This was my first appointment with Doctor Han. I have prostate cancer and sought his expertise based in several recommendations. It was one of the most positive interactions I have ever had with a physician. It is clear why he is so well regarded. His assistant, [staff], has also been fantastic to deal with. She is responsive, kind, professional, and diligent! I love John Hopkins.

I wanted to talk more in-depth with the provider about my condition, but all the doctor kept telling me was I was worrying about my condition when I had no need to be worried. In fact I was not worrying about my condition, I came to Johns Hopkins for a second opinion on my condition and I wanted answers to some questions but the doctor did not seem like he wanted to take the time to answer my questions. I drove over 2 hours for the appointment and left very disappointed in the visit.
