Was my first time seeing him. He was very nice, and listened. He is trying to help. Have no results to commit about yet. Being scheduled for tests in order to see what my problem is. Will go from there, and will commit and rate later if anything is done.

Dr. Daniel Hackett grew up in Montgomery, Alabama. He graduated magna cum laude from Washington & Lee University, where he played wide receiver for the varsity football team. He earned his medical degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine and completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the Medical College of Georgia. Afterward, he pursued an additional year of training as a fellow in shoulder and elbow surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center.
Dr. Hackett places great emphasis on patient-directed care. He believes that taking the time to develop a relationship with each patient ensures that both he and the patient can work together to develop an informed decision, and ultimately, a great outcome. His clinical interests include arthroscopic and open management of complex shoulder and elbow issues. His expertise involves arthroscopic management of rotator cuff tears and instability, shoulder replacement surgery, including reverse total shoulder replacement and revision treatment for painful and infected shoulder replacements. He also spent a great deal of his training focusing on the surgical management of some less common shoulder abnormalities, such as scapular winging and sternoclavicular joint abnormalities.
Dr. Hackett's research interests include outcomes in primary and failed shoulder replacement and the management of infection following shoulder replacement.
Dr. Hackett lives in Lexington. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, fitness, sports, the outdoors, music and travel.
