Dr. Hans’ education gave him a solid foundation in knowledge and training upon which he built his practice. He attended Yale University in New Haven, CT, where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry in 1975. Following graduation, Dr. Hans continued on to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where he received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1979 and his Master of Science in dentistry and orthodontics in 1981.

As one of the youngest doctors ever certified by the American Board of Orthodontics in 1989, Dr. Hans continues to maintain his board certification and was one of only a handful of doctors who volunteered to be re-examined by the board again in 2003.
Dr. Hans currently teaches in the Seminar Approach to General Education (SAGEs) program at Case Western Reserve in a course entitled “Face Firstâ€, a study of the human face in society. He has also been named as one of Cleveland’s Top Dentists by Northern Ohio Live.
