Had to wait too long, but I’m pleased with Duffy and his care
Excellent doctor easy to talk too and straight forward as to what you need to have done highly recommend
Dr Duffy took the time to thoughtfully answer my questions with clarity - which was most important to me. I’ve been distrusted by not getting answers from others. He was courteous and respectful and caring. I really liked him and felt seen and heard. He helped me establish a treatment plan and lifestyle modifications to move forward. It was a great visit.
I haven't had the surgery yet, but so far I really like my doctor. He kept me informed and was approachable regarding exactly what to expect.
I will reserve a 5 star rating after my surgery but I can tell you the entire office staff I encountered were amazing. Dr Duffy was just who we were told to expect. Amazing and answered all my questions without having to ask. I trust him!
the best
Dr. Duffy was great at breaking down what was going on with my knee. He didn’t come in, throw a bunch of medical terms at me and then leave, which I appreciate. He took his time and answered all of my questions.
He takes the time to see you and gives you time to talk and tell him how you are doing and make sure that he explains everything to you
Please clean up the time the patient has to wait in the waiting room. Two hours is ridiculous.
Positive and encouraging! A hard worker.
