Feb-2025
Dr Duran was thorough and decisive. I have been waiting 3 1/2 months for an action plan and he was the one to do it. Unfortunately, my delay was end of year insurance expiring and new insurance going into effect. I can now hope for relief in my pain.
Feb-2025
I felt like everything was rushed and he was ready to move on. He never said anything about my XRays. I asked about doing PT and he said I could but never made a referral. Not coming back to this Dr.
