It's been a couple months out and I'm doing great. It was the right decision to go with Dr. Hanson and he and his team are the best. I would recommend him to anyone, thanks again!

Dr. Hanson has been amazing! He and Jackie have been super responsive and helpful. I was in an excruciating level of pain from a C5-C6 disc extrusion. With some right arm weakness and numbness through my right thumb, I was fairly desperate to gather a number of opinions and make some quick decisions about the best course of care and receive some pain relief. He went out of his way to help me upload my MRI images and reviewed them in detail with me. He clearly explained my options and what he recommended as a course of action. The referrals were made and I was able to schedule my non-surgical treatment. I really appreciate his experience and opinions, and really felt that his recommendations were in my best interest, regardless of the business it generated for him. I can't recommend him highly enough and if I end up needing surgery I will continue to work with Dr. Hanson. Thank you!

I had spine surgery in October 2019 with Dr. Daniel Hanson, when I went to Dr. Hanson i was in excruciating pain from multiple herniated discs. After he performed surgery, I felt back to normal. The level of professionalism, care, kindness, and compassion from Dr. Hanson and all of his staff were awesome. In my opinion this is the best spine clinic on earth.

Ok, this is the first review I’ve ever done. Dr. Hanson has really truly given me my life back! Five years ago I got hurt at work in a bad situation. Over five years I had received 33 injections, 4 rf burns, countless chiropractic therapists, 14 total weeks of intense physical therapy, core strengthening exercises every morning and night just to have things go out of whack and out of work for a month at a time. I couldn’t go two hours without wearing a back brace to relieve the pain and go on with daily activities. I was facing the fact that I’d have to stop riding my horse, stop doing anything that remotely resembles fun. I sat on the sidelines and watched. There was a serious level of depression going on. I was sent to see Dr. Hanson and he looked at my past MRI images and he had a game plan, something other surgeons said there’s nothing they can do, and I was super skeptical since 4 surgeons said there are no fixes for my condition. Dr. Hanson did a bilateral transaction on L3/4, L4/5, and L5 S1. I’m 3 1/2 weeks after surgery and I haven’t used a back brace once, don’t need a pain pill to sleep. I’m riding my horse now in a competition cattle sorting league without additional pain. I only have some muscle tenderness as I am building core muscle that hasn’t had to work an entire day without a brace in 4+ years. Thank you, Dr. Hanson, Jackie, Melina, and all the awesome people that helped me give me a second shot at life. I cannot thank you all enough!!

I met Dr. Dan Hanson a couple of years ago when I moved to Minnesota from the west coast. He is hands down the most passionate spine surgeon/specialist I’ve ever met. His level of knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of spine disorders is second to none. He utilizes cutting edge, minimally invasive procedures to help his patients recover from pain and dysfunction quickly and permanently. Dr. Hanson has successfully treated a number of my patients for their spinal injuries/conditions and the feedback is nothing but positive and appreciative of everyone. He makes himself available for his patients and always follows up with each and every one of them in a timely manner. I’m thankful that I have Dr. Hanson offers his expert opinion with difficult spine cases and I’m confident my patients receive only the best care when I refer them to the Minnesota Spine Institute.

If you're ever having neck or spine pain, Dr. Dan Hanson is who you want to call. Everyone is extremely friendly and always has the patients best interest in mind.

I suffered a herniated disc and was in extreme pain for months. I could barely stand or walk without suffering. Dr. Dan Hanson performed my endoscopic microdiscectomy surgery two days ago and I am feeling great! I have my life back. Dr. Hanson was helpful and offered me a good solution when I felt other medical professionals had let me down/failed to offer a good option. Dr. Hanson was able to perform a less invasive version of the surgery than the other doctors I saw and talked to. This allowed me to have a quicker recovery and a brighter outlook. As if this isn’t enough of a reason to go through Dr. Hanson, his office manager Jackie was amazing! My insurance almost caused me to have my surgery delayed and initially denied my precertification. Jackie went to bat for me and helped me to get it approved! I am sure she had lots of other work to do, but took the time to ensure I got relief! Thanks!
