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.
Been a wonderful doctor to my husband. Helped him in many ways. Recommend him highly.

Dr. Tuel is by far the most amazing man/doctor there is. I’ve been a patient for about 8-9 years now, and I would never change! I left FWB to see him in Pensacola now. He’s that great!

A kind, compassionate human being & an excellent Physician. He was my PC physician in Fort Walton Beach-he is missed here- but at least I can have him as my MD at Baptist in P'cola. Thanks for being someone who listens! I feel very fortunate to have him as my doctor.

In the past twenty years, I have had so many difficult experiences with physicians in this area, that I had almost given up--until I found Dr. Tuel. He is everything previous reviewers have said he is--knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and caring. Dr. Tuel doesn't just listen to his patients; he comes to an agreement with them about their treatments. It's almost as though Dr. Tuel and his patients have a partnership. Thank you, Dr. Tuel.

Dr. Tuel was my primary care provider in Fort Walton Beach for more than 5 years. He was kind, caring, attentive, thorough, and an amazing doctor. I have since moved to Tennessee and wish I could find someone with his professional and personal characteristics here. After 4 years, I think the medical schools broke his mold. If you are lucky enough to have him as your doctor, hang in to him. You will be well served!

I am a new patient to Dr. Tuel. I found him thorough, kind, and concerned. He was on time and spent all the time I needed him to spend with me. I had blood work done and he phoned me himself the day after I had blood drawn to let me know that everything was normal and looked good. I would recommend him to family and friends.

I have been with Dr. Tuel for over 14 years, He has kept me in good health and when it came to something that was not in his field he always sent me to the best in the field that was needed!
He takes the time to listen to what you want to say and always gives you an answer in words that you can understand. He is the best as far as I am concerned.

Dr. Tuel, has been my doctor for the last 14 years and I don't trust my care to any other doctor. He is a genuine listening doctor that will generate a treatment plan with the patient and then follow thru to ensure the plan is effective. I have always felt he is a country doctor from years ago that people trust with their lives. He is a good and decent man who truly cares. I have recommended him to all my closest friends and co-workers without regret.

Always an excellent experience with Dr. Tuel. He's not pushy or condescending. Plus he always lets the patient be part of the decision making process when outlining a treatment plan. Having gone through a few PCMs, I can't think of a better provider to monitor my health.
