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.

Everyone was very thoughtful and patient with me. I had just one of my hearing aids so very hard for me to hear clearly but they made sure I understood all what I needed to do for the next five days. I thank everyone so much for being so patient with me. Thanks again!

Excellent Visit
I was greeted promptly and professionally. My wait time was almost none. Xrays in and out in no time at all. Examination and diagnosis was accurate and caring. Cortisone shot was painless.

Dr. Hackel is the best of the best. He is caring and doesn’t want you to be in pain. I’ve been seeing him for years and keeps my knees working. He also put the stimulators in both legs. I trust him 100%. He also does surgery on lots of famous sports figures. Don’t waste your time going any where else. His staff is also amazing.

Dr. Hackel is wonderful, explains well and not rus
I find Dr. Hackel extremely informative and also listens to me. Answers my questions and doesn’t appear to be-in a rush. Very professional but gentle at the same time. I would and have highly recommend him to friends and relatives. I am actually from GA. and over stayed my time in Pensacola to have Dr. Hackel implant a PSN for me. That procedure went very well and I am looking forward to my follow up appointment.
