Dr. Gloria Tucker, MD

Dr. Tucker is a superb doctor, but more importantly practices medicine with a heart to treat and heal. My daughter has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Dr. Tucker has been the ONLY doctor who did not Google this disease as we sat in their office needing treatment or knowledge of how to live with this disease. Dr. Tucker herself has EDS, so it is a tremendous comfort to be seen by a professional who has intimate knowledge and empathy of and with this disease, knows the chronic pain that accompanies this disease and offers treatment that can relieve people's suffering from this disease. The PRP, Prolotherapy treatments have helped my daughter with movement and pain. Moreover, that act of taking the time needed to listen to my daughter, not discount her or the disease, and not be limited to treatments or medications that are solely limited to the insurance companies discretion, approval and profit are testimonies to Dr. Tucker's (and Paul's) vocations of helping and healing. -- Thank you Dr.

I went to Dr. Tucker for PRP injections to eliminate my back pain caused by lifting weights last December. I couldn't stand, sit, or lie down without pain. I had tried ibuprofen and got no relief. I tried a chiropractor for 2 months and only got worse. Having attended several veterinary lectures on PRP injections in animals and seeing how successful it was, I went to Dr. Tucker for treatment. I found her to be knowledgeable, thorough, and competent. She listened to my concerns, evaluated x-rays and my gait and isolated the area of injury. She administered prolotherapy with slight success and then 7 weeks later PRP. Now 7 weeks since the PRP treatment and this 76 year old can sleep at night, do chores, hike the hills, and start exercising again, all with no pain!

Gloria Tucker is an extraordinarily knowledgeable and skilled physician who has deep empathy for her patients, particularly those of us who, like her, are hypermobile. Her education and specialty credentials are impeccable when it comes to Prolotherapy and PRP, and she has been instructing other physicians for many years. Her PRP treatment of my spine, SI joints, sacrum and pelvis, has dramatically reduced my back pain and hypermobility and impressed my chiropractor, who said he's never seen such stabilizing results in patients who have received PRP from other physicians. In the past, I received knee PRP from another physician who did not use the guidance of ultrasound, hit the wrong spot, and caused me severe knee pain and swelling. Believe me, you don't want to get PRP from just anybody. I highly recommend Dr. Tucker.

Caring front desk staff, client-centered intake and assessment, safe and effective treatment. Having been to several doctors for prolotherapy, Dr. Tucker is among the finest.

I was treated by Dr. Tucker six weeks ago for my knee pain. I am so grateful that my friend recommended Dr. Tucker. The pain is 70 % less then before I got the PRP injections. I still have pain but I can manage it with atopic pain cream. While on vacation, I was able to walk five miles, something I was not able to do for two and a half years! Dr. Tucker is not only very knowledgeable but she is empathetic and kind and treats you without judgment. Thank you so much Dr. Tucker!

I spent two years in constant pain in my hips when I walked. I have been to five doctors at Kaiser, two orthopedic an 3 physical medicine doctors. I was told not to walk, do yoga, try an anti inflammatory diet. But one of the orthopedic doctors put a bug in my ear (off the record)about PRP injections he had heard that people were having good results. I found doctor Tucker online had a consultation then I had PRP injections in my hips within six weeks I was pain free. Doctor Tucker is an amazing doctor who genuinely cares about her patients. Doctor Tucker was so passionate about the injections while she was working at Kaiser that she had the courage to leave and pursue the kind of care she went to medical school to be doctor for. There are very few doctors that we see anymore that are not on a 20 minute office visit and then kicking you to the curb. If you are frustrated and in pain pick up the phone and call Doctor Tuckers office won’t regret it.

Dr. Tucker has been taking care of my unstable sacroiliac for more than 10 years. She is personable, knowledgeable, attentive, communicates clearly and is very kind. With prolotherapy she has stabilized my lower back. The procedure is nearly painless and it allows me, at age 80, to enjoy an active life. I am deeply grateful for her expertise and care.

Doctor Tucker is nothing short of amazing. In just three treatments she was able to rid me of a chronic pain in my pelvis that had been with me for many years. Aside from all that, Doctor Tucker is very experienced, insightful and thoughtful and is able to convey the treatment taking place in a very understandable way to her patient. I am very thankful to having met her and having her treat me.

My treatment with Dr. Tucker was such a gift to my back, my body, and my mind and I certainly didn't anticipate or expect the results that I'm currently experiencing. I've been suffering from back pain for 30 years due to scoliosis and many years as a gymnast and a runner and WOW, what an awakening! Dr. Tucker spoke to me as an intelligent adult, a human, a friend, as someone in need of her healing, not as just another medical record numbered patient, I would say, super lovely and Zen. The treatment has done wonders... I'm sleeping better and then jumping out of bed (gently), I'm walking daily, my energy level has increased, my attitude and outlook have been boosted, I feel fantastic. Thank You Dr. Tucker!

Dr Tucker is an accomplished and highly trained MD who pursued learning and then teaching Prolo therapy. She became dissatisfied with the approach to chronic pain of most physicians in practice today. She will use either prolo or PRP injections for the patients’ joints (shoulder, hip/back etc) . Having suffered from recurrent (weekly) sacroiliac instability/dislocation, it was a relief to finally have a treatment that has really helped stabilize my back. She listens well, is compassionate and highly competent. I am grateful for her care AND the results!!!

Over 30 years ago, I was inspired by Dr, Tucker. She was active in wanting to learn more about the athletic body when stressed and in need of repair. As runners we compared notes. Opps! that is a lot of time to find I needed this therapy but not for running, I had a shoulder and knee injury from walking into a door in the hospital not running, that was chronic. Dr Tucker is amazing I am glad I found her doing the PRP work. On the follow up call, by Dr Tucker, I announced success and full rotation has returned. I needed just a little help from my own blood and this modality works. I highly suggests you take your injuries to Dr Tucker. She knows every inch of the muscularity in our bodies. She pointed out other pains which to me was so intuitive. She is a wonderful person, empathetic and sincere. One of a few excellent Doctors I know. I believe 100% in Dr. Tucker.

Ihave heard so many good things about this doctor, but I did not want to get my hopes up. My right knee was very unstable and painful. I had had surgery for my ACL which did not really help things at all. So I saw Dr. Tucker to see if she could help stabilize my knee and improve my pain. First of all, she is the real article. She did an exam on me like no one else ever has. As though, finally, someone was really seeing and understanding my problem. Then we decided that her treatment would probably help me. She told me she was not sure it would help me 100%. We started with dextrose prolotherapy which improved my symptoms a little bit, but then we went to PRP. This helped me so much. The knee is better by leaps and bounds. I have to admit it is not completely better but it has improved so much and I am so grateful that I went to see Dr. Tucker. You really should not have any hesitation at all to see this doctor. She won’t push you. She will tell you the situation and give

I was thrilled with Dr. Tucker and her office! I have relief from pain in both my shoulder and knee joints from her treatments. Her office combines real efficiency and professionalism with a loving, personal caring environment.
