I couldn’t ask for a better person and doctor. I feel like he’s not only my doctor but he’s like family to me like a younger brother and he always has to time to go through all the stuff and answer questions and I always enjoy being able to see him and I thank him for everything he has done for me. Dr Hackett is the best friend and doctor I know

Wait time was a little long but I expected that in a specialty practice. I sought out a second opinion for a shoulder injury with lingering pain & limited ROM. Finally a physician that has a plan of care for me.

Professional, personable, and he listens. Many physicians don’t listen, Dr.Hackett does.
He previously fixed my other shoulder and it works flawlessly. I have all confidence my other shoulder will be the same. I highly recommend him.
