About David M. Hatcher, MD
For me, there was no greater calling than to care for the sick, which is why I chose to pursue medicine. My goal is to provide the highest level of patient care with compassion. 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.

Every person's experience with a physician depends on their own advocacy for their health information and treatment plan. Since I am a very involved in educated patient, my experience is usually excellent and in this case was also excellent.
