PMC Hamot doctors have treated Lisa Puckly and her family for the past two decades. Both of Puckly’s babies were delivered at Hamot, her son’s cancer surgery was performed there, and the entire family saw a Hamot family physician until Puckly switched to a Saint Vincent Family Practice doctor earlier this year. Puckly, who is in her 50s, said she didn’t have much of a choice.
