What patients say

Vibe: clinical

Highly polarized reviews reflecting a practice with exceptional clinical outcomes (especially in emergency retinal cases) but severe operational and interpersonal issues. Patients praise Dr. Tucker and Dr. Farr's medical expertise and some staff compassion, but are frustrated by chronic overbooking, long waits, rude front desk interactions, and unprofessional handling of private information. The single-doctor bottleneck appears to be a systemic problem driving scheduling dysfunction.
