Dr. Hackel is fantastic. Highly recommended. He fixed my Elbow with one PRP (Platelet Riched Plasma) injection. He told me to take it lightly in the gym and also try BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) therapy. It all worked my tendon looks healed in six weeks. I plan on continuing with the BFR for six months. As he said, 'Bull your 62 not 22.' I will be back to 22 feeling with this Elbow repair by then.

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.

Dr. Hackel did his usual superb job. I had gel injections previously by a different provider - and they hurt A LOT! On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being going into shock, I would put them at a 9. Dr. Hackel used a completely different technique and it was more of a discomfort level of about 3.5-4. Great Job.

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.

Dr. Hackel has been the physician who has relieved me of over 7 years worth of extreme knee pain. I would recommend him to anyone who needs pain relief. I was not required to go on pain meds at all. He was able to completely alleviate my pain using RFA.

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!

Doctor Hackel took the time to listen to my concerns and didn't rush through the appointment. I've had providers that seem to be in a big hurry and didn't really seem to listen to what I was saying, but not this doctor. I've been having shoulder pain for just short of a year, and my previous provider sent me to physical therapy, and that was it. Shoulder still bothering me, I see Dr. Hackel, and my symptoms have most definitely improved. Based on how things are going, I think my shoulder will be back to normal soon, after only being under his care for about two months.

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!
