He's calming, assuring, and he listened. He's a very good Dr. And I'm thankful I was assigned to him. His staff Kaele? Is simply a pro with empathy and kindness
Waited an hour and 45 minutes past my appointment time. Consultation took no more than 3 minutes. Felt as though I was wasting his time. Maybe it was just an off day?
Knowledgeable and spends time answering questions and making suggestions that are helpful.
Outstanding care! Thank you 😊
Employees were very kind and helpful and Dr Dugas kind in explaining treatment and care ) Grateful will heal without surgery !! Thank you
Just an excellent doctor. Very caring, considerate, humble, and kind. He always has my best interest in mind. I have absolute respect and admiration for Dr. Dugas. Very blessed to have him as my doctor.
Great
I thought Dr.Dugas was very through, made sure.I understood how surgery. Would go. . His staff Made me feel very comfortable. Eager to please. And that helps a lot to take the edge off of surgery, if you gotta have one.
Always friendly. Listens, and gives good understandable directions for recovery.
Doctor Dugas never sat down with me to look at my MRI. We barely spoke about my injury. Instead, he spent his time asking me what kind of pain relief I’ve had for nerve pain over the last 15 years, then argued with me on whether they were real doctors. At one point he grabbed my arm, which will not raise due to the injury and tried pulling it up. I yelled in pain and he said “oh, what’s that?” I said “that hurts” “no frozen shoulder”, he said. I just stared at him. I had already been diagnosed with NO frozen shoulder, but instead, torn muscles and a slipped/torn rotator cuff as stated by my primary care doctor/MRI. He mocked me with a short laugh for not being able to take nsaids, and mocked a prescription my doctor gave me as being exactly the same as the standard. It isn’t, which is my doctor prescribed it. what really kills me is I was so hopeful, after several weeks of limited movement, only to be treated as a drugseeker or something, and never even seeing my MRI or making a plan.
