Dan L Hancock

Karin is terribly rude. The staff are terribly rude. Karin needs to retire

I was referred to Dr Hancock after a hospitalization for a back injury. He is a somewhat more serious physician, but I was impressed for his thoroughness reading the medical history I had filled out, and spending time reading my MRI and explaining the results. My epidural procedure was excellent, minimal pain, and so far,( after 24 hours) good results. He is not "warm and fuzzy", but that is not as important to me as skill level. He is a seasoned physician, and also as an RN, this is important to me. His office staff, was very kind and compassionate, especially Robin, and Theresa. Karin the receptionist also very patient and kind. If you have reservations from the other less stellar reviews, I would put them aside.

He's rude and a hypocrite. When I was seeing him I heard him tell myself and 2 others we were fat and maybe that why we would never find relief. Couldn't be bothered to explain alternative medicine, " because I wouldn't understand it anyway.

Dr. Dan Hancock I think is a great doctor! He knows a lot of what's going on with pain. I am very satisfied with him. He has a great team that shows great care for patients. I totally recommend him. Just listen to what he says!

Rude, unprofessional and without a doubt the worst doctor I’ve ever seen.

I would not ever go back to this doctor. Ever. I went to him out of convenience because I work at centerpoint medical center. He is a complete joke of a doctor. Doesn't care about you or your pain or that you are there for a reason. His nursing staff were just as rude. I expected to be treated like a person and instead was treated like I wasn't. I'm absolutely horrified that he treats patients. He needs his medical license removed. He needs his practice shut down. He only cares about money and injections, not your well being or helping you get out of pain. I would not ever go back to this doctor. Ever.

I met with Dr. Dan Hancock this morning concerning my health issues and could not have been more impressed with my overall experience in his office. He was very thorough, detailed, polite and informative. I am looking forward to future appointments and working toward regaining my health.

Worst doctor visit I’ve ever had! Very rude, unsympathetic, unprofessional. I also overheard him talking down to a staff member. I wanted to give him a chance despite negative reviews because of the convenience of location but I clearly should have listened to others about his terrible patient care. I can’t believe he is allowed to continue practicing medicine after reading such terrible reviews and hearing from others I have run across in my daily life that have nothing good to say about him.

Do not go to this doctor! I work in the medical profession at Centerpoint hospital so I chose this doctor out of convenience. I read all of the horrible reviews and almost didn't go but thought I'd give him a chance. Not everyone is always super truthful. I went and had a consultation and decided to proceed with an injection. I went the day of my injection and was treated absolutely horribly by his nursing staff and the doctor himself. He absolutely a complete jerk and wasn't interested in helping me understand why the plan changed. I mean I work with doctors every day. I know they can be rude and not patient centered but this doctor goes above and beyond. I'm absolutely disgusted with his manor. I will be filing a complaint with centerpoint hospital. I can't say this enough, find a different doctor that actually cares about his patients and not just giving Injections. He didn't want to help me.

Dr Hancock is the greatest. Thank you.

Dr. Hancock is a wonderful doctor. He spends time to talk to you. He explains things to you and he does care about you

He explained my condition and desussed all the options and thay call to set up follow up appointments after they receive pre autheration they all have treated me great and I have no complaints

Dr. Hancock is temperamental and a perfectionist. He is above making mistakes but if you make one, he will belittle and berate you. I question the positive reviews on here and whether they were paid or not. His bedside manner is deplorable. He is moody and can be downright mean. He has no limit on what comes out of his mouth.

I am giving this doctor one star for rudeness and lack of consideration for his new patient, my 94-year-old mother. We previously obtained and completed his 9 page initial history form, and took it with us on the foggy, icy day of the appointment. My mom has become rather frail, with deficits in sight, hearing, and mobility. We arrived at 10:30, the appointment time, but later than we planned despite allowing plenty of time. There were problems with the documents and it took a few minutes to sort out. Dr. Hancock entered the reception area, announcing we would “have to reschedule because you were late”. I protested that we arrived on time but the paperwork was a problem and that I had driven more than 75 miles to get her to the office in horrible weather. He retorted that “You knew about this more than two weeks ago, and you will have to reschedule!”. The staff attempted to soothe things over and after he left, we were shown back to an exam room, but he never appeared. We left.

Horrible bed side manner. Talked down to my mom and basically said she didn't know anything about her prior surgeries. Very rude.

I read the reviews on this Doctor (if you can even call him a "DOCTOR) They were mostly negative, however I try to give the benefit of the doubt. Boy was I wrong in this instance!! This Doctor is HIGHLY POMPOUS AND ARROGANT!!! He told me that I was not a candidate for surgery because I am too fat. He proceeded to tell me that No one gives cortisone shots like he does!!! Audacity in spades!! Don't waste your gas effort and time on this creep!! Evidently he only helps those who are extremely wealthy and / or have phenomenal insurance!!! I will definitely NEVER EVER go to any one else with poor reviews!!

Told me I was on too.many meds. Also all but said he doesn't like helping smokers. I went to him in hope of getting help, so I could get off pain meds.He told me to get an MRI in which I will, but I sure in not going back to this arrogant, conceited , condescending fellow. I don't even refer to him as a doctor. Guess I am off to see a neurologist. Should of went there in the first place. Told me I was on too.many meds. Also all but said he doesn't like helping smokers.

Worst Dr EVER! Don’t waste your time, money or get your hopes up. I would never recommend anyone to him. He said to me: “ Corn Cob Up my saddle”. A doctor is supposed to be kind and caring and that is not the case. His staff was robotic and walking around on egg shells. Just find another Dr! Worst Dr EVER! Don’t waste your time, money or get your hopes up. I would never recommend anyone to him. … More

He was like talking to a robot, when I was going to him. When my daughter went to him, he talked down to her and her husband, and was very rude to them as well as his staff. Unfortunately, those aren't the only reason I rated him so low. Because of my insurance requirements, I have to return two weeks after an injection to have the results evaluated, before insurance will approve another injection. Following my last injection, I had to take my 3 year old and 8 year old granddaughters with me when I went for the evaluation. Both girls were silently watching videos on electronic devices, the 3 year old in a stroller, and were not making a sound or moving around in their seats. He refused to allow me to bring them into the consult room, even though there was no exam involved, only a question and answer consult, and there are no signs posted anywhere in that practice that stayes children are not allowed in the office. I was told I would have to reschedule. My mother had a stroke the day before the rescheduled appointment. I called and cancelled and explained I would call back to reschedule after my mother's condition stabilized. The weeks later I receive a bill in the mail. Both appointments werevlisted as "no show". I called to have the charges removed, but the receptionist would have to ask the doctor to approve it, because he makes that decision personally. Apparently I only gave 20 hours cancellation notice, not a full 24, and he is allowed to say who can and cannot come into the room. I had the option of leaving the children in the waiting room alone. (Are you kidding me????) The charges were never removed, and I have since switched pain centers. He is an egotistical bully with no bedside manner or personality.

Based on previous reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but my first appointment was this morning and I have to say he was pleasant; not overly talkative, but not horrible. He was helpful in explaining what my prior x-ray and MRI showed, and also in explaining what to expect going forward, not only with my insurance company but also with my treatment. All in all I was very satisfied - if anything changes I'll be sure to update this! Update: after several appointments over the course of about 6 months I did finally see the rudeness others have experienced. He had put me on a different anti inflammatory and asked how it was working for me. I assumed he was referring to whether it was helping my back pain, since that's what I was there for, so I told him it wasn't really helping. His response, in a rather snooty tone, was, "Then why are you taking it?" Um, because you prescribed it?!? After several painful injections I decided the pain in my back wasn't nearly as bad as the injections (which weren't helping anyway) so I stopped seeing him. I can't seem to update the number of stars I've given him, but if I could I would change it from 4 to 2.

Very professional, answers all questions and has a sense of humor!

He's been extremely helpful each time mom has gone to see him. He's been professional & empathic. His treatment makes mom's life and my step dad's bearable. Thank goodness for Dr. Hancock! I agree they could use improvement with scheduling over the phone. Maybe it works better to go online to schedule.. I will try it.

Well I was referred to him, however I am not wanting to go... Based on the reviews I have read about him here and other sites! Has anyone found an alternative provider besides him?.. I am pain pill free for 3 years now and I don't want surgery or pain pills and/or another heartless horrifying doctor!! Thanks in advance! God bless!??

Pleaded with the doctor to offer some kind of relief when my back pain made it so I could no longer stand at work. His response was "get a different job". Refused to fill out paperwork for FMLA even though the discharge paperwork stated that I could not be on my feet or sitting up for 48 hours after receiving injections. I'm going to a different doc ASAP. Pleaded with the doctor to offer some kind of relief when my back pain made it so I could no longer stand at work. His response was "get a different job".

Not sure what these other guys are talking about. Dr Hancock is by far the best Pain Management Doctor I have ever seen.

He is an excellent doctor! Provides great treatment. He is not an extrovert! Who cares? I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

I was referred to Dr. Hancock and was worried based on the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised at how informative and knowledgeable he was. He assisted me with managing my pain, described why i was having so much pain and then referred me to a surgeon for further evaluation. His bedside manner isn't as warm as other physicians I have seen but he definitely knew his stuff and I would for sure see him again.

I brought my mother to Dr. Hancock for treatment as she was referred by her Orthopedic Surgeon. I couldn't be more pleased with his wonderful bedside manner and the way in which he treated her. He is very compassionate with her and my fingers are crossed that he can help her with her pain. Thank you Dr. Hancock!

I would not even give this man a star. He is HORRIBLE!!! He has the WORST bedside manner ever. I have has injections in my spine before from a different facility. This man doesn't even know what he is doing. I sat in my room listening to him yell at older confused patients. Today he accused me of lying and would not refill a medication he gave me that was for 1 month that I made stretch 9 weeks. He told me he is the dr and he gets to decide to refill or not refill and he decided not to refill mine and he owed me no explanation. I left in tears. This man needs to be out of business!!!

I was referred to him by my primary due to the fact that I have chronic back pain that I've had for 8 years. I had been on Vicodin for 2-3 years because that's all that would help, and I needed a different solution. Unfortunately he has a terrible attitude and I felt judged the entire time I was there. I didn't feel listened to at all, and when the one treatment he tried didn't work to the extent he wanted it to, I was then told I'm out of luck and just have to deal with it. Never went back...

There are not enough characters allowed in this comment box to describe all of the horrible things about this doctor. In a nutshell, he is cold hearted, lacks compassion for his patients who are in true pain, sets impossible requirements for patients to get refills before they run out of meds, and has a terrible bedside manner. (Telling a 65 year old who is dying from stage 4 lung cancer, as well as metastatic brain cancer "I don't care if you're dying.")

Absolutely terrible experience. Get dr Dan Hancock out of this building!!! Look at his health grade, a true loser! Grrr, fat old white men with the ego the size of whale shite

Maybe he was just having a bad day, but the doctor raised his voice in a yelling fashion when I wasn't capable of answering his question within a reasonable amount of time. He proved to have a rather disconcerting bedside mannerism. I will find another provider.
