Dr. George F. Hatch III, MD, Los Angeles CA

I visited with Dr. Hatch to get a second opinion on my frozen shoulder and I’m glad I did. He was patient, very knowledgeable and explained everything very thoroughly. Overall great bedside manner. Highly recommend Dr. Hatch to anyone looking for an orthopedic specialist.

Dr Hatch repaired my ACL and Meniscus tears 4 years ago from a wrestling match I had endured 10 years prior to the surgery. I put it off out of fear of getting put under and I had lifted around the injury for stability. My short term solution started to fail as I aged and I surrendered once a friend recommended this surgeon. I’m a heavyweight athlete that has always been comfortable putting my body at risk, and he recommended I use my patella for the tissue. The recovery was harder than I thought, but 6 months later I was surfing. A year later I was comfortable skiing. And 1.5 years later back to wrestling, an activity that I had written off as something I would never be able to do again. I cannot recommend this surgeon enough. He was professional and friendly and made me feel like more than a number. But most importantly, my knee, 4 years after the surgery, is in perfect shape.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hatch. He's is a caring and kind and every good word in the book. He cares about his patients and his work and is absolutely brilliant. I would recommend him to anyone.

If you want to see a doctor who won’t show, will give you to one of his fellows who gives you terrible advice, and then incorrectly fills out your MRI form so insurance blocks it- go to this incompetent yahoo.
