Renee Stucky, PhD

I was blessed to meet Dr Stuckey in 2006. She was the dr my husband was given after a horrific MVA that left him with a very severe Traumatic Brain Injury as well as a spinal cord injury. She was the psych dr who offered not only testing that is given after such extensive injuries, but also her time that we were so fortunate to have as we scheduled 1 hour sessions to sit and talk with her about the smallest of things to the biggest concerns, fears, set backs, and multiple other issues that our family faced. Dr Stuckey NEVER EVER left our side!!! Once I had a very urgent emergency regarding my husband's TBI and nobody, not even his best of friend or family, would involve themselves or give an ounce of help to me in the very, very scary time of his "out of control" feelings he unexpectedly had, they were feelings that were nothing short of hurting not only himself, but others, and it didn't matter who! Nobody could stop this terrifying rage he was experiencing and creating. At a very… last attempt for help, as I didn't know who to turn to, I called Dr Stuckey, her secretary stated she was in a meeting and do you know that in just the exact, perfect timing, my husbands phone rang, it was Dr Stuckey herself, live on the phone WITH HIM!!! It was the first time I could take a full breathe, in what seemed like a week, she talked with him in that same tone she always does with the perfect amount of meaning, seriousness and exact amount of demand and with that one, simple phone call that she excused herself from all she had going at that second, DR RENEE STUCKEY saved what could have been my life, his and countless other possibilities that could have went wrong, but her act of selflessness and getting no extra benefit from adding this catastrophe that was happening right then in MY life, she STOPPED her day, her schedule and made a phone call that I will never forget her for! She is an angel and a hero for us, for me. It was the first time in dealing with any of his moods or acts of anger and aggression that I was ever so lost and a solution was not even close to me or nearby and scared, when not a single person would help bc they didn't know how and odds were not too favorable, in many aspects, first thing being our safety as I was the only person dealing with this outburst and rage for a few days, secluded and completely alone, the closest call for help was a phone call and that was very much not reassuring or comforting, knowing what was readily available if his aggression were to spiral more, BUT she intervened and 1000000% saved so much that day. To this day I don't think she realizes just how much she did for me and him that day, she's just that humble in her work! She made it very clear in that short, meaningful phone call that she was to see us for an emergency appointment and gave him just ONE hour to get there or she was going to make a call higher than her for help! By the grace of God, she got him to that much needed appointment that day, she spoke words that needed to be said and made very valid points that was a must to be shared and understood by him! If you have ever dealt with a severe TBI, then you will fully understand that talking to that person is one thing, but getting through to them and making them listen and value your conversation and your words, insight, concern and opinions, THATis a very hard task at times, especially in he state of mind he was in, but she conquered all that day as she always did though on our visits to see her! She is in the perfect position/line of work! She's my all time #1 referred "listening" dr that I tell so many about! Aside from that day, just not so long ago, she has always been a very good listener, to both parties when they're talking out issues and they are searching for help and can't find solutions on their own. She's even far more skilled with solutions and communicating back the problems that she finds during those short visits, she amazes me at all points of her job and she has my utmost respect as a loyal and compassionate woman who is so, so in tune to everyone's needs and desire to be just better as a person and live the best life possible. She doesn't sugar coat and and defines does not take a side, she states facts and is a wealth of information! She will always be an amazing Dr to me who possess some type of super skill and perfect insight when it comes to talking and dealing with issues as severe as I've seen her not only Master and conquer, but she is so great at relaying her knowledge to her patients that they take it and use it, applying what she has educated them on and issues that seemed as big as mountains are no longer an issue ever again or if they are reoccurring scenarios or problems that don't cease for good, then she has a profound way of teaching and reaching people and is able to make them work through those hard times and problems, turning them to minor things and not hindering life for all involved! The woman is my hero and my angel sent in such a time of extrme case of such raging and desperate need, I'll always remember her and continue to seek her care and ONLY her care! If she ever moved, she would without a doubt, be worth every second of time spent traveling, even if it were across the entire map, just to keep her as our psych dr, Dr Stuckey truly means that much and goes that far in her job detail that if you're needing a dr for treatment, she is the ONLY DOCTOR that I would want to personally see and whom I and my husband trust whole heartedly with what she says and does for us and for who she has proven to be as an individual, over and over again! You mean the world to me and my family Dr Stuckey!!!
