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.

He took his time with me and I didn't feel rushed. He is very caring and answered all my questions. Thank you Dr Stuckey! Thank you Jessica for getting me in for an appointment!

One of the very best orthopedic surgeons
Dr. Stuckey and his staff are very good at listening which is so very important. They are a very caring group and will take the extra step to help you in any way needed. This group is very knowledgeable about the many different orthopedic problems people have asthma well as the pain their patients are experiencing.

Review of first visit
Dr. Stuckey was timely, and he thoroughly reviewed all my past medical records and current health conditions. He spent ample time discussing my symptoms , etc. and immediately ordered additional tests to further determine an appropriate plan of action. Thus far I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Stuckey and look forward to my next visit(s).

My husband and I found Dr Stuckey to be extremely knowledgeable regarding my lumbar back issues. He answered all our questions and offered options. It’s not often you find physicians willing to spend the time he did with us. I would highly recommend him to people with spine issues.

Repaired my back with minimally invasive surgery
This was my 6 month post op follow up. Like all my earlier follow up visits, x- rays were taken before I saw Dr Stuckey 's nurse. She told me that Dr Stuckey had seen the x-rays and she showed me on the images why he felt my back is progressing well. I did not have any questions for him as I am feeling much better. My wait time for the x-rays was satisfactory about 15 minutes and then another 20 for Dr Stuckey.

How confident he and his staff made me feel about having a neck surgery, what to expect during and after. He listened to and easily explained everything in terms that I could understand. I’d recommend him to everyone I know.

If you like to wait for the doctor, choose Stuckey
My initial visit didn’t start off that great. They took me back for X-rays quickly. Then they put me in a room where I waited and waited for at least an hour to see Dr Stuckey. Instead, the PA came in to ask questions and stated that she would go back and talk to Dr Stuckey and then he would come talk to me. Well, I waited for about another 30 minuets where a nurse came in and gave me instructions to get an MRI. I never saw the PA again and I never saw Dr Stuckey. I have another appointment at 8:30am. I’m not excited to go wait and wait and may never the doctor again. I wish I would have read the negative reviews before selecting Dr. Stuckey as my doctor. If you have back issues, it’s not good to sit and wait for hours on a doctor you may never see.

3 spine surgeries THANK YOU!
Dr. Stuckey and team have done 3 spine surgeries on me for scoliosis with an S curve I was diagnosed with as a child. I am now an adult with 2 children and had the 1st surgery on cervical spine a year ago, and 2 on lumbar spine a few weeks ago. Dr. Stuckey is amazing and really works hard with you to get you back to doing normal things. Katherine is amazing as well. You can tell she really cares and does an amazing job assisting Dr. Stuckey. Even though I am only a few weeks into recovery I already can tell a big difference in movement. Dr. Stuckey was also great at explaining everything they do and why. His knowledge on everything spine made me feel very safe and gave me confidence to be able to handle everything. His office is always neat and clean. The hospital and hospital staff are very good.
