Services
Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery addresses severe arthritis or joint damage by replacing the hip joint with a prosthetic implant. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques and Mako robotic-assisted technology to enhance precision, reduce recovery time, and restore mobility for patients with chronic hip pain.
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement treats advanced arthritis or ligament injuries by replacing damaged knee components with artificial implants. We offer traditional and robotic-assisted procedures to improve joint function, alleviate pain, and support active lifestyles for San Diego residents.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery diagnoses and repairs joint issues using small incisions and a camera-guided tool. This technique treats cartilage tears, ligament strains, and soft tissue damage with faster recovery compared to open surgery, ideal for sports injuries and degenerative conditions.
Physical Therapy
Our in-house physical therapy program focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and function after injury or surgery. Customized plans include therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and advanced modalities to accelerate recovery, prevent re-injury, and improve overall musculoskeletal health.
Orthobiologics
Orthobiologics leverage the body's natural healing processes to repair musculoskeletal tissues. Treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapy, and hyaluronic acid injections reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, and delay surgical interventions for conditions like osteoarthritis and tendon injuries.

Dr. Hanson is incredible! He is attentive and had a wonderful bed side manner that made me feel comfortable and confident in his care. I also can't say enough about his entire staff- Ashley, Ken, and the entire office staff are amazing! Very helpful and responsive to all my needs. I can't thank them enough for the the great care they provided.

Great Support Staff! Anesthesiologist was Amazing total trust in the Doctor administering the anesthesia and spinal block. Operating room staff was fabulous, made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Hanson, a fantastic Surgeon, is amazing. He had replaced my right knee, 3 years ago, with great results. He just now did my left knee replacement. I can feel this one already is even better. Recovery nurses were very attentive and made me even more comfortable. Can't say enough about the whole staff and whole experience.

I had to go to the Grossmont Orthopedic Physical Therapy for 4 weeks. They are awesome! I had Sara for my first and last session, and Deb for the rest. I was in so much pain in the beginning and when my sessions were done, the pain is like a 1-2 compared to 8-9. They really listen to you and truly care. They are the best physical therapists I've ever had. And Dr Hansen is great as well. I highly recommend!

The nurses, PT therapist, and every single staff member were exemplary! They were attentive, kind and caring. They put me at ease from the first contact to the time I was wheeled to the car. The one interaction I had with housekeeping was as kind and helpful as the nurses. Dr Hanson and the anesthesiologist were the BEST. Thank you!

Dr. Hanson is amazing. He replaced my hip and I am "like new" again! Dr. Hanson and his surgery center operating staff were extremely professional but created a relaxed atmosphere which was very calming. Dr. Hanson exudes confidence and competence without any of the arrogance many surgeons display. I felt like I was in great hands every step of the way. If you need a hip replaced, Dr. Hanson is your guy.

This is my second surgery (knee and hip) with Dr Hanson. My son had surgery with another physician in the group as well. We are exceedingly pleased with the care we have received. From the congeniality of the office people, to the expertise of the surgeons and auxiliary medical staff it is certainly a five star operation all around. Everyone cares and I can't think of a more experienced and technically excellent hip surgeon than Dr Hanson.
If you ask around, you will find that to be the case. Non surgical options are always tried first, when appropriate, and everything is well explained, and that's important. Certainly the only place I would go to for my orthopedic needs, surgical or otherwise.
