Dr Puckett knew right away what and how my shattered wrist would need to get better. He built my trust in him in 1 minute. Total trust for my upcoming surgery. He explained in easy to understand words what would happen before surgery during surgery and after surgery. So glad I found and was recommended by friends to seek out Dr Puckett from Southeast orthopedics .
