Dr. Hansen and his team are exceptional. I had two total knee replacements (9 weeks apart) and I am finally living pain-free and am on the path of regaining a quality of life I thought could be gone forever.
The surgical precision was incredible, but the attentive post-operative care truly set the experience apart. If you want your mobility back, look no further than this exceptional team.

I was seeking a second opinion from Dr. Hansen. He was so thorough and informative of my knee replacement considerations. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hansen if you are considering knee replacement surgery. Dr Hansen’s medical assistant Parker was also a good listener, knowledgeable and patiently answered all my questions.

Dr. Uel Hansen’s focus is on total hip and total knee replacement surgery. As a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, he takes people with arthritis and tries to make them better by replacing their joints.
Dr. Hansen was serving as a medical platoon leader in the U.S. Army when he was accepted to medical school. The Army funded his medical school, and his orthopaedic training was with the military. Dr. Hansen spent six years taking care of the orthopaedic needs of soldiers and their families. After completing his military obligation, he trained for a year in Chicago at Rush University Hospital. While there, he worked with world-renowned surgeons doing hip and knee replacement surgeries.
For Dr. Hansen, the most rewarding part of orthopedics is making a positive change in a patient's life by improving their function. For him, the heart of orthopedics is helping people function better with less pain.
A family man, Dr. Hansen loves spending time with his wife and children. He also enjoys being outside and working on outdoor projects. Having grown up on a farm, he appreciates the abundant agriculture produced in the Tri-Cities region. Dr. Hansen and his family are very grateful to be in the Tri-Cities and happy to be a part of this community.
