I have a very hard time with doctors and for them to actually take time and listen to me. Dr. Hackett really impressed me with how he explained and took the time to REALLY listen. He was honest when he said he was not sure about a medical issue and said he would take time to contact a neurosurgeon to make sure he could provided me with the best care. I was very impressed with his care and look forward to be working with him.

Dr Hackett literally saved my life! I am serious, he had to give me rescue breaths when I went unresponsive. Not only did he save my like but he did an excellent job on my surgery!

Dr. Hackett was very thorough in his explanation of my condition. He brought forwards options I could try to elevate my back pain until I am ready to undergo surgery. I appreciate that he provided the details of the recovery process which is helpful in my planning of an opportune time to undergo the surgery in the future.
