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 is the real deal!
No drive by 5 minute consult with Dr Tucker.He is kind, wants to know his patient, explains in detail, answers all questions and we had no wait to be seen.His surgery scheduler, Susan, is very helpful, gives details of pre-surgery as well as day of surgery. Dr.Tucker and Susan are beyond a 10I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Most awesome surgeon!
Dr Tucker is a brilliant, kind and attentive surgeon. We feel very blessed to have found him. He explains everything in detail and puts your mind at ease. His knowledge and kind spirit is what makes him unique. He spends a lot of time with you, which is hard to find these days. I never worried or hesitated once I met him. He is a truly superb doctor!!

Best bedside manner
Dr. Tucker removed a lipoma from my back. I was beyond nervous and that first visit to see him put all of my fears at ease. Surgery went well and Dr. Tucker was very reassuring during my follow-ups. I had an allergic reaction to something 5 days after surgery and broke out in a rash and called their office several times for advice. They were all pleasant and very helpful and I would highly recommend Dr. Tucker.

Great until there is a complication
Had a Ventral Hernia repair almost 5 years ago. My Jp drain was left in for two months and I accidentally pulled it out. I am still having problems and heading for yet another surgery which I hope clears everything up. The additional surgery will not be done by Doctor Tucker

Dr. Tucker is the BEST!
I have been seeing Dr. Tucker for several years now. He’s been monitoring a lump I have in one of my breasts. My regular internist highly recommended Dr. Tucker! I cannot speak to his surgical expertise as yet, but, I’ve certainly heard several of his other patients brag about his surgical skills while I was sitting in the waiting room. He’s extremely thorough and he has a very caring manner. He also has a tremendous sense of humor! He watches this lump carefully, ensuring that it never becomes a problem in any way. I have so much confidence in Dr. Tucker! I have to say he’s my favorite physician. He also has a very friendly, caring staff! I highly recommend Dr. Tucker!!!

Dr. Jeffery Tucker is hands down one of the BEST SURGEONS I have ever had! He is so kind and caring, he is extremely talented and knowledgeable with many years of experience! I am a very medically complicated patient due to many previous abdominal surgery’s and Dr. Tucker was the only one I was comfortable with preforming the last recent abdominal surgery. He is truly gifted and I could not recommend him more highly! His staff is also absolutely wonderful! This is the team you want when you need surgery!

Jeff Tucker is hands down the best medical professional we’ve dealt with. His skill at not one, but two surgeries has been amazing. His bedside manner is the most welcome thing when you’re not feeling well. The regard in which the nurses hold him speaks volumes. I hope we don’t need him again, but we sure are glad to know he’s our go-to surgeon.

This surgeon caused serious damage in my neck/throat area and then kicked me to the curb, as I am suffering to breathe every breathe I take. Very Dangerous person, failed to inform me of the possible side effects to the thyroid surgery he performed, sewed up soft tissue in the R corner of my neck and throat, and then lied about it by not including it in the surgical report. Recent imaging studies show that I have 3 staples in that area, my before imaging studies reveal the absence of staples

Dr Jeff Tucker is an extremely-conscientious surgeon that would be the only surgeon I would allow to operate electively on my internal organs. When I found out he spent a tour in Afghanistan in service to our country, coupled with his excellent demeanor, I was sold! This patriot is an excellent surgeon and I have healed well since I needed his emergency services! 5 stars, thank you Dr Tucker!!

I was referred to Dr. Tucker by another doctor who highly recommended him. I had a very large hernia that had been previously botched by another surgeon in Florida. Dr. Tucker and his staff exceeded every expectation that I had. He has an incredible "bedside manner" and truly cares about his patients. He took extra time in my appointments to explain things in a way that I could easily understand. The surgery was carried out expertly and my pain was managed very well. He is an excellent surgeon!
