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.

Great doctor, will recommend to family and friends and co workers.

I received strong advice on what I should do and what I shouldn't do to maintain the integrity of the reconstruction of the bones in my leg.

Dr. Hanson listened to my concerns and did a thorough examination. After some discussion, he laid out some potential options for healing my ankle. This was not my first visit to Methodist Orthopedics, but it was my first time to visit Dr. Hanson.

Lots of experience with amazing results. He performed ankle replacement on my 80 year old ankle injured in the Vietnam War. Recovery went super great. Walking in no time with no pain.

I saw two other foot & ankle surgeons before Dr. Hanson, and he was the only one who figured out the problem was chronic instability.

I have been to several orthopedic doctors, but none exemplify the care, experience, bed side manor, and problem-solving techniques as Dr. Hanson does. He listens to my concerns and never hesitates to diagnose and treat my issue. He also works great with me since I live out of town. Highly recommend Dr.Travis Hanson!

Had mri's done on both feet and apparently it is just too much to ask for the results or what the doctor thinks. I don't think I am being unreasonable since it has been a month. I guess they pick and choose who they want to work with, and that is fine, but how about just come out and say so instead of leaving people hanging.

I would highly recommend Dr. Hanson. Had a broken ankle, had surgery and it went extremely well. Appointments are easy, not a long wait time and his office staff is great. He came highly recommended by my doctor at the medical center and luckily he was close to home. Would recommend him to anyone who had a similar problem.

I came to Dr Hanson for a second opinion... I have had foot pain for 18mos and was told I had a stress reaction that hasn't healed... Dr. Hanson felt it was some arthritis in my foot and not the stress reaction... He recommended I get a cortisone injection in the joint to calm the inflammation down.... I got the injection 2 days later and he was right! Finally pain free?? Thank you Dr. Hanson

care philosophy

Foot and ankle injuries can be very disruptive. I try to establish a treatment plan that not only yields the best, longterm results but also works with the lifestyle of my patient. I want to get them back to their activities with as little interruption
