Dr. Tucker is very personable and does not make you feel uncomfortable when sharing what could be a very embarrassing situation. He encourages continuous communication by email after each session so he can get a handle on how patient is doing. I am so happy I found Dr. Tucker for my teenage son!

BE CAREFUL !!! DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR !!! he gets your money (u$ 600.00), and disappears!!! does not reply your emails, messages, or even calls !!! if he says he will follow up day by day... be prepared... this does not happen... you feel humiliated expecting that your kid will get help, and you get nothing... nothing !!!! my son got worse after seeing him and he does not care at all...he disappeared. shame shame shame... how come a doctor that is supposed to help an autistic kid, disappears..

Dr. Tucker is approachable, kind, available and very helpful. He has helped not only myself, but my son, daughter, niece and nephew! I love the way he listens and considers my ideas and feelings about treatment options. He isn't ever judgmental or condescending and is good at coming up with new ideas. I also appreciate his openness to alternative treatments and helps be analyze them. Often, I have felt other doctors don't even know who I am. With Dr. Tucker, I know I'm no longer just a number.
