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.

My wife and I had an appointment for our yearly eye exam. The front desk gave us exceptional service, and the medical staff was professional, efficient and friendly. Dr Tucker completed the eye exam and explained his findings in a clear and easy to understand manner. We are extremely pleased with Dr. Tucker and his staff.

My family & I have been using Dr. Tucker for for over 20 years. We trust him completely. He and his staff listen well and explain things thoroughly; very patient centric. In this time we've had only one disconnect with scheduling. He's about to do his 5th cataract surgery for us, and I recommend him without reservation.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tucker for many years & have always found him to be honest, knowledgable & caring. He listens to my concerns & questions & always explains things so that I can understand. His staff has always been friendly & helpful. Unless they are fitting me into the schedule because I have a problem, the wait time is short. If there is a problem, they are quick to let me know.
