5.0 star star star star starI have had an excellent experience with Dr. Hanna and am extremely grateful for the care I receive. He is thorough and knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain my condition and all treatment options in clear, understandable terms. The cortisone injections and ablation procedures are performed with great precision and professionalism. He ensures that I am comfortable throughout and clearly communicates what to expect before, during, and after each procedure. His calm and confident manner eases my anxiety. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert spine and pain management care. He has the best nurses also.

He explained the procedure I would be undergoing by showing me a plastic replica of how and where the injection would be administered.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Hanna has truly transformed my life. For years, I lived with chronic neck pain that affected everything_my mood, my personality, even the way I carried myself each day. It became harder and harder to hide the discomfort from my family. That chapter is finally over. Dr. Hanna gave me what I had been searching for all along: real relief, not a lifetime of prescriptions or invasive treatments with harsh medications. At one point, the pain was even affecting my voice. Now, I finally feel like myself again. I am deeply grateful.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
