We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

“GIVEN A NEW LIFE BY DR. HACKER....NO MORE PAIN IN EITHER KNEE!!! Dr. Hacker was sent from Heaven I'm sure!!! He is beyond wonderful. A warm and caring doctor that puts you at ease and gives you his complete attention focusing on your pain and so thoroughly giving you your options. Both my knees were bone on bone. Dr. Hacker just completed 2 partial knee replacements back to back June and Sept. Dr. Hacker is just a warm and caring and special doctor. I think of him every day as I can now walk my dogs, and dance around to music I love. On the day of each of my surgeries when he appeared to initial my knee...I looked at him thinking "I've got the best of the best doctor". Can't put a price on that calm feeling. Dr. Hacker's entire office staff are all just wonderful as well. I couldn't have felt more personally cared for and attended to every step of the way by their help and guidance.

With out a doubt I would recommend Dr. Hacker. Scott treated me with true care and concern. I was overly confident in his ability and he balanced that out with a skill of listening. Dr. Hacker is a complete package!

I had Dr. Scott Hacker diagnose the usage and pain severity on both shoulders. one shoulder is shot, as in basically, non operational and the other shoulder not far behind. I figured that would be the results due to age and my physical work ethic. I'm 2 months away from 80 and was born and raised on a dairy then worked construction the next 40 years. SO, yes I anticipated the results. Dr. Hacker was very gentle and guinely concerned for my health regarding my shoulders. He's a great man and Dr. I would 100% recomment Dr. Hacker for any orthopedic needs or surgeries. 12 years ago he did a partial knee and I have NEVER, ever had a problem with it. Thank you Dr. Hacker, YOU'RE THE BEST.

Dr. Hacker has seen me as a patient for a few years due to issues with my left knee. I opted for injections for awhile but had to have knee scoped last July and then ultimately had to have a partial replacement in Dec 2016. Doctor Hacker is professional , personable, explains in detail why he feels each procedure is necessary and has been so accurate with what to expect. One of the most amazing talents Dr.Hacker has is his abilty to leave minimal scaring. Would never go to anyone else!
