 Finding
quality medical care as well as a caring medical physician who will
both listen to you and advise you of your treatment options, do
not have to be mutually exclusive. At Huntsman Medical Center,
we look forward to creating a long and healthy relationship with
you.
We are a small practice that focuses on individualized and preventative
care. Our doctors are trained to treat patients of all ages -
from newborns to senior citizens. Let us know how we can assist
you with everything from routine preventative care, such as physical
exams, vision or hearing screening, and acute care.
As family physicians, Drs. Jeffrey Nekoba and Alton Tucker know
that the better informed our patients are, the better we can be
of service to you. That is why if you have a question or concern
and call our office, you always will get a call back. Our doctors
and staff thank you and appreciate your trust in our care for
you and your family.
The following information is provided to help answer some of
the more common questions we encounter.
Office Hours:
Monday - Friday: 8:00am - 5:00pm by appointment. If you

you have a scheduled appointment and are unable to honor it, please
