This woman was late for both appointments booked with her. Upon being late and making clients wait she was unprepared and spent most if her time reviewing client profile while the client sat there. She was rude and uncompassionate towards what the client had to say. Reports were inaccurate and testing was done when upon agreement and signed saying none would be done. She accepts dirty money from insurance companies and has a biased opinion before anyone walks in the door. I would not recommended this woman and highly recommend you go over your reports she writes up. She will be reported for unprofessiobalism and inaccurate documents.

She is exactly as the review below stated.. Has no empathy, basically writes up a prescription (which sometimes is wrong) and sends you off. First appointment I had I left feeling discouraged. She came off as cold and judgemental. She doesn't put any effort into getting to know her patients, doesn't even bother greeting you. Impossible to open up to her. Definitely switching doctors.

Dr. Tucker is remarkably knowledgeable with regards to psychiatry. She takes her clients best interests to heart and will attentively listen to the patient before appropriately prescribing/recommending the solution . I felt very comfortable with the prescriptions Dr. Tucker had given me. She took the time to not only describe the mechanism in which it works, but as well how it has helped her previous clients.

I have gone through some very tough times, & I have expectations from a psychiatrist to be empathetic and understanding, as well as professional and willing to help her patients. She comes of very cold, unapproachable and judgmental. I have a hard time explaining to her how I'm feeling because of the snide remarks she makes. I go into my appointment with a lot to say, but never end up being able to tell her anything, she just writes the prescription, then dismisses me. My appointments last fewer than 10 minutes, and I always leave feeling that I didn't receive the care that I deserve from a professional.

Dismissive. Long waits after scheduled appointment time. Doesn't get to know you. Self absorbed. Abrupt. Didn't show up for my scheduled appointment one day, and didn't even give me a call to cancel. No apology. She rolled her eyes when she read my chart the first time and insulted my previous psychiatrist who works at the same hospital. Trust your gut....if you don't feel right about your psychiatrist, request a new one. The anxiety of having an inconsistent, inconsiderate one, isn't worth it.
