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.

Excellent physician and a great bedside manner. I had a very difficult set of issues due to a bad auto collision. He was able to do some very amazing work so that I could learn to walk again and use my arm. I’m so grateful for Dr. Tucker. He is top notch and well respected amongst other healthcare professionals. I am forever grateful for all he did to see me through a very difficult time.

I was in a traumatic car accident and Dr. Tucker was the lead surgeon. I had to under go an initial surgery to correct a broken left wrist, right tibia and left external fracture to my tibia. All of these surgeries required hardware. Dr. Tucker was very honest about my recovery and my potential end result. I appreciated his direct approach and honesty. I later had to undergo a bone graft and he was the lead surgeon again. I have experienced nothing but the highest level of care from him, his Physician Assistants and all of the staff in his office. Contrary to the other review the office staff has been very attentive to all of my requests for paperwork. As you all know insurance companies are relentless in having paperwork filled out over and over to update progress etc. I personally have appreciated each and every staff member. Dr. Tucker has and continues to do an outstanding job as my physician. I have to give an extra shout out to Brittany a PA and to Ms. Shirley in the office!

The only time my husband saw Dr. Tucker was during surgery. It took him 1 hr to come and speak with me after the surgery. The office staff is very slack and incompetent of handling their day to day duties. Every time we send paperwork to get filled out we have to constantly call to ensure it was received. The excuse is they use a third party fax company and they have not received the paperwork. Either the paperwork is not received or they can not find the completed copy. Do not use.
