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.

Great experience! Wonderful doctor!

"Emergency" Cauterization
Agh! I have had small nosebleeds for years but yesterday's was definitely different! My nose was bleeding profusely-for several hours and truly thought I would pass out. We went straight to Dr. Hansborough's office (without an appointment!) . Most caring young nurse who gave me excellent immediate care until Dr. Hansborough came in. I was truly " a mess" -bleeding, panicking, with a violet headache. He began working calmly and so precisely to cauterize the vessel- Praise the Lord! He and his nurse stayed with me to make sure it "held",went over in detail with me the procedure and what to look for, and have me come in for followup (and to remove this packing!) on Monday. Took time out of his busy day to follow up with a call today. Wow! So professional, kind and thorough! Thank you!

Follow up from a recent employer ear screening. Showed an asymmetrical shift in the left ear. I follow up with Dr. Hansbrough and was relieved that the hearing loss was symmetrical. High frequency lost is not uncommon when you get older. I felt confident that no permanent damage caused just aging. Please remember to wear hearing protection for any activities that involves loud noises especially for a long period of duration.
