Profile of Scott Tucker, Dr

A desire to accomplish his General Surgery Internship at NC Baptist Hospital/Bowman Gray School of Medicine brought him to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he also completed his Residency. To further his education and experience, he completed a Fellowship in Cleft Palate and Burn Reconstruction at Ranchos Los Angeles Medical Center, University of Southern California. But, his desire to return to Winston-Salem and work at the prestigious NC Baptist Hospital brought him back where he became first a Senior Assistant Resident in General Surgery, then a Junior Resident in Plastic Surgery, and then Chief Resident in Plastic Surgery, all of which gave him the training to begin his private practice.

His long list of accomplishments and affiliations includes, but is not limited to, Board Certification with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Inc., Alpha Omega Alpha, the North Carolina Chapter of American College of Surgeons, American College of Surgeons–Fellow, American Medical Association, North Carolina Medical Society, and North Carolina Surgical Association. He has also served as Chief of Plastic Surgery of Forsyth Medical Center and Medical Park Hospital, President of NC Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Dr. Tucker’s profession affords him the opportunity to do what he loves most, surgery and care for his patients. But, an appreciation of music and a gift for playing the guitar and singing also provides him a creative outlet with further community involvement as he has performed for many local functions and medical meetings. Creativity in the Tucker family is not solely assigned to him, however; as his gifted wife, a talented designer, actually personally designed the beautiful facility that is Salem Plastic Surgery, Inc. His lovely daughter lives in Florence, Italy and has a master’s in renaissance art history. Keeping fit is also important to Dr. Tucker so he is careful to include working out at the gym and extended time on the golf course as part of his schedule.
