On time, very knowledgeable, and took the time to explain in detail my issue and treatment.
My first time visit with Dr. Hackel and was totally pleased. Very personable and super nice guy! He gave me a Hyaluronic injection and it worked instantly. 😎
Dr Hackel spends time with me and answers all my questions. Other doctors sometimes seem like they’re in a sprinter’s stance and just can’t wait to bolt from the room.
Very professional and caring!
Most trusted doctor I’ve had in a long time. Incredible at explaining things. Makes you feel special!
