She is the best. My surgery recovery was easier than my recovery from the biopsies or the MRI. So knowledgeable & able to breakdown test results so anyone can understand them. She never seems rushed. My case is her priority when she is with me.

I first met Dr Hansen at NW Community Hospital in Arlington Heights in March 2020 when I was diagnosed with [ ] cancer. I have had to have check ups every 6 months since that time. I decided to continue these check ups with Dr Hansen there at Northwestern in Geneva. I have found Dr Hansen personable, professional (very thorough :each visit reviewing my health since 2020, taking note of current issues) all with a very pleasant demeanor.

Very straight forward asked if I had concerns regarding treatments. I know that imaging is still required and may change the diagnosis but feel confident that the doctor and her team will keep me informed
