Marlee Hansen, DDS, MS

Why did you become a physician/provider? Initially, I didn’t have clearly defined reasons, but now I feel lucky I decided to go down this path. I love being an advocate for families. I like to respond to their concerns and help them feel relieved and confident that we have a good plan.

What qualities best describe the care you provide to your patients? Patient and family centered: I try to individualize care and find something that will work for each child to get them where they need to go. I empower parents to make decisions. 

Being a healthcare provider, what drives/motivates you each day? I’m driven by quality and safety and always looking for ways to improve care and the experience families have. I encourage everone to give feedback!

Personal Interests: Camping, visiting national parks, walking, reading and family time.
