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 an outstanding doctor! Not only is she a skilled surgeon but she also explains everything thoroughly…is compassionate…always patient…gives you all the time you need. She sees her patients as people with families/responsibilities….not just as someone with a medical issue.
No question or concern is too small.

I have never done a Dr. review but this is a 5 star. Thankfully everything was ok. She has such an uplifting bed side manor, full of information and anyone that has her as a doctor would be lucky.

Dr. Tucker is fabulously compassionate, caring, a true listener, full of hope and faith, and will reassure you in every way you are in literal good hands. Her NPs Vicki and Sally are sunshine smiles and calming/reassuring you in any scenario. She is absolutely wonderful.
