						I went in to see Stuckey for issues with my back.He looked at my MRI and explained what my options were. Surgery was the outcome. He explained what that would be like from start to finish. He did not disappoint, I had surgery Nov 16 2023 and I’m feeling great. I’m a bit sore but he was so on point with everything. Faith and Jessica were great with all my questions making me feel so comfortable when I called. I spoke to Katherine upon my discharge and she insured she was a phone call away if I needed anything.Dr.Stuckey and his crew are great, so grateful that I made the right decision. I would highly recommend!!

						I am so thrilled with the results of my back surgery in May 2023. I can’t say enough good things about Dr Stuckey and the hospital staff. I took a pain pill when I left the hospital to prepare myself for the two hour drive home and that was the last pain medication I have taken. I have experienced No pain since I have been home which is two months. I just can’t give enough praise to the good Lord and Dr Stuckey. The hospital was super clean and accommodating. I definitely recommend both Dr Stuckey and the hospital. Thanks again!!

						I got excellent care and surgery from Dr. Stuckey. If I ever have to have surgery on anything else that he performs surgery on, it will be from him. I felt very secure and safe knowing he would be doing my surgery. He was careful to explain every aspect of my surgery before hand. After surgery, he was quick to explain everything that he had to do. He is a very knowledgeable surgeon. I highly recommend him.

						My lower back problem is a concern to me. How bad is it, will it get worse and will I need to have an operation? Dr. Stuckey was thorough and very professional. He put my mind at ease that yes, an operation will resolve the problem, but it isn’t an immediate necessity. I can carry on with my life understanding that there may be some limitations as to what I can do. I have time.

						The staff was extremely nice. Katherine was so pleasant. I was waiting to see what Dr. Stuckey had his feet since a couple of people hated his choice of footwear. He didn’t disappoint with his cowboy boots and tussled hair. Extremely personable and explained all my options thoroughly. We even had a few laughs. I have to go back, so I will update if there are any changes.
