About David Hatcher, MD

I am committed to delivering safe, high-quality care and have been designated a Surgeon of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, following professional sports, listening to all kinds of music and podcasts and exploring San Diego with my dog.

Dr Hatcher is a busy man. Too busy if u ask me. He juggles it around and runs from one room to the next. Sharp needs to hire more urologists to lighten his caseload

It was my first visit with Dr. David Hatcher. I was referred to him by Dr. Michael Martin. Dr. Hatcher was through, knowledgeable and provided me with an overview of my condition. He ordered an additional test for a month from now and said he would reach out with the results of that test.
