Patient Testimonials & Reviews

Dr. Hansen's expertise, professionalism, and dedication to patient care is exceptional. My family and I (all Dr. Hansen's patients) are so grateful to be under her care. From a comprehensive initial evaluation, thorough hygienic visits and state of the art dental care (customized crowns made on site!), we are very pleased with the care we receive. The staff is very welcoming, knowledgeable, and trained very well. Dr. Hansen's dedication to quality and optimal patient care is superb. We have had several dental emergencies in the last year and Dr. Hansen has gone above and beyond to help us get thru them safely and with the best outcome possible. Thank you Dr. Hansen! We are so lucky to have you! The Lazarov family

After not seeing a dentist for several years, my teeth needed a lot of work. Dr. Hansen pointed out the most critical areas, presenting options for the remainder. Never had a prior dentist been as concerned for the long term health of my teeth. Dr. Hansen planned treatments in order of importance, and completed all within a year. The highly competent staff set up appointments for me when an outside specialist was required—and their work is highly commendable as well. Every member of the staff is courteous, gentle, supportive, and knowledgeable. They did an excellent job of explaining care and prevention of my teeth and gums. I was shocked at how little I knew about dental care before I went to Dr. Hansen. Now I have healthy, beautiful teeth that I know how to take care of!

I have a fear of doctors and this entire staff went above and beyond to reassure/comfort me. They validated my experience, feelings, and concerns. Norma modified the schedule to assure I was seen in a timely manner. Before my visit Christine emailed me several time checking and re-checking my feeling on coming to confirm I would be greeted and treated in the unique way for my comfort. At first I was reluctant to answer the questions truthfully (I did not want to seem needy) but eventually I did in detail. Something that stood out to be the most was: they rearranged the staff to all female because i mentioned a fear of male professionals.They took their COVID-19 precautions seriously. Meme met my outside to go over a few things and walk me to my room.
