Dr. Hansen and his medical support staff provided top-notch medical care and handled my high-maintenance, anxious dog very well. Maxwell, the veterinary technician and medical assistant, did a great job administering IV sedation and put my dog to sleep in no time. I was impressed how Maxwell skillfully positioned the dog to perform all procedures. The doctor was able to do a quick check-up, and the nails were trimmed just as quickly. After administering the reversal medication, my dog bounced back right away. Usually, vets administer anesthesia in the muscle, and it takes hours to take effect. Nala and I feel very blessed to get it over with this appointment. Thank you so much for everything. read more

Dr Hansen was absolutely amazing ! He is a truly knowledgeable and highly competent doctor who can be entrusted with very difficult cases. For almost a year our cat Kaya has had on-going ear infections and though we have been taking her to our vet almost every two-three weeks (for months and months! )our general vet was completely un-able to help and after 9 months of struggles their suggested solution was euthanasia of our little girl. Enter Dr Bruce Hansen and... our little girl's perpetuate ear infection problems were quickly and competently resolved. Kaya is back to enjoying her life ! We are extremely grateful to Dr Hansen for his competence and care! read more

Greet customer service and they made Khandi comfortable which made me happy. . I would definitely recommend this place for your furry family! read more

The 5 stars go out to Brittany! She was amazing during my appointment. From start to finish, she was professional and amazing. She was patient with my very nervous pitty. She listened to my concerns about my girl and accommodated me. She didn't judge my dog because she had a bite history. At the end- she gave her treats and got a little tail wag! That is a FIRST for my furbaby!! They do warn you about the reception area being VERY small so be careful. It's kind of easy to get lost with three different doors- but they guide you. It was my first time there. The Veterinary assistants do ALL THE WORK( for what they charge- they better be getting good pay). Brittany came in and triage my girl. She gathered all her samples and went back to read all the samples. Saw the doctor for about 1 minute. No exam. Just a visual. Nice though. Then Brittany came back in with discharge paperwork. We opted a allergy test- so Brittany again came in a drew blood. She told me that the results will come in about 10 days and that an LVT will be calling me. VAs and LVTs are the rockstars in this department. I can't give the vet any stars because I didnt even deal with him. The downfall is they do not accept Care Credit. That is a BIG help to people that need that extra help with financing and budgeting. read more

was late for the appointment because I though it was a different time.It was my fault. I apologized the staff several time. She kept go on and on and on. She said that my cat can see the doctor today but I have to wait an hour and I cannot be with my cat in the room. If I want to be in the room with my cat, I have to be on time. I got it that I was late. She didn't have to keep on going in every conversation. I told her that I don't want to do that. I don't know how the Vet can treat my cat with out me there. My can could not talk. I want to reschedule. She did reschedule and told me that I cannot be late again. I was almost in tear. I felt like I just murder someone. I came home to find out that she called my husband and did the same thing. This conversation should be done in 5 minutes. I was late, I apologized then rescheduled. She didn't need to go on and on make me upset and felt bad. Even though Dr. Hansen is the only dermatologist in this area, I don't think I need to see or deal with people like this. The doctor fee is almost $400 and I can't be in the room with my cat. Seriously? I don't think they care so much about pet. They just want to make money. I didn't know the doctor but I already have an attitude because of his staff. I don't think I will go back again. Terrible people! read more

Dr. Hansen is a very professional vet and thorough in his work. I took my dog Charlie in and his skin was very irritated. Dr. Hansen did an excellent job treating Charlie's skin and ears. He recommended special food as well. The receptionists and vet techs are also very pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend this place. Dr. Hansen and his staff were able to diagnose and treat an infection that other vets could not. My dog has never been healthier and happier! Thank you! read more

Please note I had to put 3 stars because Yelp filters out my review eventhough it is a honest. Let me just say I went to Dr. Hansen because he was close to my home. But I realized I should have driven a little further to MD for a better dermatologist/allergists. Not only does he cost more than the derms in MD but you get a lot less. -Spent over $250 for less than 5 min of his time to tell me my dog is allergic to something (which I already knew bcos of the scratching) -Gave me prescription for a pill that was $17 per pill -They charge $375 for allergy testing but for small dogs they only do blood work for the testing, which is not as reliable. They claim they can't perform skin testing bcos dog is too small (7 lbs). Yet, other allergists in the DC area all can perform the test on any size dog. So my question for anyone considering going to his practice is why would you pay more for less? In addition, the lady that answer his phone is unhelpful and almost rude. read more

Just shy of a year ago one of our small dogs began to experience a rash that quickly spread across his entire body. He became very lethargic. The rash turned into crusty scabs making it painful for the boy to even move around. He would cry and cry. His weight dropped from 8 pounds down to 5. He lost a lot of his hair. We took him to our family vet and they tried their best but couldn't figure it out. After a few months our vet reached out to Doctor Hansen. His office was backed up but they were able to squeeze our boy in. Several visits and months later his skin has cleared up, hair has regrown, and energy levels through the roof. His weight is back to where it needs to be in the 8 pound range. In a time that people have been awful to others, we have witnessed what the beauty of humanity. While fighting his own personal medical fight, Dr. Hansen has diligently fought for us and for our little guy. I know that some balk at costs associated and say "too expensive", because yes there will always be a cost associated to seeing a specialist and fighting to save your animal's life. Dr. Hansen is an amazing human being that has a positive spirit that has raised us up when we thought all was lost with our loved boy. He and his staff have pulled off a miracle for us. I can not speak for others and their experiences, but we 100000000% would recommend anybody see this office. Thank you Dr. Hansen and amazing staff. read more

This place is soooo caring, polite, and attentive to their clients. Whenever I need an appointment, dog food, prescription, or anything else the man at the front desk is ready to help. I didn't see Dr. Bruce but the woman doctor i saw gave me a lot of information and is going to figure out my dog skin problems. I wanted to wait to review n write when my dog is better but already in the month I've been calling and getting prescription I've been so happy with this animal hospital. So my dog is not cured and we haven't been blessed with an easy cure but am still waiting for food trial to be over n most likely go to allergy skin testing. But I am confident that If anything can help my poor dog or it is this place- did I mention when I first called for appt. they where going to let me come in on the same day. The place in Gaithersburg told me a month at least. read more

This place is effective....I was doubtful if my dog will ever be cured until I brought him here This place is pricy but really effective...almost like miracle read more

Horrible Staff! Every time I call to order the special prescription food for my dog, I am met with a bad attitude. They always treat me like I am the most demanding person they have ever come across just to order a couple of bags and cases of food. They also DON'T order the food for me. I use to call when I was a week from being out of food but now I call two weeks out and they still don't order the food so me and my pet are put in a bind to run around and try and find another place that sells it. This last time it has been over three weeks and I still have not received my order. Disgusted with the horrible way I am treated. Go find another office - there has to be other derm vets out there where you are treated respectfully? read more

Dr. Hansen and his staff are fantastic! Our collie had been suffering with scratching, itching, biting and was miserable. Our traditional vet thought (for a variety of reasons) that our sweet dog was suffering from allergies. After months of trying different anti-histamines and special diets, I insisted on a referral to a dermatologist vet (why I didn't look for a specialist myself, I don't know except that I thought my vet knew best - trust your own instincts here folks!). We saw Dr. Hansen and within a minute's time, he knew that we weren't dealing with allergies! Instead, we were dealing with a mite that our dog contracted through the wild foxes that run around our neighborhood! Dr. Hansen told us that our dog would be just fine. And, he very clearly understands that collies have drug sensitivities and prescribed a treatment best and most effective for our dog. Within 36 hours, the itching, scratching and biting had stopped and our dog was on his way to getting rid of these mites. Thank God for Dr. Hansen and his wonderful team. They treated us so well and most obviously care for our animal companions! Thanks Dr. Hansen! read more

This clinic is the way all vet offices should be run. Pleasant, helpful and reliable staff. Dr. Hansen tested my dog the same day I had my appointment, began Apoquel for the itching and I am now doing injectable immunotherapy at home. He took a lot of time to explain things to me . My dog is doing so much better. Not sure where in Maryland a previous reviewer thinks the service will be better and cheaper. I have taken my previous dog to a derm/allergist in Gaithersburg. The cost was the same and the concern and service not as good. read more

These folks are wonderful. Where regular vets couldnt treat successfully skin and ear problems with my pets - this place did successfully. Staff is incredibly nice . read more

This guy has been a godsend for our VERY allergic dog. When our vet referred us after weeks of trying various treatments and worsening skin, we were at wits end. We took in a very pathetic pink hairless animal. it has taken some time and lots of money, but our princess once again looks like a Boston. She is now on allergy shots and various other meds, but we have gotten through this spring without any misery. Dr. Hansen is great--always concerned and always taking time to love on the princess before we start treatment. And this clinic (Dermatology and Allergy Associates) has absolutely the greatest staff of any I have ever encountered. I can't say enough about these great people! read more

I have a cat who has had major skin issues and I just found out he's allergic to grass :( Dr. Hansen and staff have been very nice each time I go to their office and have been accomadating to my crazy schedule. read more

Dr. Hansen is wonderful and Babe his assistant is also wonderful!

if i could give negative stars i would! i never write reviews but i will for this. horrible customer service & insanely over priced! i will never use them again! read more

I've taken a number of cats to Dr. Hansen over the years, and from infections to skin conditions to unusual skin parasites, he has quickly diagnosed the problem, even though my regular veterinarians had not been able to figure out exactly what was wrong. I can't recommend Dr. Hansen highly enough. Besides being such an excellent dermatologist, he is wonderful with the cats and they don't mind visiting him, even after a long drive. I've been to many vets and even another specialist about skin conditions in my cats in the seven years since Dr. Hansen was first recommended to me, and his skill is unsurpassed. read more
