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.

Dr. Tucker preformed an emergency surgery on my husband and saved his life. He has done 3 surgeries total. I am positive my husband is alive because of Dr Tucker! As the entire hospital knows, I'm a difficult spouse... I couldn't be happier with Dr Tucker.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Tucker?
His staff has been nothing but RUDE! Tried to get an appointment and the only thing the nurse knew how to say was, "Get your general doctor to run tests and then give a referral". Tried to find out what the tests were that were required and she repeated herself. Cannot say that they have a good patient rapport. Got a referral for a different doctor with NO further tests needed. HORRID
