    Dr. Tucker seems very knowledgeable and good at what he does, and he really seems to care about his clients. Explains his plan of action and makes recommendations. However, he lets the patient ultimately decide on what he/she would like to do. Asks the patient if he/she has any questions, and answers to the best of his ability.
