How likely are you to recommend Dr. Tucker?
Dr. Tucker preformed an emergency surgery on my husband and saved his life. He has done 3 surgeries total. I am positive my husband is alive because of Dr Tucker! As the entire hospital knows, I'm a difficult spouse... I couldn't be happier with Dr Tucker.
