The reviews listed below were collected independently of Southeast Orthopedic Specialists through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
The doctor was professional & very knowledgeable and experienced on the subject of my visit. He apparently was not to be blamed for my driving many hours to see him, only to be passed off to a different surgeon forthwith, on a different date meaning another long drive. Perhaps the organization could better vet prospective patients before allowing appointments as it's not like one can interview the doctor to decide for yourself. In this case, a quick telehealth session or even a discussion with his nurse or assistant would have proven most helpful as well as avoiding much time, expense, delay for a need procedure & frustration.

Dr. Duffy was gentle and very accommodating! The cortisone injection wasn’t that bad and I felt some improvement immediately!
