Excellent physician. Very knowledgeable
Dr. Duval is fantastic!! His nurses and staff are great too!!
excellent doctor
I recently had two total knee replacement surgeries. Dr. Duval and his entire staff were excellent in my entire process from my initial office visit, Pre-surgery, the day of each surgery, and post surgery. Also a big kudos and a big thank you to the LOS Surgery Center. Top notch and first class! None better, I was home and resting 5 hours after I left my home each morning for each individual surgery!
Down to earth, personable, knowledgeable, all around a great experience!!
Excellent doctor and very caring about his patients.
Dr. Duval is fantastic. Knowledgeable and highly respected.
Dr Duval and staff very friendly Dr DUVAL took his time explaining the results of the MRI of my knee. I appreciated his conservative approach to treatment.
Wonderful visit excellent staff!
I had an appt. with Dr. Duval yesterday! He was so very patient, as was Kyra, and they both put me at ease. He smiled and made me feel like this was routine and my knees would get better. Dr. Duval explained why my knees were hurting and recommended injections and physical therapy. I was scared to death of injections but PA (and I’m embarrassed that I don’t remember her name) put me at ease and explained exacted what I would feel - like my knees were inflating. And she was correct!! It really did not hurt! I will begin physical therapy at LOS (my request) in Youngsville and do a follow up visit in 8 weeks. My Dr. recommended Dr Duval as he had done my Dr’s surgery! So I really knew he was a great doctor!’
