Your trust is our top concern.

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.

Great doctor
Was diagnosed with early stage uterine cancer by my gyno, and she referred me to Dr Hackett. Went in for the appointment and instantly felt at ease. He spoke first with my husband and I then examed me and then brought us both in office and explained everything in detail, including all the options available. A few weeks later he proformed a complete hysterectomy. The care I received from him, his staff and the staff at Community Medical was fantastic. I would highly recommend him.

I was referred to Dr Hackett by my GYN. I called two or three times for an appt. Finally got a return call and missed it by less than 10 seconds. I called back immediately and was transferred to the lady that supposedly called me. I got her voicemail, left a message and she NEVER called me again. That didn't make me feel very warm and fuzzy in such a serious situation. I ended up making an appointment with a different specialist. The writing was on the wall in my mind.

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2016. Dr. Hackett was recommended to me by a doctor at Community Medical Center's ER. I was admitted and Dr. Hackett's associate Dr. K came to the hospital to see me the next day, which was a Sunday! I lover her immediately. My complete hysterectomy was done 2 days later and both doctors operated. They were absolutely wonderful on all levels and their follow up care in the office was and is great! I was just there yesterday-everyone is so nice and attentive

The office staff is very unprofessional. I called to schedule an appointment for my mom and they made me feel like I was bothering them. I understand the doctor needs to review records first but to take a week to call back is to schedule an appointment is too long for someone who received a cancer diagnosis. By the time I received a call we had already seen another docotor. Time is of the essence with cancer. Seems like this office doesn’t have compassion for people,

Dr Hackett was extremely professional and caring. Because of a previous operation I was unable to have an MRI. Dr. Hackett's coordinator, Jess, scheduled me for my procedure immediately. Monmouth Medical Center was fabulous. Under very worrisome circumstances, Dr. Hackett and his staff were amazing. I am thankful to have received such wonderful care!

Dr Hackett was recommended by my ONCOLOGY RN friend who does not work for him. He's been excellent with my cervical cancer care. Great, wonderful bedside manner which is rare now.
