BEST. DOCTOR. EVAR. An amazing man and doctor. He cares. He listens. He recognizes that you may not have money to give a drug a "try" and gives samples, he remembers your name, your family and the story you told him about a rash you had 7 years ago. He has been recognized by his peers, Texas Monthly and ... me? i have been seeing Dr. Hahn since 99. i have gone thru many life and medical changes. He was there all the way, keeping track, being supportive and not just a doctor that breezes in and out. He takes the time to listen and answer all your questions and is HONEST. his staff is AMAZING. i recommend him to anyone who is looking for a doctor. don't hesitate if you are looking, make an appointment. You will NOT regret it and will also become a long time patient. /true story. read more

I will just be echoing what everyone else has said...I have never, ever been to a doctor that was so attentive. I have gone to ARC for years, and while my doctor was kind...I always felt so rushed that I would leave not even feeling like I had told him everything I had planned on. Dr. Hahn sits down, makes eye contact, LISTENS....I mean, it should all be common sense, but most doctors see so many patients it's become a cattle call just to see all of them. I am so grateful for others reviewing him so that I could find him!! read more

It's taken me a few years to find a doctor I was comfortable with since my previous one left me for a higher paying client in Hollywood. Hahn was a random find. It's like you're thumbing through some old vinyl, not knowing the era or the genre...just a bit bored and curious. You see one that you have no reason to believe you'll enjoy. You bring out your old turntable....put it on..and...whoa! Dr. Hahn is professional and knowledgeable and is a damn fine Primary Care Physician. He and his staff find time to squeeze me in for my minor emergencies (scratched cornea or needing to spend my flexible spending account dollars in the last week or the year) and attend to my yearly or biannual checkups. Having a staff which makes themselves available is very important. They have an emergency line to call off-hours He tries to understand where I am coming from, both personally and genetically and offers sage direction. He told me that men of my background have a higher risk of heart disease, even though they do not often exhibit signs of obesity. I told him it was because we have smaller diameter arteries in general. He listened. He is definitely a listener, teacher and learner. And he is open. He is my wife's doctor too. When she was pregnant and suffering from hip pains, he prescribed alternate medicines including acupuncture. He didn't quite realize that a quick chiro-adjust was what she needed, but he does have a holistic approach. Which brings me to my next point. He's not god. I think the more mechanical aspects or perhaps some female-specific aspects may be a tad out his realm. That's why you also have specialists. If you're pregnant and have aches and pains, I'd actually recommend going to our midwife, Michelle, first. (http://www.yelp.com/biz/michele-fitzgerald-cpm-austin) But OVERALL, if you're looking for a primary care physician to look after your needs, Dr. Hahn is da man. Just to give you an example of one of my dodgier experiences, pre-Hahn, I recall having to get some blood work prior to marriage per an instruction sheet which originated in puritanical New England, where I was to get married. So, this good 'ole boy Texan doctor read the sheet and noted that he was to have some sort of "discussion about Marriage" with me. This caught us both by surprise. The doctor in question looked at me and said: "Don't screw around on your wife, you probably know the rest". Pretty Crude. Funny, in retrospect, but he just didn't read the moment well. Hahn is a breath of fresh air. read more

Wow, I called Dr. Hahn's office earlier today and found out he hasn't been accepting patients for a few years now. And on top of that he's moving to a concierge medicine model where patients will pay around $1600/year cash (no insurance) to have him as their doctor. 500 patients max in this model I was told. So... There you have it. Obamacare in action folks. Not his fault that he's had to adapt so I'll rate 4 stars. He's obviously a fantastic Doctor if there's so much demand for his services. I'll bump to 5 stars if you can squeeze me in Doc! :) read more

Dr. Hahn has been my doctor for almost 10 years now, and has always provided great service with a smile and care. Dr. Hahn, unlike other past doctors I've had, does not immediately jump to pharmacologicals and instead encourages general health practices first, like changes in diet, exercise and alternative medicines. He adjusts his approach to fit the patient. The office has always been able to squeeze me in the same day for more urgent issues, and never wait more than a day or two for non-urgent requests. Nurses and staff are great. The office looks like it could maybe use a little decoration refresh, but I'm not going there for the ambiance - I'm there to get help from one of the best doctors in Austin. read more

I've only had a couple GP (general practice) doctors in my life and I did not think there was a big difference between them; however, after becoming a patient of Dr. Hahn I've realized there is a huge difference between GP doctors and Dr. Hahn is definitely one of the best. He demonstrates a sincere interest, listens, and takes the time to explain what he recommends and why. I'm always interested in being a part of the decision making process for my health and Dr. Hahn encourages it. read more

If not sure if it was my over exuberance, my naivete , or if i am just getting older but someplace along my fitness journey i damaged my left rotator cuff and bicep. As is typical for me i had put off going to the doctor, assuming it would pass. I slowed my workouts and cut back on the resistive training and used smaller weights. The pain remained. Heck, i even tried acupuncture for the first time in my life which was fun and seemed to help but only minimally. So i just could not take it anymore and broke down and made an appt with doctor Hahn. I have been to Dr. Hahn several times and he is very friendly, professional and easy to talk to. I went in and explained my pain what had led up to it and he prescribed me some anti inflammatory medication and told me to keep working out lightly. I would have never believed it but after 1.5 days of taking my prescription my pain had disappeared by about 85% and by the end of the week it was for all practical purposes gone. This has helped my sleep, my work and my orneriness. With this and some physical therapy I was able to renew my workouts and have since recovered functionality in my shoulder. Minus one star simply due to the difficulty in communicating with office staff/nurses. It usually will take multiple calls just to get a human being to talk to you to get test results, refill prescriptions or in this case...just to schedule an appt. read more

I have been reluctant to find all new everything (including medical professionals) after my move to Austin- I have had a hard time letting go of all the providers I had for years, and the few I have tried did not impress. However, after having a recurrent illness for several weeks, I finally made an appointment with Dr. Hahn after researching several doctors on Yelp. He was also in-network which was a plus! Dr. Hahn was friendly right off the bat, and listened well to my symptoms and feelings. He was also very thorough in explaining the possible culprits of my illness, the possible courses of action, and any questions I had about prescribed medications. All of my concerns were handled and I felt confident that he cared and understood. The only negative to his office is that no one ever answers the phone! They have a lengthy automated system with several prompts, and I have never gotten a live person to answer either the receptionist's or the nurse's desk. You are forced to leave a message, and are at the mercy of the timing of their return call. Otherwise, you will have to frustratingly call back and leave another message. For a busy person who works off hours, this has been a big source of difficulty for me. I hope that they will start up a better response system for their clients, otherwise I highly recommend Dr. Hahn! read more

Amazing doctor. Truly caring. Will help you find alternative medicines if that is the path that you are wanting. If you are sick, he will make sure that he gets you in or will talk to you on the phone. As far as getting an appointment as a new client he is very busy but once you are a regular its much easier. read more

Dr. Hahn is top notch. I grew up in a home where we had no doctors, dentists, etc. that we could call "ours." Colds and scrapes got prayer not care. Bleeding might get you to the the clinic, but probably not. So I didn't develop strong habits for seeking out good pre-emptive and routine care. Until my son was born. For the last few years, I have been proud to call Dr. Hahn "my" doctor. He is never rushed in our appointment. He talks to me like I am as smart as he is. He does not rush to drugs to fix every problem. He takes a holistic approach without having an ounce of hippy-dippy in it. I feel like Dr. Hahn cares about me and my well being. Strange how that needs to be stated these days- like it's unique from a DOCTOR. Well, it is. read more

I am a Murse. When I needed a new "regular" doc, I asked some of the docs I work with for recommendations. Dr Hahn's name was mentioned more than a few times. Guess who we went with? Dr Hahn is very thorough, listens, and cares. read more

Look no further for a GP. Dr. Hahn is an awesome doctor. My family has been with Dr. Hahn for 10+ years. In fact, we are living in College Station temporarily and we still drive back to Dr. Hahn when we can. The thing I like most about him is that he actually listens, spends time and explains his diagnosis and recommendations. read more

I'm writing this review for Dr. Hahn's practice. My insurance automatically assigned Dr. Hahn to me and when I called to make an initial appointment, they informed me that not only was he not accepting new patients (this is already a huge red flag for me with any doctor) I was informed that they charge a "concierge fee of $1550 a year and that it was actually going up to $1800 a year, and "Do I think I could pay that?" ... I do have an affordable type insurance. What kind of doctor treats people this way? And concierge fee? Ridiculous. This is exactly why I'm a pre-med college student. This is EXACTLY why someone like me, someone who aged out of the foster care system in Texas who comes from poverty and is PAYING for my health insurance is trying to become a doctor and work to help people and charge some outrageous yearly fee just to be patient of theirs. That's what co-pays, premiums, deductibles, and every other tiny thing we pay for towards our already high healthcare costs are for. Shame on you. read more

What an awesome doc!!! I normally live in Los Angeles and I'm working in austin. Have the MDVIP plan and they referred me to Dr Hahn. What a great doc, spent time with me ( even though I'm from out of town) and got me healthier in a few days. Thank you thank you thank you!! I may be permanently moving to Austin and I already know who my doc will be read more

Never seen a person go from best to worst as quickly as Dr. Hahn. He has been my primary care doctor for 5-7 years until recently. I have been trying to schedule an appointment with him for over a year! Yes, a year! No one ever answers the phone at the office so you have to leave a voicemail asking for an appointment. Then, if they call you back it is in 2-4 weeks. And, if you miss their call back you start the process all over again. On the off chance you reach them they will gladly schedule an appointment for you 6-9 months in the future. On top of it Dr. Hahn rejects the prescriptions he prescribed for you when you go for a refill. His office instructs the pharmacist that I need to come in for an appointment with him before they will allow another refill. And, the endless cycle to get an appointment begins again... I've heard he is now not accepting new patients and no longer accepts insurance so this review is probably pointless, but I felt it was important to review him given how important your primary care doctor is to your life. Medical doctors should not be allowed to run a practice like this. When you truly need them they won't help you. read more

Dr. Hahn is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. He takes the time to evaluate your present health and health goals. Dr. Hahn then works diligently to address any of your concerns to ensure you are on a path to optimal health. It is very hard to find this kind of attention and care today. Thank you to Dr. Hahn and the team. read more

Dr Hahn is an adequate PCP, but not exceptional. Regardless, I continued seeing him for 5+ years because once you establish the relationship it makes sense. However, he has been IMPOSSIBLE to schedule an appointment with the past few years. Callbacks almost never happen. I noted several other reviews recently which listed the same problem. More insulting is that he has recently switched to a 'concierge service', which means that patients pay a monthly fee to have priority access status. In this current climate of obscene healthcare costs, that sends a pretty clear message about his priorities. Further, as a long-time patient, I would expect I would be notified and included in that status change if desired. Instead, I was not contacted (typical), and found out that I was discontinued from his primary care list only after I had to go to the ER, and the doctor there called his office: they said 'sorry it's been too long since we've seen him, Dr Hahn is no longer his PCP." That is true, it's been awhile since I've seen Dr Hahn... BECAUSE THEY NEVER RETURN CALLS FOR APPOINTMENTS! Sheesh. read more

Wow! Truly awesome Dr and amazing staff. If you are looking for a highly competent and compassionate medical practice look no further. Trustworthy, responsive, courteous and expert: all that one hopes for in someone who literally has your and your family's lives and wellbeing in their hands. read more

I hate to say this because Dr. James Hahn was my doctor for the past 15 years. He was excellent, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. He was absolutely fantastic until the past two years when I could never get a hold of his receptionist or nurse after calling over 20 times. After I couldn't get into his office for a visit for the past 2 years they put me out of his system so that I now have to fight my way back in. I love Dr. Hahn, but the rudeness and disrespectful reception is horrible when you are sick and need to see your doctor. read more

Have been a patient for over 10 years. I called today for an appointment, and was told that since I haven't been in for 1 year, I am a "new patient", and they aren't accepting new patients, unless I pay a large yearly "concierge fee". Betrayed by a doctor I trust. If you have lots of money, maybe this isn't a problem for you and you can disregard my review. read more

As good as they come. GREAT M.D., great staff. He has been my doctor for five years. Very easy to talk to and you can tell very much cares about you as a patient. Recognized by Texas Monthly as "One of the Top Doctors in Texas." For the person rating he and his office one-star because you couldn't get an appointment, there's a reason. He's not taking new patients and there is a six-month wait to be one. I'll let you guess the reason why and it's not because he slow or understaffed. Fantastic doctor and person. read more

A true patient advocate. Dr. Hahn practices medicine for the medicine, and always puts the patient first. He's said no to the one hand on the doorknob insurance drone for a doctor mentality. He takes time to listen and helps patients navigate what is now a difficult labyrinth of red tape for quality medical care. read more

My experience with Dr. Hahn has been great so far. He listens and respects my judgment about my own health, which is really important. I also recently had to wait awhile to get a "check up" appointment, but if you are ill, they can get you in much faster. read more

I love Dr. Hahn! Admittedly, my first impression was not great. I felt very rushed on our first meeting & he was in and out in a hurry. Perhaps they overbooked that day, but I'm glad I went back! I've been seeing Dr. Hahn for over a year now (after moving central & switching doctors). I've had a lot of emergencies come up lately & they're always able to get me in right away. The receptionist knows me by name & I like that. She always asks how I'm doing, etc. Dr. Hahn's nurses are also great. I can't say enough good things about him & his office staff. It's hard to get in as a new patient (in fact he's not taking new patients now...tried to get my sister in, but she waited too long to call - months, not days). Everyone else in my family goes to him! read more

I have been to enough doctors to realize that what sets a doctor apart often is the follow-up after a doctor's office visit. Dr Hahn called me personally and gave me an update on my lab reports and recommended options over the phone. Nice ! read more

Dr. Hahn is HANDS DOWN THE BEST DOCTOR EVER!!!!!!!!!! He is brilliant, and absolutely the best doctor there is. In fact, a lot of my OWN other doctors (gyno, urologist, etc.) have him as a doctor. He's just that good! If you want to find a fantastic doctor, go to the one that your OWN doctors go to! read more

Gentle kind and patient. He listens to everything you have to say. I recommend without reservations. His nurse is wonderful as well

Dr. Hahn has been my doctor for close to 20 years. He is a wonderful doctor. His diagnoses have always been accurate and when he thinks a referral to a specialist is in order, he does not hesitate. In fact a referral to a specialist a few years ago saved my life. What I thought was a sinus infection ended up being a very large pituitary tumor. His cautiousness took me down a path that discovered my tumor. The tumor was removed followed a couple of years later with the Cyberknife procedure. He is accessible, patient and has a wonderful staff. In fact his staff has been with him almost as long as I have been his patient. That speaks volumes about the atmosphere in his office. I highly recommend Dr. Hahn and his office. read more

I finally got to see Dr Hahn after a 3.5 month wait for a physical today. Yes it was a long wait, but while I was in the waiting area several returning customers were able to get same day appts. He was very attentive and listened to my concerns. He knew several of the other doctors I had seen over the years. The lab is next door which is really nice. I did hear that they are not accepting new patients now so I must have just made it in. Thanks Yelp for recommendation. read more

I've consistently had good experiences with Dr. Hahn and his staff.

Dr. Hahn is nothing but awesome! His staff is great, and his manner and professionalism are bar none.

Dr. Hahn was recommended to me by a specialist as the 'go-to' family practice physician in Austin. This was 20 years ago. I am impressed with his intellect, listening skills, solid judgment and the staff that he employs. All in all, he is a phenomenal resource to me though I am a very healthy person overall. If you're in need, I couldn't recommend anyone more highly. read more

My husband and I have been patients with Dr. Hahn for several years now and were among the last people to be accepted before his practice closed to new patients. He has always been spot on in terms of diagnosis and treatment and we are very glad to have found a doctor we trust. Although his practice has been very busy the last few years, I never personally experienced the same issues that some of the negative reviewers indicated but maybe that is because I diligently go for my annual physical exam (I think it is standard practice for refills to be denied on prescriptions if you have not been seen by the doctor in over a year since my allergist and my kids' pediatrician also have the same policy). As mentioned by others, his practice recently did switch to a MDVIP concierge network that requires additional out of pocket expense. Since it just started, I think the jury is out on whether this ends up being worthwhile. We debated whether to join this program and to remain with Dr. Hahn but ultimately decided it was worth it to stay with a Dr. we trust. This may well be the wave of the future because of the growing dysfunction in our healthcare system, so more of the good doctors may be signing up to similar programs in the future. read more

I LOVE DR. HAHN and his staff. I have been a patient of Dr. Hahn's for 20+ years. I think he is great and has been so consistently over the years. I have a 5 family members and several friends that all feel the same way. I took my 88 year old stepmom to see him yesterday again he and his staff were great. The waiting room construction area not so much. My sister had informed me that his practice was going to become a concierge practice. This means a monthly fee and while I understand the craziness that insurance companies have placed on doctors making it necessary to take on more patients than possible to serve to make a decent living. However, paying a monthly fee it will be a hardship for most of my family. I wish him the best in his new practice and hope it is beneficial to his patients that continue with him. I thank him for always taking the time and having the patience to provide the best treatment I have ever had from a primary care doctor. read more

First, they don't accept new patients. Then when I tried to call the doctor's office, it seems like they are in a rush to hang up on you. Never see a doctor office like this. I'll give a zero star if I could. read more

Excellent physician - incredibly nice guy. Very good in every respect.

Wow. How disappointing. I used to go to Dr Hahn several years ago and really, really loved him. I wouldn't give him a bad rating except for the fact that I spent several days researching plans on the Marketplace, for my son, who just turned 26 and so no longer can be on my employer's plan. I saw that Dr Hahn was listed on the BCBS plans as accepting new patients so I was surprised, but thrilled to hear. I called his office to confirm if he was taking new patients with that BC/BC plan. Guess I should figure I'll never get a call back. Oh well! Why would BC/BS list him as taking new patients if he's converted to a VIP only practice? That seems very, very deceptive and now I have to start over to find my so a PCP. :-( read more

My husband and I love Dr. Hahn! Nice office staff, fast appointments, everything is great!

I began going to Dr. James Hahn when I was in my thirties; I am now 66. I moved out of state for 10 yrs. When I moved back to Texas 4 yrs ago I was worried that I wouldn't be able to be his patient again as I found out he was not taking on new patients. But he and his staff (many of whom were still working there 10 yrs later) welcomed me back with open arms! And it certainly had nothing to do with money as the insurance I have is pretty bad and I don't have a lot of $. I believe it had to do with the fact that Dr. Hahn and his nurses and rest of staff are genuinely kind, caring, and compassionate people ! No matter if I'm just calling them for a medicine refill, to make an appointment or just ask a question or if I'm undergoing a serious procedure or sick in hospital, I have ALWAYS been treated professionally, warmly, respectfully, and with the utmost competency. And now that I am older and have developed a number of serious health problems, I am especially grateful and thankful for these wonderful people. (FYI- this is the very first review I have given on YELP or anywhere else online ever before!) read more

I hate going to doctors as much as anybody else. I have what most people call white-coat syndrome. Dr. Hahn is very knowledgeable and is very easy to talk to which is a plus because most major problems aren't even discussed when somebody meets with their doctor. He makes sure that you know exactly what the problem is instead of throwing out long terms that takes a PhD to decipher. He is a great doctor that will make your visits enjoyable. I came into his office and the nurse took my blood pressure at 150/90, after 5 mins with Dr. Hahn, my BP dropped to 115/80. Nough said read more
