“When I received my cancer diagnosis, and I needed an immediate hysterectomy, I tried to find out about Dr. Katherine Tucker. I’m a researcher and I couldn’t find much information. So, my family and I met with her and we were impressed. Even so, it bothered me that I couldn’t find any information about her, so I ran to Duke to get a second opinion. I had to choose my surgeon quickly, because of the aggressiveness of my situation. I was on the fence, but when the skilled, seasoned surgeon, at Duke, spoke very highly of Dr. Tucker and said that it may be easier for me to be closer to home, I chose Dr. Tucker. I’m so thrilled that Dr. Tucker was my surgeon. Her skill and tenaciousness proved life changing, because my pathology ended up being very difficult. My pathology required numerous reviews. Three different pathology teams were necessary for final evaluation of a rare problem.
Dr. Tucker was relentless and that made all the difference.”
– Cheryl D.
