He doesn't mess around. I found his straight forwardness refreshing and I liked it. Got all the wisdom teeth ot during pandemic quickly and cleanly.

Dr. Hanson was sweet and personable when talking about basically sawing into my bone and potentially grazing a nerve to extract my tooth. I felt comfortable at my consultation

Dr. Hanson was very pleasant and straightforward. He explained his thinking and rationale. I would highly recommend him.
Verified patient
He took a look at me for 2 seconds and then told me I need to see a more professional doctor. Seriously?
Verified patient
Went in for a consultation. Dr. Hanson is straight to the point, no extra chitchat.

I was surprised that I was immediately taken to do an X-ray without being seeing by the doctor first, then the room where the doctor saw me was really empty and awkward. He was friendly, but barely looked at my issue, focusing on the extraction of my wisdom teeth rather than the inflammation that is ongoing due to pericoronitis. I had to beg for a prescription for antibiotics, telling that my ears ache, it's been a week, it spread to another tooth, but no calming words or any explanation were given. All he discussed was the extraction, seemed rushed and unwilling to be helpful.

I had Dr. Greene as my surgeon and consulted me on my wisdom teeth. He was the nicest man I have encountered with. His bedside manner was excellent and caring and made me feel confident in his hands about the surgery. Post surgery was great. He also called me later in the evening of the surgery to check on me and see how I was healing. Hands down best experience.
Verified patient
This was my first oral surgery experience. Everyone in the office was really nice and they were very good at scheduling a check-in with me.
Verified patient
I went to Dr Hanson to get my wisdom teeth extracted. I scheduled my appointment online without a reference which was a very nice convenience. When I arrived to the building I was confused as to how they could possibly fit anything in it let alone a surgery facility but it turns out the place is actually gigantic. The lobby was beautiful and very welcoming and the staff was absolutely wonderful. Everyone made me feel really comfortable and they were all extremely helpful. My wait was exceptionally long but it might have been because I was a new patient. When I finally met Dr Hanson he was just all about business. If you are looking for a warm friendly doctor to make you feel at home and comfortable with your face being ripped apart I would find someone else. I on the other hand appreciate getting it done and over with and moving on with my life. He came in and told me the procedure wouldn't be hard and then left. He came back much later, put me to sleep and that's the last I saw of Dr Hanson.
