He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I’ve ever had. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic, sympathetic, and caring. He’s also a genuinely nice guy too. I would give him more than 5 stars if I could.

I had my first visit with Dr. Hackett yesterday. He seemed very thorough and has great bedside manner. Since I have had previous nerve damage and cervical surgery, I was pleasantly surprised that he wanted to do some additional testing before discussing any type of surgical procedure to my shoulder. I appreciated his transparency and professional thought process for treating me. My first impression is very good.
