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 nice. Compassionate and seems to care and know his job. I started with grandma over there and moved my medically complex daughter and now my husband. BUT his nurse and front desk leave something to be desired. The nurse asked my daughter to call the insurance on a voicemail on her phone to find somewhere who would accept her insurance. She did ( I said no it wasn’t her job. But she did) and then she called the front desk and left said hospital with the front desk. Yesterday when I was in with my husband and asked the status of her MRI Tucker didn’t know. The nurse had him leave shut the door and proceeded to tell me she was done they weren’t ordering it. She said my daughter was no compliant and she was don no MRI ( who is she to make medical Decisions) I tried to explain she did call the insurance and left her a message /at the front desk. Instead of saying it got misplaced or handling it with grace I was a liar and it didn’t happen. Really it did. Disorganized much

You do have to wait to see him but he takes time with his patients. You dont feel rushed. He listens and talks to you. He is a good doctor.

A "one star" recommendation is really giving a "over rate"! Went to see Dr Tucker due to fatigue,weight loss,dizziness on a Thursday. He ordered a CXR, which was abnormal, had me to come back for a CT scan which was also abnormal. We were told we would be contacted next day for further instructions. We were not contacted and left SEVERAL messages on Friday and the following Monday--which were NEVER returned. Ended up in Nashville at ER and was admitted with LUNG CANCER with METS. This office needs to re-evaluate the way to handle SICK patients!!! I can not believe the incompetence we witnessed at this office- from the front desk to the back!! My advice would be to NOT go to this office!

Follow up to previous comment I left: After speaking with Tammy in the office, my issue was resolved. She immediately made phone calls and my mother was able to see the doctor she needed to see. I am very pleased with the quick action that was taken for my mother's best interest.
