I really appreciated his time in explaining the results. I was left with very clear diagnosis and expectations.
Dr Duffy had advised before my back surgery that I would need hip replacement surgery. He gave me options and explained everything that I can understand. Much appreciated
For my first visit, he explained in terms I could understand. I felt comfortable and could relate easily.
Dr. Duffy is the best!! He has replaced both my knees and couldn’t be more satisfied!! I’ve recommended him to numerous people that has used him also. He is the best!!!
Dr Duffy is great, but the office needs better scheduling. There was no parking nor enough waiting room seats, and wait time was over an hour.
