Always available to answer questions or concerns. Will highly recommend to anyone needing this type of surgery. We hope he stays in the Killeen area for a very long time. Thank you Dr Hansen.

    Israel Rodriguez

  • Dr. Hansen performed shoulder arthroscopy surgery on my 13 year old daughter. He did a wonderful job. My daughter was thrilled that the scarring is minimal, and that after physical therapy she'll be able to participate in sports. Dr. Hansen was professional and explained everything in detail. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone needing these types of surgeries.

Not only did Dr. Hansen patch me back together again but he and his whole team have always cared for me and my husband like I feel they would care for their own family members. Glad I ended up in his office!
