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. Saw him after being told by a doctor at Kaiser to just go home and wait until I needed a full knee replacement. I initially found Dr. Hacker through my own research online after that and went to see him on my own dime. I knew from that one visit with him that he would be my future doctor. I was that impressed at first meeting. Took me a couple of years to get under the right insurance for Dr. Hacker. Both my knees were bone on bone and I lived the past 2 years mostly sitting in my living room chair because walking was too painful. I lived with every cream, ointment, wraps, knee braces, tylenol, Tramadol, ice packs.....NOTHING gave relief. Dr. Hacker just now completed 2 partial knee replacements on me ....June 8 and Sept 14...... 90 days apart. At age 77 and otherwise blessed with the gift of great health Dr. Hacker has given me a whole new life. I had a normal amount of fear in the weeks prior to surgery. And probably more thoughts crossed my mind in the couple of days before. When I felt that I just thought of Dr. Hacker and my faith in him calmed me. Surgery day with all the flurry of nurses around you at the 6 am surgery prep when Dr. Hacker's wonderful face appeared when he walked in to put his initials on my knee he was a beautiful sight to me. I looked at him feeling "I've got the best of the best doctor"! I couldn't have been happier to see him in that moment---BOTH TIMES!! Two perfect surgeries with Dr. Hacker using a robot done at Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa. I read that use of the robot allows faster healing since its precision causes less tissue damage. Walking my little dogs and dancing every day to music are two of my greatest pleasures now. All thanks to the most wonderful Dr. Scott Hacker! Valerie

Could not have chose a better doctor for my hip replacement!

Dr Hacker is the best Dr. I have ever seen. He is caring, genuine and technically brilliant. Who would've thought that these types of Drs still existed? I cannot speak more highly of him. The consummate, caring , beyond incredible Dr. He came highly recommended from a friend and I cannot be more thankful for having talked to him about my very complex situation. A one off. Be very VERY thankful if you have him as your Dr. He is one n a MILLION.

Dr. Hacker makes you feel like he cares from the moment he meets you. He is honest, does not waste your time, and is a very talented doctor. Two co-workers recommended him to me and I have since recommended him to others. He helped me with my broken elbow and I went back to him for help with my knee injury. He has a conservative approach to surgery but is also the chief of orthopedic surgery at two major hospitals. I would recommend him to ANYONE!

I have not seen this doctor yet but upon calling his office I was introduced to a lady named Megan who answered the phone. She is abrasive to say the least! When you call ask for Carmen she is a very nice and caring person, she will help you with what you need. I was hoping to get into see the doctor soon (since I can't put weight on my knee) so she found a spot for me and then went so far as to have a nurse call me to help with how I should care for it until my appointment.

Wow. I have never met such a caring and compassionate physician. He invested himself into my concerns, never rushed my appointments, and has me back to 100%. I send him all my friends and family. I would never see another orthopedist anywhere. Dr. Hacker has my complete trust.

Scott did a total knee replacement on a very damaged knee 5 years ago. The results were fantastic, far exceeding my expectations. Recovery was fast, range of motion great, no residual pain. Just fantastic. I was 55 at the time.

awesome doc - very honest, very conservative ~ will not cut unless absolutely necessary!

Rating of 10. My surgery went so very well because Dr. made me feel so confident in him because he is such a fine and caring DR.

DR Hacker is one of the best doctors i have come acrossed, he has always taken time for my questions and i have high hopes for what i have to go through. ulnar nerve entrapment and rotator cuff surgery.i've done my reserach on both.i will right again after i have them..Elnora McCain of Ca.
