I tore three of four rotator cuff muscles and my labrum, and was back to work in 2 months. It would've been 6+ months if I'd have had the surgery. This was last year and my shoulder still feels like it's getting stronger. It's definitely better than it was before it tore. It's a friendly, casual environment because Dr Hanson is a friendly, casual expert. I've flown over 2000 miles twice to have procedures done by him. And I'm going to do it again very soon for my low back. read more

After being in pain for many years, my condition was declining to the point that simple tasks made each day near impossible. I was sent to Dr. Hanson desperate for help. He was so busy grandstanding and being a chauvinist that he didn't listen to my medical history. Instead he preyed on my fears while patting himself on the back and implying his genius is worth five figures in cash. He blamed childhood trauma for my pain and indicated positive thinking would solve my disc problems while also positioning himself as a savior. I left scared and confused and overwhelmed. After a bit of research, I discovered he has a history of abusive tactics and his medical license is in jeopardy for abusing a female patient. No woman should ever trust this man. https://bmp.hlb.state.mn.us/disc/HANSON,%20Ronald%20W%20(PY49997)/HANSON,%20Ronald%20W%203-13-21.pdf read more

It's taken me so long to write this review because I am so traumatized by what I was put through by this man. In August my mom and I went to see Dr. Hanson each for a Stellate Ganglion Block for PTSD. He scheduled us on the same day, back to back. After my mother's injection, he let her stay with me for my procedure. It's worth mentioning that no vitals were taken at any point in his office. Immediately after the needle was in my neck, he injected vascularly, meaning the Bupivacaine was improperly placed which led to an extremely violent seizure and could have easily caused cardiac collapse. It's miraculous that it didn't. As I was seizing he stood by, frozen, doing absolutely nothing but staring at me. After about 10 minutes of seizing and unconsiousness, his nurse finally called 911 after my mom had begged the entire time for him to do so. An injection of lipids would have reversed the damage, which I later learned he had on hand, but chose not to administer. He came with me to the ER, where he very carefully manipulated the situation, while I was too vulnerable to properly advocate for myself. He did not explain any of this to me or any of the ER doctors or nurses, and even tried to ply us with a trip to get ice cream afterward, as if I had not very nearly just lost my life. I can no longer work and my mother and I are vastly more traumatized than we were when we went to see him. My mother and I have sent him countless texts and emails, all of which he has blatantly ignored. I worked the front lines of COVID in New York City and that trauma pales in comparison to what he has done to us. This man has absolutely no business practicing medicine and I would urge any and everyone to run far away from this disturbed psychopath.

I had a cervical stem cell procedure with Dr. Ron Hanson that permanently injured me and now I am unable to live a normal life. Living is now torture with how much pain I'm in and its only gotten worse as time goes on. I can barely move my head and when I do it sounds like its tearing and it never stops spasming, never ever stops, its torture. This procedure took my life away from me, things were going good in my life and I just wanted to heal some chronic pain but now I'm in infinitely worse pain and I've lost everything meaningful to my life because of this procedure. read more

I was in pain every step I took. I was pretty sure I would end up in a wheelchair permanently. I came to Dr. Hanson at Orthocure and he did a consult and recommended Platelet Rich Plasma which helped quite a bit with reduction of pain. I was able to walk or stand significantly longer. I did better but still needed more help. We discussed a lipid transplant. In September 2020 Dr. Hanson did the lipid transplant procedure on the fat pads of my feet. I am doing 60% better and no longer fear ending up in a wheelchair. All the other doctors that I went to offered nothing but custom orthotics, which when I had them made, did nothing but make my feet hurt more. He has developed some remarkable protocols with regenerative medicine that stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms. Dr. Hanson is passionate about helping people get their functional mobility back, be it a knee, shoulder, foot, whatever. read more
