Dr. Angela Hanson was fantastic! So patient, clear and helpful.

Provider interrupts often, and at times does not seem to really be listening to what is asked. She does not use time well, and gives long explanations for simple questions.

Dr. Hanson is very thorough and helpful. It is not surprising that her schedule is exceedingly tight for the care she gives.

Provider listened poorly and interrupted frequently. She seemed irritated by my questions. She spent a fair amount of time telling me what she couldn't do, which wasn't really what I was asking her to do. We seemed to be on completely different pages about treatment direction/options, even though I felt like I have clearly communicated each time we have met what I want from her expertise. My experience/impression from this appointment was very different from when we first met. Perhaps it was because she was way behind schedule and was stressed. However, the experience was very off-putting.

Dr. Hanson was efficient and knowledgeable. She was friendly and engaging. We were a bit rushed at the end of the appointment. Wish we could've had a deeper conversation about treatment options.
