Hi, I'm Dr. Hans C. Hansen, MD
I'm a Board Certified anesthesiologist and Board Certified pain management physician, as well as a Board Certified addictionologist. I've been actively practicing pain medicine for nearly four decades. I'm a believer in pain states that are often dismissed such as fibromyalgia and headache. I help patients overcome their challenges in pain, addiction and depression at my pain clinics in North Carolina.
I've enjoyed many publications including journal articles and book chapters, and I'm section editor on the editorial staff of Pain Physician, the most circulated and respected pain journal in the world.
My Education
I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Denver and my M.D. from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I completed my residency in Anesthesiology at the Yale University School of Medicine, with a specialized year in chronic pain management.
Interests
My interests include integrating the commonality of pain addiction and depression into contemporary wisdom of therapeutic interventions, and offering patients unique options to care. I'm also a frequent educator and lecturer in the field of pain management.
Contact Me
I can be reached at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
