A LETTER FROM DR. HANKE

We have spent many years practicing, teaching, researching and refining many medical and surgical treatments. The treatments we utilize are time-tested, safe, and effective. Our patients typically achieve a high level of satisfaction.

As it is our goal to provide you with the best care, it is important for us to listen to your concerns. Our role is then to select the most appropriate treatments and present the advantages and disadvantages to you. If we think we can help you, we will tell you. If we cannot help you, we will refer you to another physician if appropriate.

The challenge for you as a patient is to select a qualified, experienced physician with whom you feel comfortable. I would suggest that you review the curriculum vitae on this website to see if my qualifications, experience, and background mesh with your treatment needs.

We would be pleased to answer your questions by e-mail, mail, or telephone. However, nothing replaces a face-to-face consultation. Please call 317-582-8484, and let us know how we can help you.
