Dr. Puckett takes the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly, which I truly appreciate. He is honest about expectations and outcomes and focuses on what’s realistic and best for you the patient. You never feel rushed or pressured—just well informed and genuinely cared for.

Dr Puckett is truly a joy to be his patient. He takes time to explain my condition and options. And the ramifications of the treatment options. He Takes a let's go with the laest drastic approach. And only going to surgery as last resort.
