Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I am sure Dr. Tucci is an excellent doctor. But I felt like I was being rushed. And he a little rude. His manner of dealing with myself was I really didn't feel like he was really listening. So I may be going to another doctor.

Once Dr. Tucci knew I was a PT. He talked to me acknowleding my education. Which I truly appreciated. He gave me all the time I needed and answered all my questions, treating me with respect. I would not hesitate to go back to Dr. Tucci.

Since surgery was not and option, he was not interested in discussing alternatives. I had to press him for where to go next. I felt I was being dumped.

Wonderful Doctor
I recently visited Dr Tucci to treat my sciatic issues and he was magnificent. His attention and recommendations were spot on and I’ve not had pain since. He communicated with me on a personal level and I felt that he really cared about helping out of pain. I would and will highly recommend him to anyone with back problems like me. Great satisfaction!!

Dr. Tucci
Monday 10/10/2022. Just returned home from appt. with Dr. Tucci regarding an issue I have of numbness in my hands and feet. Dr. Tucci was initially pleasant but, almost immediately became irritated and irritable during and after the exam. He informed me that there was nothing in my MRI that indicated any problem that needed to be referred to him and that no MRI should have been performed in the first place and that is why it is getting harder and harder to get insurance to approve them. Dr. Tucci was very aggravated at my PCP for both ordering an MRI and referring me to him. Additionally, Dr. Tucci got noticeably more agitated as I asked questions trying to determine what to do going forward due to him ruling out any spinal problems. It's hard to do things when your hands are completely numb. As a patient, I don't care to hear comments about other doctors or what should or shouldn't have happened. I want to know what's causing my issue and if it can be corrected. Thats it!!!!

I feel very fortunate to have been treated by Dr. Tucci. I am 72 years old and have been practicing Judo for over 40 years. Having suffered an unrelated back injury that left me with a numb foot and severe weakness in my leg, I was told by a number of people that I would require back surgery. Convinced I would need surgery, I conducted extensive research for a capable neurosurgeon. On the recommendation of the ER physician, I sought out Dr. Tucci. After his examination, Dr. Tucci explained the advantages and the pitfalls of the type of surgery I would require. When I asked him what he would do if he were in my shoes, he stated very emphatically that he would NOT do the surgery as a first option. He strongly recommended that I undergo physical therapy, first. I took his recommendation and completed the PT and, at the same time vigorously performed the exercises several times a day at home. I have recovered from my injury and expect to continue living my joy of Judo.

This dr is a quack I was told that there was nothing he could do for me and to just lose weight and take ibuprofen. Well a second opinion says I have spondylolisthesis of the lumbar from a congential defect. While I do need to lose some weight to ease surgery I do in fact need surgery and have been referred to a pain specialist. Thankful I didn’t listen to this dr!
