I feel truly blessed to have been referred to Dr Hacker for my knee replacement surgery. From my first interaction with his staff for an appointment, to pre op, surgery & post op, everything went smoothly. Recovery was much easier than I anticipated. I felt valued & understood. The entire team made my experience a positive one. Should I need another surgery for another knee or orthopedic problem, I’m reassured knowing I can count on Dr Hacker.

It was my 1 year check on the knee replacement and I am satisfied with the results. It has been nice to not have the pain anymore and the surgery went well. I am able to do most things. Dr. Hacker did a great job, thanks.

I went in for a cortisone shot in my knee. This is the second injection he has given me. He is the BEST at giving injections. And he always answers all questions. I love him and his entire staff!!
