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.

I was very disappointed about my visit with Dr Hansen yesterday. He had walked into my room and said 2 sentences about my condition and started leaving the room. I had asked 3-4 questions about my condition for which he felt like he’s burdened and just provided short answers and left. All through out my appointment, he was in a hurry, I was not sure if he’s behind on the day! I felt like I wasted my time and money by visiting Dr Hansen.

Great first visit
This was a first visit for me to get a second opinion on whether I need a hip replacement. Dr Hansen spent quality time with me answering my questions and gained my trust. I have confidence in any care plan he recommends and that is a nice feeling.

Job well done.
Dr Hansen has cleaned up both knees from meniscus tears and did a wonderful job. I also get shots in my knees as needed due to osteoarthritis. He does a wonderful job and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. I highly recommed him.

Full Hip replacement
I had a full left hip replacement that was an extremely positive life changing experience. Dr. Hansen has a very straight forward, honest, professional approach. He answered all my questions about the procedure and any other options. I had lived with so much pain for a couple years and 3 days after surgery I felt like a new person.

Just excellent care and truly outstanding surgery. I was walking without a cane in 2 days and very little post-op pain. Thank you TCO Team and especially Dr. Hansen who explained the procedure in layman's terms, and proved a true master in his field. If you are having hip pain and need a replacement Dr. Hansen is who to see. No need to go across the mountains as the very best is at TCO.

Everyone was wonderful I can’t say a bad thing at all. The care I received was phenomenal. Kimberly, Melissa, Brody and Susan took great care of me. Even the anesthesiologist checked on me when I was walking the hallways and asked how I was doing. I have never had this level of care before thank you, thank you, thank you.

I would recommend Dr. Hansen to anyone! I had hip pain for years. After waiting to be scheduled for surgery EVERYTHING went as planned. The personnel in his office are amazing. Lourdes Hospital staff is so kind and accommodating. I am home with little or no pain and tomorrow with be the start of my second week since surgery! Dr. Hansen is the leader of a fantastic team.
