Jun 21, 2024
Dr. Tucker did spinal cord release surgery on my 5 yr old daughter in March. He was very well versed in using average everyday people lingo to explain exactly what will happen and could happen for both before, during, and after surgery. His team was/is super helpful with quick responses to any issues or questions. Out of my daughter's who team of doctors he is the one I would recommend the most.
