I needed to get in quickly and this office did exactly that! Savannah was awesome to work with getting me in to see Dr. Hanson! Dr. Hanson and his nurse Anna were just as awesome! Dr. Hanson took the time to let me explain what was going on and why I needed to get a diagnosis. He was very informative and explained my diagnosis. Anna was very helpful by providing a printout of my visit and her extension if I had more questions or if I needed anything else!
