    Good luck getting in as a new patient. Dr. Puckett's full case load has grown through the years. There are good reasons for patient loyalty such as mine. She listens. We have two-way helpful conversations. She thinks ahead to possible future developments as her patients face new challenges in aging. She is a great problem solver. She's a "keeper"

    Dr. Megan Puckett always makes time to spend with me when I see her for my annual checkup. She gives all her attention to me and what I am saying or needing. In addition, she is an excellent listener and a knowledge Geriatric Internest and I would recommend her to anyone needing a Geriatric PCP. She is the best.
