Meet Dr. Hansen

Originally from Toledo, Dr. Sarah Hansen is excited to be back home as the newest doctor on the HLS team.  She loves working with patients of all ages, and is inspired by the many changes that occur within patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.  Being able to witness the transformation, dentally and holistically, is the most rewarding aspect of her profession.  Not only is she able to achieve straighter, healthier teeth for her patients, but she also loves the confidence a new smile can bring.
