her to my friends & family, and I am happy that she was recommended to me.

Dr. Hagen was just fantastic; she promptly called me with every new lab or other test result to explain everything; she was so relaxing pre- and post-surgery, and took time to explain everything. I felt so safe in her care! And she is delightful to be with! Thank you so much!

Dr. Hagen made me feel comfortable in a time when I was most scared after a breast cancer diagnosis. She explained the procedure I would need and took her time answering all my questions. As for the surgery and follow up I was very pleased with the communication from Dr. Hagan and her staff. The result of my surgery was favorable. I believe Dr. Hagen is a skilled and experienced surgeon who advocates for her patients. I am thankful to have met Dr. Hagan and to have been treated in her care.

Dr. Hagen and her team are wonderful. Their level of care, concern and proficiency is exemplary. I'm unaccustomed to this caliber of medical care. Navigating health care is dismal these days, but they give me hope for our broken system. Bravo.

Dr. Hagen brings back humanity to surgery. She is patient, straight and has empathy. She also did a great job with my surgery. I would strongly recommend her.

Dr. Hagen’s calm demeanor, clear and concise explanations, and evident knowledge combined with her warmth and compassion put me and my family at ease (as much as one can be) during my Emergency Room visit and, subsequently, her performing my appendectomy.

Excellent surgeon. I recently had a bilateral mastectomy and she came recommended by a surgeon I had previously worked for. She is very caring and attentive. Answered all my questions and always makes herself available by email, for additional questions. Always answered my emails within the day. I would highly recommend her.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Hagen. After my double mastectomy and the long ordeal and aftermath, I forgot to write a review. I highly recommend Dr. Hagen. She is a thoughtful and sensitive person. You will feel confident, secure and most assuredly safe in her hands.

Dr. Hagen is caring, friendly and easy to talk to. I felt that I could trust her advice and suggestions regarding surgery and she was open to any questions and concerns I had, answering clearly and concisely and in a manner that made sense. She even called me while she was away on vacation to tell me my test results! Crazy! While I certainly would not expect this from a doctor, it was above and beyond and I was grateful for it. My surgery went well, recovery great and the incision clean.
