Dr. Michelle S. Tucker, MD

Where can I start. As new parents, we interviewed 3 other Pediatricians before we decided upon Dr. Tucker. Its been almost 9 years and we couldn't be happier - with her down-home and personalized demeanor, I never feel like I am being talked down to and feel that she honestly cares for the health and well-being of my children. Her bedside manner is amazing and when I have had to take my children to the ER, she has given us her personal cell phone for updates and questions. That by itself is absolutely astounding care in a modern medical environment where you normally must leave a message just to talk to a nurse. While I mean no disrespect here, I feel that Dr. Tucker is rather 'earthy' in her child rearing recommendations. The other doctors we interviewed treated certain care (like vaccines) on a strict, regimented, unmovable schedule and those that deviated for any reason went to the extreme of putting their child at risk. We felt that Dr. Tucker was a bit more flexible in many regards (but the way that she provided her opinion was of a close friend - not as an imposing authority figure). She still held the same professionalism as the other pediatricians, but was less strictly regimented on their delivery. Also - her office staff have been consistent for 9 years and we are on a first name basis with them. That is a VERY good sign for any doctor - her people are helpful, amicable and just as personal as their employer.

Very good pediatrician, always informative and gives good care for my daughter since she was a baby.

Dr. Michelle Tucker and her staff are the best in medical care to happen to our family. Not only is she an outstanding physician, she is personally invested in my family. Her staff is caring and helpful and they have been essential through every illness, fever, and scrape. We are so grateful for Dr. Tucker!
