I've been a patient of Dr. Stuckey for about 5 years. Dr. Stuckey saw me for 15 minutes for a follow-up. He nor his staff apologized that I had to wait 2 hours and 40 minutes to see him for 15 minutes, and I arrived 15 minutes prior to my appointment. It's disrespectful to the patient's time - my time is as valuable as his. I doubt that he got lost in his new facility as it's a very plain, grey, and logical design.

Dr. Stuckey did my lasik and everything about the experience was AMAZING! The staff was absolutely great and Dr. Stuckey went the extra mile to explain everything to me. His knowledge about eye health was what set him a part from the rest.

I ended up having to have surgery and his staff was very prompt about getting me in quickly and made me feel comfortable. I had a very good overall experience.

After seeing Dr. Stuckey 5 times for the same problem, blurred vision in one eye, he could not diagnose a simple problem, a cataract. He's very impatient if questions are asked and then responds by saying "I don't care, don't do it". What doctor talks to patients like that?

my mom needed to get to a opthalmologist that also performed surgery eye surgery, since her opth no longer did the surgery part. Since, she was a new patient I knew she would be there a long wait time, that's a given (heck I've been going to my eye dr for 16 years and I still have to wait over an hour. Dr. Stuckey and staff were great with my mom....she's 84 and cantankerous, enough said. He did a great job explaining everything to her in layman terms, what more could a patient ask?

Dr. Stuckey was not compassionate. He did unnecessary test that cost insurance companies and was actually heard outside wanting to know how he was going to get HIS money as he was just called in for a second opinion for one of his co-workers who had just had cataract surgery and no charges should have been made. He got HIS money in in an accounting coverup.
