Review of
[Dr. Brent Hanson has] ZERO bedside manner! He told me I was old, and that I shouldn't even consider alternative options and should just go straight to IVF...was extremely cold, without compassion, didn't explain anything or tell me what my options were, and treated me like I was an idiot
[CCRM Minneapolis was] Sterile...feel like a number...push you through the process without a lot of explanation...feels like they're just trying to make as much money as possible. Not a whole lot of explanation. They don't explain pricing unless you really push...technology is so dated and not user friendly
How was your experience with Brent Hanson at CCRM Minneapolis?
ZERO bedside manner! He told me I was old, and that I shouldn't even consider alternative options and should just go straight to IVF. This was prior to me even having been diagnosed with PCOS - which is why my OBGYN referred me to CCRM in the first place. He was extremely cold, without compassion, didn't explain anything or tell me what my options were, and treated me like I was an idiot. I have heard this same complain from multiple other women as well. DO NOT see him. It sounds like he picks and chooses who he wants to treat. His license to practice should be taken away.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brent Hanson at CCRM Minneapolis?
Unless you want to feel like an old, inadequate, degenerate of a woman, RUN! See Dr. Batcheller or anyone at RMIA!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Brent Hanson at CCRM Minneapolis?
He did not elaborate on any of my options. He was cold, didn't act like he cared about me or his job whatsoever, and was extremely rude.
Describe your experience with CCRM Minneapolis.
Sterile and you feel like a number. They push you through the process without a lot of explanation. It feels like they're just trying to make as much money as possible. Not a whole lot of explanation. They don't explain pricing unless you really push for it and their technology is so dated and not user friendly.

Review of
Because of the Covid restrictions we were only able to meet with Dr. Hansen via video, but during those times he was able to be personable, answer our questions and make us feel comfortable. Also, during the egg retrieval, he was not the doctor that conducted that procedure, but did take the time out to come over and check on my wife to ensure she was good and introduce himself in person..
The strengths [of the CCRM nurses] were making sure the timelines were clear, the procedures explained, the next steps set up...Weaknesses would have to be the office administration- numerous times there had to be follow up with them around submitting any prior approvals, payments, etc. They held overpayments at their will, and were not compassionate about any of the areas that were of concern for my wife and I.
How was your experience with Brent Hanson at CCRM Minneapolis?
Our experience as patients has allowed us to ask all of the questions that we needed and be lined up for all of the treatments that were necessary. Dr. Hanson and CCRM does lean on their large network to enable them to see a large amount of patients. This can seem a little impersonal at times, but it also allows the clinic to serve a greater number of individuals.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brent Hanson at CCRM Minneapolis?
Be sure to expect most of the communication to come from nurses and be very good at checking all the information on the on line portal.

Review of
Dr Brent Hanson was very meticulous when going over our past medical histories, TTC history, and current labs and tests at CCRM. He ensured that we were put on the most appropriate treatment plan and retrieval medication process, without over-medicating...[he] was not the doctor assigned to us on the day of our retrieval, but made a point to stop by during recovery to chat about number of eggs retrieved, and just to see how we were doing overall.
While CCRM is currently extremely busy and mildly short staffed (due to staff parental leaves, not turnover), they are doing their best to ensure their patience receive timely and top-notch medical care. Additionally, the fact that their current roster seems to be so overwhelmed is also encouraging - I would rather be a patient at the clinic that seems impossible to get in to due to their bedside manner, education, knowledge, and success rate, rather than one that is scraping for any interest.

Dr. Hanson was not the doctor assigned to us on the day of our retrieval, but made a point to stop by during recovery to chat about number of eggs retrieved, and just to see how we were doing overall. IVF and infertility are incredibly overwhelming and emotionally exhausting processes, and having a medical professional as intelligent, educated, and most importantly, compassionate as Dr. Hanson has truly helped to smooth over so many bumps and hurdles.
