Review for Dr. Tucker
Dr. Mahmoud was very nice and considerate to listen to what I had to say about what’s going on after the last follow up . My visit was very short and to the point but I enjoyed having Dr. Mahmoud as my doctor.

Review for Dr. Mahmoud
He saw and diagnosed why my son kept getting constant life-altering infections in his feet and toes, and with medication and surgery, he gave my son his life back. He has also been working with me and helping me not to have pain in my feet.
