An exceptional listener and communicater. His bedside manner is right up there with knowledge and experience. You can’t put a price tag on it! He paid close attention to detail, thoroughly examining and assessing my health issues to identify even the smallest symptoms and signs. This helps ensure accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment plans.
It was my first appt with Dr. Duffy, and not my last.
