    I felt good about my care my Dr Puckett and his staff prior to, during and following my recent surgery. The physician answered all questions and seem to do a thorough job during my surgery. I would recommend him to anyone that does not require A great deal of sympathy or empathy, but wants to get a good outcome!

    Dr Puckett is a great doctor and I'm so happy that I got a second opinion from my original surgeon and found Dr. Puckett. He performed a complicated surgery on me and did a great job. He also shows that he cares about my continued care and healing.
