Testimonials about Dr. Scott Hacker
Excellent surgeon, outstanding staff. Dr Hacker should give seminars to other doctors on all aspects of treating patients. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation!
The surgeries were great, the first, a full knee and the second a partial knee. My life has improved 100%,I can now walk, move, get up and down without pain, I can exercise and am losing weight. My quality of life. Has improved dramatically and plan to keep improving. Thank You Dr. Hacker.
Dr Scott Hacker is a superb clinician, which goes without saying, but what actually makes him a good doctor – is a combination of skill sets that he brings to the treatment of his patients.He is unusual from many surgical Specialists, in that Dr Hacker is willing to put himself in the position of the patient, and express what he would do or want by way if surgery – if he were in the place of the patient.
Just a big thank you for my new knees. They carried me around Africa for a month and allowed me to walk with the elephants!
I had robotic partial knee replacement performed by Dr. Hacker. I am over the top thrilled with the results. I have full use of my knee with no restrictions at five weeks post op, and my scar is amazingly small and clean. I give Dr. Hacker a 5 stars !
Fabulous physician and would highly recommend. Dr. Hacker performed my husband’s shoulder surgery four years ago and did a wonderful job. My husband has full use of his arm now with no restrictions. Fast forward to October 2018, and I had robotic partial knee replacement performed by Dr. Hacker. I am over the top thrilled with the results. My brother had this robotic procedure in New York by the actual Dr. who invented it. On my behalf, my brother reached out to Dr. Pearl two years later to ask if anyone in San Diego had experience with this procedure. Dr. Pearl highly recommended Dr. Hacker as the best in San Diego. He is, not only do I have full use of my knee with no restrictions at five weeks post op, but my scar is amazingly small and clean. I give Dr. Hacker a 5 star on knees and shoulders
Just a big thank you for my new knees.
They carried me around Africa for a month and allowed me to walk with the elephants.
My knees were pain free but it was hard to stay in step with them!
Slow steps they take but travel a great distance with each step.I will send a picture of this wonderful experience.
Thanks again, Nance H.

Dr Hacker just recently completed a second procedure on me – this time a knee arthroscopy. Dr Scott Hacker is a superb clinician, which goes without saying, but what actually makes him a good doctor – is a combination of skill sets that he brings to the treatment of his patients. Remembering that the term “doctor” means teacher – he tries to educate, explain, provide understanding & assurance, which combined with his extraordinary friendly disposition, allows his patients to trust him personally; and to accept his recommendations for care. He is unusual from many surgical Specialists, in that Dr Hacker is willing to put himself in the position of the patient, and express what he would do or want by way if surgery – if he were in the place of the patient. This is vital, in my opinion, for making the best treatment decisions.
I have been a healthcare administrator for over 45 years, and literally know, & have worked with, hundreds of physicians, with the vast preponderance being surgeons. In my opinion, Dr Scott Hacker is among the very best. Personally, I will see no other Orthopaedic Specialist.
Had a great day on the slopes and the partial knees were awesome!!!!! …..thanks…David

“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.”
