Waited 35 minutes for an X-ray. Dr Pucketts assistant had to go to the front desk and see what the problem was the front desk never ordered the xray
One of the most pleasant, proficient doctors I've ever met. I rate him all five star! ✨✨✨✨✨
Very caring doctor
Excellent Surgeon. Performed the surgery on my injured hand, which allowed it to heal and function back to normal. Dr. Puckett always took the time to explain the injury and healing process. I’m thankful he was the Doctor I was referred to.
Excellent doctor

Top doctor
Dr Puckett is the kindest, most compassionate doctor I’ve ever met. I am in my mid 30s with a lifelong auto immune disease that has affected me physically, mentally, and emotionally in the last year, and if that wasn’t enough, I tore a ligament in my finger that needed surgical repair. My road to recovery has been extensive due to my auto immune condition making matters worse, but Dr Puckett has been so incredibly understanding and caring about my situation and his positivity is the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I would recommend him a million times over.
I am so glad I saw Dr Puckett.He was professional and sympathetic for what I am going through. I feel confident I will have full use of my hand once treatment is over..
Great Doc, very busy but took the time to carefully examine my hand and explain my options including potential future problems. Very impressed.
