He has helped me with my knee since I have been coming to him. I have recommended him to my friends and family members, because I feel that he listens to what you are saying and explaining to him and if he doesn't understand what you are saying then he will ask you to show him what it is plus he's through with his patients and takes the time with them that he needs. He explains what he's going to do, what the problem is, then explains how to fix it or how soon it needs to be fixed in other words how long you can wait to get it fixed. My Mom sees him for both of her knees and she is very satisfied with the care that he has given to her and me. My husband's knees are starting to give him some problems and I told him that I don't want anyone else to mess with his knees except for Dr Hackel, because I just know that he will get some relief from Dr Hackel giving him the best care that he has given to me and my Mom.

I have been seeing Dr. Hackel for several different problems every few years over a 10 year period. First, second and third procedures were because of tendinitis in my knees. One knee had to be repeated because of torn cartilage years later. Each time I was treated with stem cell, prp . Each time I got to him, especially the first time I hadn’t been able to walk for months. I was lucky enough to be referred to him by a prominent Orthopaedic Dr. in South Florida who tried but couldn’t help me. I truly love Dr. Hackel. As I write this I’m sitting in a hotel in Gulf Breeze after a corticosteroid diagnostic injection into my hip because of ongoing pain. After the injection I walked out pain free and not limping. He treats 100’s of Professional athletes across the nation. I’m always amazed at how he treats me as if I was a Professional athlete headed to the Super Bowl. He’s 10-15 years younger than me, I pray I always will have him to call on when I need him for any future ailments.

5+!! I'm a nurse and, as such, a terrible patient. I saw Dr. Hackle and his team this morning and it was absolutely the best experience. Most efficiently run office I have ever visited. Fast diagnostic radiology and physical assessment. In and out with solid plan of care in under 30 minutes. If you need a bone/joint specialist, I highly recommend Dr. Hackle and his team of very pleasant professionals!

A patient can see if a Doctor is really tuned in to them or if he/she is just trying to get insurance money. Dr. Hackel REALLY cares about his patients. He always recognizes me and knows my file no matter how long it has been since I saw him. The way he treats his patients is excellent. His staff is also excellent. From the time you walk in until you leave they know who you are, what your problem is and are always willing to help. They don't just act like they care, they really do. I am so pleased with the results of my treatment and highly recommend Dr. Josh Hackel. Also, I appreciate that they value my time. I have never had to sit and wait for hours for my appointment. They keep to the schedule and recognize that their patients' time is as important as that of the doctor.

I have been to see Dr. Hackel several times over the past years as my hips have had trouble. I don't know how I could have better care. He spends time with you, asks detailed questions about how you are doing, and explains what he is going to do and why. I also think that the dynamics with the other Doctors at Andrews is great. One time, several years ago, he called in others, and I had three doctors looking at my Xrays and discussing the best course of action. Recommend him highly, and I will be back.

I have been in the military system my whole life born, raised, and joined the military, that being said "I never knew how bad we had it as far as service members were concerned". Military service member's facilities and Veterans affairs are called "medical hobby shops" for a reason (Veterans are used as Guinea pigs). Going to this facility and meeting Dr. Hackel was like being in a wonderland of care and good service. It actually made me feel anxious about being there since things went soooooo smoothly (wierd). Thank you for helping me. My shoulder has been damaged since 1997 and this is the first time since my injury I have had it treated. Reason being I lost total confidence in the "Hobby shops" the government provides (rub some dirt on it and here is some motrin LMAO). I actually pray for the VA and military personnel since we are just 2% of the United States population that sign a contract to defend this country with a debt of up and to our' deaths... Semper Fidelis men and women in uniform and those who served. Thank you for your service and thanks to all those who have died for our freedom RIP. May God bless the Veterans around the globe and grant us safe harbor and care. In Jesus's name Amen

Five weeks ago Dr. Hackel performed outpatient Tenex procedure on one of my Achilles tendons. I wish I had visited him years ago! I am a runner and became more of a racewalker in the last few years because of my Achilles pain. I would racewalk through the pain, and I kept trying to "take care" of my tendonitis that turned into tendinosis, but to no avail. I am now in no pain and am able to walk without pain. I will be back to running in a few months and can't wait! It's definitely worth the time, effort, and money if any of you are suffering with ailments in which he can help! I am so happy and motivated now to get back to the lifestyle I have missed. The word "ecstatic" is more like it!

After total knee replacement in 2017 I was diagnosed with arthrofibrosis. This condition causes my body to produce excessive scar tissue around my knee. In order to keep the range of motion that I had become accustomed to I needed to stay active daily. This daily activity of exercising my knee would help to "break up" scar tissue as it formed. I continue to have great flexibility and motion, however the "breaking up" and "tearing up" of the scar tissue kept my knee in chronic pain. Dr. Hackel at The Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze Florida (a 3 hour drive from my home) was recommended to me. I made the consult appointment and thereafter followed Dr. Hackel's recommendation about considering Radiofrequency Ablation. I chose RFA and am now 7 weeks past my procedure. I have been pain free since the procedure! Being in chronic pain effected so many areas of my personal life. I am thankful to Dr. Hackel for his expertise and being instrumental in helping get my life back....minus the chronic pain!

I’ve been Dr. Hackel’s patient for six years (since moving to Gulf Breeze from Chattanooga, TN). I think what I like best about him, aside from his superb skill as an orthopedic surgeon, is his authentic interest in me as a person. Dr. Hackel spends quality time with me on every visit, inquiring about details of my career. His TLC of my oh-so-arthritic joints is most special and valued.

Dr. Hackel extracted and used my own stem cells to treat my arthritic hip joint. In the eight months since the procedure, I have enjoyed a significant reduction of the pain experienced when walking. My hope is that this procedure can lead to the rebuilding of joint cartilage, resulting in the avoidance of hip replacement surgery.

Dr. Hackel was great! I have two bad knees and he did everything short of knee replacement. He completed two nerve ablations on both knees, which helped me get through several vacations, Christmas and other activities. He has helped me avoid knee replacement for a couple of years. I could not find a doctor in Mobile that would even talk about the ablations. He is very easy to talk with and listens to your problem. Thank you Dr. Hackle.

I don't know that I have ever met a more caring physician before! He takes the time to explain things to you and he is always willing to spend time with you unlike some other doctors who are in a rush to get patients in and out. Dr. Hackel has so many options available that keep you from having to see the inside of an operating room. I would highly recommend Dr. Hackel if you are looking for any type of non-invasive treatment! And the office staff is so friendly and easy to work with! You won't be let down if you see Dr. Hackel! He is excellent!!

I had bone marrow extracted from my hip,then injected into my knee. I was expecting "killer" pain, and it never happened!?? Dr. Hackel is an amazing doctor and has a true gift not only in making his patients feel totally comfortable, explaining exactly what the procedure entailed, but then making the process painless! I have and will continue to refer him-he is my Hero!!
