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.

Unreliable

Knowledgeable, but unreliable. Disappeared and did not return messages at a crucial point in the patient's treatment.

Dr. Tucker is very kind and compassionate. He listens very well and asks questions. He is easy to talk to and doesn’t judge. He, and his staff, are extremely reliable and punctual. They have always returned my phone calls within less than a few hours. It is very easy to speak with his staff and I have never had problems getting in an appointment, or making changes to one, especially during busy school and holiday seasons. He is top notch at getting back to you with medication refills. I’ve NEVER had a more reliable doctor as far as calling me back. He doesn’t push the medication issue though. He also works with you and your child with biofeedback, lifestyle changes, exercise/mobility and incorporation of nutrition/dietary changes. We are pleased with Dr. Tucker and I hope to obtain more of his knowledge and expertise as my child enters adulthood.

Dr. Tucker is very personable and does not make you feel uncomfortable when sharing what could be a very embarrassing situation. He encourages continuous communication by email after each session so he can get a handle on how patient is doing. I am so happy I found Dr. Tucker for my teenage son!

Dr. Tucker is approachable, kind, available and very helpful. He has helped not only myself, but my son, daughter, niece and nephew! I love the way he listens and considers my ideas and feelings about treatment options. He isn't ever judgmental or condescending and is good at coming up with new ideas. I also appreciate his openness to alternative treatments and helps be analyze them. Often, I have felt other doctors don't even know who I am. With Dr. Tucker, I know I'm no longer just a number.
