Had a conversation face to face as opposed to the doc typing in the computer while I talked. This is the right way to run a practice.
He’s amazing!
He was great.
He sat down with me and heard all my concerns. I did not feel rushed at all. He is very knowledgeable. I understood my diagnosis and next steps.
Hello was so matter of fact with me, I started to cry and vent my frustrations and was awesome to me. I'm getting a referral for my hand pain!
Kind, professional & so caring. On time. Takes time to thoroughly explain things.
Outstanding bedside manner, thoroughly explains issues, provides hope. I would strongly recommend Dr. Puckett.
Dr Puckett was very knowledgeable and explained everything so that I could understand every step and what’s needed to help my problem.
He is a very warm and caring Doctor so glad I was referred. He’s wonderfully patient, not only to me I’m sure but for all his Patients. I know I can trust him in the multiple surgery on my hand. I drive 3 hours to see him. He’s my choice!
Great Doctor in humble opinion
