Puca Christopher MD

Dr. Puca has been my primary care physician since I moved to Tucson 6 years ago. I really like his «bedside manner» — very empathetic. He has been very thorough in my annual exams and did a great job finding an a condition I was unaware of just by feeling an inflammation.
The reason I give him 4 stars instead of 5 is he does not always follow up with things as much as I’d like. I seem to have to take a pretty active role in pursuing treatment or therapy.

Dr. Puca is simply the best doctor I’ve ever had. He goes above and beyond and understands fibro like no ones business. They are effective, work well in many situations, and are lovely people.

Simply the best in care and working with you as a partner. This practice treats you like an adult, seeks your input and is thorough in its approach.

At Ars Nova (the actual name of the practice), you won’t be treated like a number, a file or a medical billing code. In all my life I’ve never been to a practice where I feel this comfortable and cared for. Sure, we know doctors take the Hippocratic Oath but Dr Puca and Dottie Tucker, NP live by an additional code or rule that is evident in everything they do and say. They truly CARE about each and every patient.
They aren’t quick to prescribe prescription meds but would rather look to see if there is an alternative method to take care of a problem such as diet, exercise, etc. I like that in a doctor when so many today seem to be controlled by pharmaceutical companies.
I enjoy the overall vibe of the office as well. It’s a bit zen and very comfortable. The office is actually located at 1925 W Orange Grove, Ste 207 (not on La Cholla and hasn’t been for a few years).
