Dr. Tucker is an excellent Chiropractor. He has been my physician for many years. He is a compassionate person and helps patients with multiple neck, back, knee, and other spinal issues whether due to car accidents or just physical problems. I love his treatment method and spinal adjustments with the use of the “activator” tool.

Dr.Tucker is the only chiropractor I will see. He is thorough, effective, and compassionate. Due to my profession, I used to have issues with numbness and nerve discomfort in my neck/arm for months; other treatments would only put off the inevitable. I went to Dr.Tucker, felt welcomed and heard, and after only two visits, I've never had the issue again. That was 4 years ago. If you want a doctor who cares, and is adept in his profession, see Dr.Tucker!

Dr. Tucker and his staff are the best! Not only did Dr. Tucker help my back feel better after a car accident, but he genuinely cares about his patients. He takes a great interest in getting to know his patients on a personal level. Additionally, his receptionists are very friendly and always greeted me by name. They are incredibly patient and helped me efficiently deal with the difficulty of insurance billing. I would not hesitate to visit Dr. Tucker again in the future!

I started going to Dr. Tucker's office after my wife and I were rear ended on a road trip. Dr. Tucker and his staff are incredibly nice people. I know they all see plenty of people from week to week, but I never felt like a stranger when I went in for appointments. Dr. Tucker's adjustments to my neck, back, and shoulders really helped alleviate a great deal of discomfort that I was experiencing daily. I'll definitely be going back, and I've sent a few friends his way as well. I'd encourage you to check them out.

No twisting and cracking here. Not only does Dr. Tucker use a the activator (an instrument that adjusts you pain without twisting and cracking), he gives you an honest diagnosis. His goal isn't to drain your wallet; it is to fix what hurts. You shouldn't be in pain, and Dr. Tucker can help make you pain free. He did a great job for us.

Dr. Tucker makes you feel like family the moment you walk into his office. Dr. Tucker’s staff greets everyone with a smile and ensures that you understand what going 100% of the time. I recently retired from the Army and I have seen many Doctors concerning back issues. I can truly say that Dr. Tucker is one of the best that has worked on me. The only regret I have is that I never found Dr. Tucker sooner.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Tucker for years. We are very happy with the services he provides and we both have experienced a great deal of pain relief over the years. His process is much less aggressive than most Chiropractors which makes the experience much more relaxed. He is very professional and personable. I would and have recommended him to many friends and acquaintances over the years.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tucker for many years. To be honest, when he used the activator on my first visit I wondered how on earth that little hand-held devise could possibly help my aching back. But it did, and has for over 20 years. He is a kind and personable professional who is an excellent chiropractor. His staff has the same caring and helpful attitude to all their patients. I recommend Dr. Tucker highly.
