Dr. Tucker is a very professional and knowledgeable doctor. He is thorough and took time to answer any questions I had. He performed my shoulder surgery and I won't hesitate to have him perform my knee replacement. Great doctor!

I was scared at first to use a new doctor, after all the surgeries I've had on the same knee, but Dr. Tucker did an amazing job with my knee and I can say that I'm satisfied with the work he's done, and I recommend him for anyone else. Now of course you have to do your part too, but I can't complain.
