The “Tahoe Natural Medical Center” is Dr. Hanson’s own practice in South Lake Tahoe. He has been an associate doctor with Dr. Frank Shallenberger MD at The Nevada Center in Carson City for seven years. Dr. Shallenberger is well known throughout the United States for his pioneering work using ozone gas (Prolozone) for treating chronic joint pains and acute injuries. This is what brought Dr. Hanson to this region from the Pacific Northwest, to learn this therapy and acquire the skill to use it effectively.

He has been walking the talk since he was 12 years old, drinking wheat grass shots and carrot juice. He spent 3 fulfilling years working on an organic farm as well as 10 years in the natural food industry. He was born and grew up in Minnesota, which explains his strong work ethic! He lived in Seattle (Go Hawks!) for a number of years, and moved to South Lake Tahoe in the fall of 2010 and is happy to call paradise his home.
