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.

Fantastic
I saw Dr. Puckett as a child and now he is my first choice when my daughter needs to be seen. He is kind and listens to the parents and the child. He takes my concerns to heart and has always went above and beyond to care for my child. He has even called to check on her days after the appointment. I can't say enough good things!

I was recommended to him after another Dr told me my daughter wouldn't live past 6 cause of all her medical conditions. She's 25 with babies of her own. He's saved her life a few times. He speaks to you not down. I will never forget him!!

Dr Puckett is the best Dr I ever been to he is friendly and Professional. He great with kids and goes out of his way to help you raise healthy and happy kids. He always explain the illness and what will make it better. He also gives you a print out with what he gone over with you. I have 3 children that love him. He really cares for his patients your not a number or a pay check. He only sees kids or I would pick him him as my Dr also. This is the Dr you want to take your kids too!
