Dr. Stephen Tucker, MD

Went to Dr. Tucker after being misdiagnosed by a G.P. for terrible rash. Dr. Tucker immediately told me I didn't have what the first Dr. told me I had and began testing me for the reason for my itchy rash. He did patch tests and found only 5 things I was allergic to and we then narrowed the problem down to 1 thing, formaldehyde gas from household things. I suffered for 5 months with the itching and rash but after learning what was causing it, the rash cleared up and I am fine. I believe Dr. Tucker is the best Dermatologist I could have found and so glad I did.

I am writing to let others know that Dr. Stephen Tucker, Dermatologist, failed to tell my wife of lab results showing possible melanoma. First visit in Aug. 2019, when original lab work done, after a sample taken by Tucker. He said nothing wrong then. 14 months later (Dec. 2020) in a normal follow up visit he took another sample from the same mole on the forehead and then said she had melanoma. So we assumed the mole had just changed. Next visit was to MD Anderson (2 weeks later) following Tuckers recommendation of Dr. Ross and his first question was why did you wait over a year to address the problem. After seeing the lab results sent to Ross from Tucker for both the 2019 and 2020 visit the 2019 lab clearly stated it was questionable and further samples needed to be taken. 14 months is a little long for that type of follow up in my opinion. No one should go through the surgeries, 4 total and extensive plastic surgery, and it may not have been needed if an immediate follow up was done.

I have been going to Dr Tucker at least 16yrs, My Husband and extended family much longer. He is a wonderful, kind, intelligent, thoughtful Dr. I am fair skinned, so every mole, skin problem that occurs He takes care of... I am grateful for Dr. Tucker

Doc is smart and caring. Cured me of what looked like a spider bite that had gotten like a skin eating thing. I was a mess! He was smart enough to prescribe the old tried and true penicillin and domeboro to apply to sores
