Dec 20, 2022
I saw Dr. Puckett as a child and now he is my first choice when my daughter needs to be seen. He is kind and listens to the parents and the child. He takes my concerns to heart and has always went above and beyond to care for my child. He has even called to check on her days after the appointment. I can't say enough good things!
