This was my first time seeing Dr. Tuckman and his PA Alex. Alex came in first to assess me and then Dr. Tuckman came in. I was very impressed with him. For years I have had trouble walking after having double knee surgery. He informed me of what my problem was and told me how we would proceed with his plan. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone having issues with your feet.
Thorough in explanation and helpful.
Finally a doctor who would actually do something for me . And listen to me!
Patient and informative
Explains everything very thoroughly…
Too bad there are not more stars. He deserves more for what he has done for me in the last six months!
Love him, he’s thorough and I always get my questions answered, he never rushes.
Dr tuckman is the only doctor i will allow to work on my feet.
