Patients That Inspire

“Dr. Puckett has been amazing. He takes the time to listen and understand your problem, explains your options, and helps you decide on what solution will work best for your situation. I first saw him 10 years ago for help with my hand and when I reinjured it he was the only doctor I trusted to help me again.” David K.
“I fell injuring my left arm and although at first it appeared to be a contusion, I later found out through an MRI that the left tricep was ruptured. I saw Dr. Puckett based on comments from former patients and nurses. I have been in health care for over 40 years and found Dr. Puckett’s surgical skills unsurpassed in areas of the upper extremity. Dr. Puckett and his staff were excellent. I recommend him very highly. GREAT RESULTS!” Carl M.
“Last year my son broke his finger on the playground playing football. Dr. Puckett was able to see him immediately. He explained the problem very clearly to me and my son in terms that were easy to understand. He reassured my son that his finger would heal if he kept it stable. Dr. Puckett gave us specific guidelines to follow; my son would have been tempted to play sports otherwise. By the third week it had healed perfectly because of Dr. Puckett’s care. He is a delightful doctor, with a great bedside manner. I would recommend him to both adult and pediatric patients alike!” Susannah D.
