Such a professional, easy to talk to, and amazing provider. Dr. Hansen was everything I hoped for in a surgeon and this experience from beginning to end with him and TCO staff was remarkably easy. I will be recommending this provider group to everyone who needs joint replacement surgery!

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.
