Everyone in the office was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Puckett was gentle and explained in great detail what needed to be done for my wrist to get back to being pain free. He took his time and had a wonderful bedside manner. Very thankful to have found him!

Prior to choosing Dr. Puckett I reviewed several reviews written by his patients and everything good that was said about him couldn’t more true. A doctor that takes the time to explain everything to you in detail. Great bedside manor!

Dr. Pickett was very professional and his demeanor is very calming and pleasant. He gave me a diagnosis explanation that was easy for me to understand. The options for treatment were explained and I didn't feel any pressure to pick one or the other. I left my appointment more knowledgeable and reassured that Dr. Pickett and his team will be there for me in the future.

I highly recommend Dr. Puckett. I had seen him several years ago for an elbow problem that is now resolved and I had the utmost confidence that he could handle two challenges with my hand. He explained what was wrong and discussed the options with me and listened to my concerns and together we came to a decision. His knowledge gave me confidence that I would be treated successfully.

I was a new patient, but I completed my paperwork online, so arrival and check-in were quick and easy. Next up, X-rays, and then back out to wait for the MD. First spoke with the assistant, and then Dr. Puckett came in and, after the assessment, gave me treatment options. And let me say, he looked at me, not at a laptop screen, as so often happens with doctors. Very professional and caring bedside manner. Will recommend.
