Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I’ve been going to Dr Hankins for years. He has an excellent bed side manner and he explains in detail why you are having pain. He is a doctor that wants to help you improve your life while managing your pain. He has an excellent staff that share his great qualities also.

He is the only Doctor I have ever been to that listens to his patients. He understands that all people are different and react differently to pain. He does everything he can along with his Amazing nurse Practitioner Amanda, and his staff to ensure they care about your health. Dr. Hankins is a godly man with amazing faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ. If your looking for DRUGS, this is not your Doctor. He monitors your drug and alcohol usage for the safety of you and our society. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!

Robertsdale, AL – Jan 10, 2019

I knew that I liked Dr Hankins personality, but I didn’t know how much better the care is in Alabama than over a sister state, until my daughter brought me to her house for a few months and I visited a nurse practitioner, a pain doctor, a behavioral therapist doctor and a bone specialist. While I’m still waiting on a bone specialist opinion following an ordered bone DEXA scan, I can say that home is a great place to go back to. Our state isn’t wasting Medicare as badly as happens here. Thanks

I would trust him with my life. I just believe after he said I needed a pain pump and I saw 2 consults for this. He refused to see me mainly because my husbands employer would not pay the insurance company and went into litigation with MEDICARE! Which I did not know about until his boss gave him a copy of the paperwork and my spouse was dumb enough to give to me and I called the phone number and the other party asked where I received them and please destroy I said I will not! I did not know!

Till recent events of his clinic no longer treating patients that are "concurrent users" of medications, I was treated for my afflictions by Dr. Hankins. His patience, knowledge and professionalism in the treatment of Chronic Pain are of the highest standards. I thank him and his staff for greatly increasing the quality and quantity of my life.

Dr. Hankins and his staff (including the Physical Therapy staff) are professional and courteous. Dr. Hankins is a warm, caring and kind individual who with his medical degree has an awesome opportunity to help individuals with chronic pain, like myself. He listens to everything you have to say. He does not rush patients through the office. He has taught his staff to show kindness and patience and it shows. I would highly recommend Dr. Hankins to everyone I know.
