Overview

Growing up in a small town in Lebanon, I witnessed many people struggle with their ailments due to inadequate access to health care. This inspired me to become a doctor who advocates for his patients and enhances their quality of life. I approach each patient as a unique individual, taking the time to listen carefully and develop a personalized treatment plan together. My goal is to empower patients to lead healthier lives by involving them in the medical decision-making process. Outside of medicine, I enjoy nature hikes, trying new restaurants, and supporting my favorite sports teams.

Dr. Hanna is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Gallstones. His top areas of expertise are Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Endoscopy, and Lung Transplant.
