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.

Dr. Hanwacker is a wonderful physician. He takes care of our whole family and is thorough, answers our questions, and doesn’t just place referrals or write prescriptions and rush us out. He really listens and tries to solve the problem and actually restore health. I wish more good doctors would provide primary care like him...so hard to find these days!

Dr Hanwacker is my Dr. as well as my two kids. He listens, asks questions, spends more time with them than any other Dr they have had. He provides referrals when he believes the condition warrants. If I have ever had a concern he talks with me about it as well as my kids when they ask questions.
