Ronald Hanson's Online Review Report Card

This might be hard to believe; but… Dr Hanson’s lack of authenticity of real care or concern, his level of arrogance, infallibility and was unaware of basic medical surgical post-op complications. This led to a 4 month battle with my doctor. He insisted not to take my own doctors concerns (even saying he was wrong because he was the expert when it came to anything related to Inspire). He was so convincing and ‘certain’ he was right that my trust and belief in him…that I was very close to sepsis and 2 infectious disease specialists getting brought in by my doctor determining the injection was not a bad surface post-op injection; but a viral multiple staphylococcus infection of the actual implant (which any surgeon doing implants is on heighten alert). That delay led to my having to lose my entire “Inspire System (after it had treated my sleep apnea so well, that it took me out of heart failure). Now I’m without any treatment…staphylococcus is in my system. Without a heroic effort by my primary doctor, I have no doubt the misdiagnosed infection and arrogance of Dr Hanson, I very well would have died of sepsis. Dr Hanson should not be doing any implant surgeries.

I recently met with Dr. Hanson and felt he spent an appropriate amount of time with me, he answered my questions and his staff are quick to respond.

Dr. Hanson came into the treatment room in a hurry, saw me in a hurry and left in a hurry. I could tell he didn’t even look at any of the paperwork I filled out about my visit. He barely examined me or look for causes of my tinnitus except feel my jaw joint. He just wanted another test done and didn’t talk to me about any of my other symptoms or concerns or anything. I have been suffering and he acted like he could of cared less. They just have me a couple papers to read to figure out things to do for myself instead of discussing any gof them with me or other paths of treatment.

My wife had 2 sinus surgeries with him. He has taken very good care of her and always takes time at appts. We would highly recommend him.

Terrible bedside manor. Needs to study up on MdDS. Very rude and defensive. No apathy for patient whatsoever. Should not be in this type of business. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!! His assistants were also very rude. The lady at the desk that registered me in was actually the only nice person there. Their portal system does not work or cannot be accessed it is a complete joke. They need to hire somebody to create a website that actually works.

Terribly disengaged, no bedside manner, no proper follow up.

I fully agree with the person that gave the low review. I believe that the reviews are being filtered and are not a true reflection of what kind of a specialist he is and would not recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! My personal experience with Dr. Hanson is similar in that he did not care about the patient. Surgery performed by him left my face scarred from a melanoma removal and bruised throat that is causing me to undergo a swallow study to determine if legal action may in fact be appropriate. Dr. Hanson is so full of himself that the patient is the last thing taken into consideration. His attitude is all about himself and therefore his employment should be a permanent position in an unemployment line and not in a medical facility that appears to be run by himself!!!!!!!!!!!!

Far from cooperative or pleasant to deal with. Very rude and not concerned with patient treatment. No follow up after surgery! Would avoid at ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!

Was late, no explanations for anything, took him 5min to diagnose that my child needs a surgery, no interest in childs health history or our concerns. No good answers for any question we had.

Horrible bedside manner. He is a rude human being, doesn't matter if it's an infant, toddler or adult. Possibly messed up my daughter worse because he was in a rush and does not understand her condition. Before insurance, charge was over $700 for him being in the room maybe five minutes. We brought our daughter down to St. Paul for further appointments because I don't trust him as a human being. Didn't sanitize hands before digging in my daughter's mouth.
