I am absolutely shocked and saddened by the news. Dr. Hansen's preventative care helped address a potentially life-threatening health issue for me a few years back. He was an outstanding doctor and I will miss his expert care. My condolences to his family and friends.

Dr Mark Hansen was the best doctor I have ever run across. He has known me since I was born and gave me every piece of advice on getting in to med school. I wish I coulud have actually spent time with him to learn how he became so great.

I first met Mark in 1987 at the Madison Athletic Club where we were members. His political and social views were shared good naturedly. I also worked with him as an RN at St Mary's hospital. I came to appreciate him as an excellent physician as well as a the enjoyable good natured person I knew socially. I will miss him as will his patients i am sure.

Dr Hansen is the first doctor I ever felt comfortable with. I am irrationally fearful of all things medical but Dr. Hansen made it possible for me to truly understand my health. I am shocked and so saddened by this news. A class act. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Dr Mark Hansen was very thoughful and considerate to his patients. I was treated with compassion by him and also witnessed him teaching fellow physicians. I also was touched by his kindness to his coworkers and friendliness to those around him. His patients had complete trust in him and often requested to speak directly to him when in doubt of their care.He never put on airs. Dean has lost a great physician. Dawn daSilva RN

I feel a tremendous loss in losing Dr Hansen. He was my mothers and my doctor for almost 20 years. he made it very easy to talk to him about anything, I will miss him terribly. his famlily and close friends will be in my thoughts and prayers over the holidays and days to come. He was a very special person that touched many lives in and out of the office. Going to the Dr office will never be the same. God Bless him Pamela Menning Madison Wis

We will miss Mark greatly. We didn't get to see him often, even though we don't live that far apart. Work schedules and busy lives just got in the way. How unfortunate - you think you will always have more time . . .

My dad was Mark's best friend through high school in New Berlin. They kept in touch throughout the years off & on. I always loved the quirky Christmas card he would send each year, will miss seeing that among my parents cards this year.

I really enjoyed my walks down the tunnel at St Mary's with Mark on our ways to and from rounds (I'm a urologist with Dean). I learned a surpising amount about his world view and travels in these brief, but repeated, meetings and always looked forward to our next exchange. Mark's openness/candor is refreshing; not an ounce of pretense. We will miss him, and I send my condolences to his loved ones.
