Dr Hackett is friendly and kind to patients. He explained what might be wrong with my shoulder, the right one; which was done most recently. He thinks part of the mechanism is loose or broken and the socket is not a good fit anymore. He said when they get in there I could possibly have to have the rod through the humerus replaced also. My right shoulder, which Sajadi did, is the one that keeps popping partially out of joint. It is very painful but I have been able to get it back in place. I have never had any trouble with my left shoulder Hackett did five years ago. He listens and tells you the truth even if it isn’t what you had hoped for. Hackett will repair my right arm July 2 and could possibly have to do the whole operation over again

I would recommend Dr. Hackett. He did an excellent job repairing my bicep. He is laid back, listens and treats people with respect. He even stopped and talked to my wife and I on his way out of the surgery center while I was in recovery. He has a great bedside manner.

I've been a nurse for 35 years and worked with many providers over that time. Dr Hackett is one of the best I've ever met and takes great care of his patients. My shoulder and bicep repair went so smooth and the recovery was better than I had anticipated!
