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 ENT
Dr Tucker has been treating me for nasal polyps, deviated septum and more for years now and I am very satisfied with the care and treatments I’ve received. The staff is professional, courteous and a pleasure to deal with. I feel truly blessed with the care I’ve received from Dr Tucker and the staff at Coastal Ear Nose and Throat.

No Compassion whatsoever. Belittles patients for not remembering previous health situations. Rushed appointment. Cares more about booking the next appointment than dealing with current concerns. Don’t bother with this doctor !

Great guy for an old sailor!
Like others have said, the visit was excellent. With the white beard and hair following closely behind, he is kind of like visiting Santa Claus. 'He goes straight to his work,' chats just a little while listening intently. 'Then with a nod of his head' he devises a plan and asks for your approval. And with startling swiftness he complete the task at hand and 'turns with a jerk' smiling a farewell until the next visit as he vanishes out-the-door to the next patient in the room next door. Dr. Tucker is a comforting reassurance for all his 'clients' especially those of us are struggling against the myriad of ailments that cursed opponent 'getting older' grants us al. I find it amusing to think of each patient in their turn listen intently for the pitter-patter of his approaching little feet over the mind-numbing crackling of the crickets and shrieking-chirps that evil Tinnitus use to mask the world's conversation and music proclaiming we are never alone.

A Great Surgeon
Dr. Anthony Tucker completed my Endoscopic Sinus Surgery recently. I was very hesitant to have the surgery as my mother had complications during this particular procedure during her surgery over thirty years ago. Dr. Tucker reassured me that conditions and methods had improved since her surgery. The ESS procedure was completed at Advent Hospital and I was very impressed with the staff. Dr. Tucker always answers my questions patiently. I highly recommend him as a surgeon to anybody with Chronic Sinusitis.

Arrogant, dismissive, unkind, curt
Yesterday I had my first appointment with Dr. Tucker. Unfortunately my experience was quite disappointing. Though my time with him to go over the results of my CT scans and receive a physical exam of my ears, leading up to a surgical procedure lasted no more than 3-5 minutes, I found the doctor to be unkind and lacking empathy. My concerns and questions were met with brief, curt responses, and I felt dismissed rather than understood. The doctor seemed uninterested in providing thorough explanations or addressing my concerns in a meaningful way, leaving me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a patient. A more compassionate and communicative approach would have made a significant difference. I would not recommend Dr. Tucker for anyone seeking a supportive and patient-centered experience.

HORRIFYING
If you or a loved one care about your health concerns & are seeking help.. BEWARE of anthony tucker at 'Coastal Ear Nose & Throat'. This 'human being' has the emotional maturity & dignity of a potato chip. If you are seeking a productive appointment with a professional, look elsewhere, otherwise you will be interrupted, ridiculed & berated. Once you have endured the scolding & are in tears, you will be mocked and told angrily 'I can't examine you if you're crying!' It is astonishing how he speaks to his patients & the lack of respect shown for them. Perhaps, euthanizing animals or crime would have been a more suitable career path for anthony. Shame on him!

I don't care about bedside manner if someone is a good Dr. This guy is dangerous. My husband went in with complaints of swallowing/eating and diagnosed him with, in simple terms, GERD. Prescribed meds and sent him on this way. Follow-up visit, nothing changed. My husband then called his office, going on over 2 months with concerns that he feels like it is getting worse and concerned about weight loss. Told by Dr. "these things take time". We took it upon ourselves to go to a gastroenterologist and they found a growth in lower esophagus which is cancer. Don't waste time going to this Dr. Might be the biggest mistake we have made.
