I went into the office carrying 20 years of pain, depression & despair. When I left the office after talking to Dr. Tuckman I had a sense of optimism I have not felt in forever! Hope that answers your inquiry.
Dr Tuckman is the best. He has helped me with Achilles surgical repair on both of my ankles with good results. He kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable.
A very well experienced doctor with good common sense and wisdom
Very informative… Explained all that was happening and also the start of a plan of action and we will go from there. Great use of the Hanger Clinic personnel that was on the floor , especially since I was a user of a hanger clinic product.. It allowed Dr. Tuchman the ability to actually show what was wrong with my product and how it would need to be corrected to make it function properly for my problem he was addressing.. Really liked him on finding my issue and the ways and steps on how it should be done. +++++.
