He explained everything well as to what was going on with my hand. Made sense. Didn't over treat which made me feel good. I would recommend him.

January 19, 2015Faith G.Verified patient
Dr. Hanker and the entire SCOI facility was a really great, easy experience. They know exactly what they're doing and where to send you at any moment. I filled out a lot of paperwork before arrival, which led them to realize I needed an X-ray of my wrist. I thought I'd have to make another appointment or go somewhere else, but within 15 minutes my X-ray was complete! He was really careful to explain things in normal English instead of Doctor's jargon, and walk me through all possible treatment solutions. Once we decided what to do, he did it right there in the office, again in under 15 minutes! Overall great experience and I'll go back to Dr. Hanker and SCOI for all future orthopedic needs.

Dr. Hanker has always taken a down- to-earth attitude with me. He is easy to talk to, and effectively communicates the problem in a manner that is easy to understand. Dr. Hanker has a great sense of humor and uses colorful adjectives to describe what's going on with my hand.

Dr. Hanker is the BEST wrist doc in town. He knows wrist anatomy extremely well, which allows him to inject cortisone exactly where it's needed. Within days, I've been pain free with full movement of the joint. He's also got a wonderful personality, doesn't rush, and takes the time to explain all options for healing, including non-surgical.
