I had left a negative review on this doctor but noticed it was removed. I guess they only want Positive reviews. This is very statistically skewed evaluation service. Mr. Tucker is not a very good doctor-period. He doesn't even know how to do a prostrate exam. Most doctors have you stand up; he has you lay down and puts a piece of paper over you supposedly for your 'privacy' but it just falls off leaving you exposed. And he always has to bring his 'friends' in with him. He doesn't respect or value your privacy. And his notes he puts on the 'Office Visit Summary' looks like graffiti you read on a bathroom wall and has nothing to do with what he talked about during the appointment.

Dr. Tucker is always on time for my appointments and if I have questions he gets back to me the same day. He is kind and professional and honest about treatment and expectations.

Dr. Tucker saw me for issues around the prostate. As we all know this is not a part of the body that is fun to be examined however Dr. Tucker handled the entire situation with great class and was more than happy to spend the time necessary with me to educate me on everything. Beyond that, I did extensive reading about my issue and shared some of my research with Dr. Tucker who unlike most doctors, was open to hearing what I found and said he would look into it further. Whatever your issues are around urological needs I cannot recommend this doctor strongly enough. He's a great partner in your health!

When I first went to see Dr. Tucker, I wasn't sure what to think, but after my first couple visits, I could tell he was a doctor that cares a lot for his patients health. I encourage anyone with urology health issues to look into him for help! I have been going to him now for about 2 years, and I won't be switching doctors unless he moves far away or retires.
