Background

Dr Hanna specializes in taking care of children with growth and hormone problems including diabetes. She has enjoyed watching patients grow from infancy to adulthood under her care. She loves to teach the patients about their conditions and pediatricians how to care for patients with growth and hormone problems.

She and her husband have raised three daughters now in their twenties. She coached kids soccer. For ten years she developed the science curriculum and taught science at her children’s elementary school on her afternoons off. For fun she hikes, gardens, does yoga and reads with a cat in her lap.
