Staff is always wonderful. Wait today was exceptionally long and severe weather and tornado warning in the area. Was able to get X-rays but still 3 people ahead of me after two hour break. Asked to reschedule and was told that was fine. Just an exceptionally busy day with a lot of people who seemed in pain. Wanted them to be seen. I understand I was that person once and I know Dr Duffy will take good care of them. No problem for me to reschedule.

Dr. Duffy was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I was extremely pleased with my X-ray results and encouraged by what he had to say.
He was so kind and sympathetic towards me regarding me losing my husband.

As usual, Dr. Duffy was patient, indulging to my paranoia, and very concise. I took his recommendation and couldn’t be happier.
