From there, he went on to complete an internship from Detroit Osteopathic Hospital and residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation from Wayne State University in 1992.
Dr. Tucker has served as assistant medical director at the Northeast Community Hospital Rehabilitation Unit in Bedford and is a designated doctor with the Texas Department of Insurance Workers’ Compensation Division for resolution of disputed impairment ratings.
Dr. Tucker’s main interests include musculoskeletal medicine including neck and low back pain, electrodiagnostic evaluation of neuromuscular injuries and diseases, acute and chronic pain management, and occupational and sports medicine.
Patient’s don’t always have a problem that follows the textbook and just because I know how to do a procedure doesn’t mean that you need one. I strive to understand the nature of your problem and how it affects your pursuit of a happy and healthy life so that a treatment plan that fits your needs can be developed. I have been in practice for 35 years and I know what works and what doesn’t but I’m still open to new ideas and concepts as I further my medical education for my own curiosity and the betterment of my patients.
