Robert W. Dugas, M.D.

Great

Always friendly. Listens, and gives good understandable directions for recovery.

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.

Very informative gave me options

Great bedside manner. Always answers my questions in terms I understand. Great surgeon

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.

Dr. Dugas is the best-very thorough and kind!

I have trusted Dr. Dugas with all my knee surgeries from high school till today at almost 50. He is very knowledgeable and efficient. He truly cares for the patient. You are not just a number to him. His staff is always so friendly and helpful.

Absolutely one of the best doctors I have seen. Very knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail.

Knowledgeable and friendly

Robert helps people get off the sideline and back in the game — literally and metaphorically. Whether you’re competing or if you just want to maintain an active lifestyle, you cannot find a better doctor/orthopedist than Robert Dugas. I can’t give a high enough rating. I trust him with my life.

I would recommend Dr Dugas to anyone anytime he did a great job on both shoulders

Great doctor. He’s professional and knowledgeable. My husband and I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Very professional and reassuring.

Always very Pleasant and professional, very satisfied with the medical care

Dr. Dugas was professional and helpful as he diagnosed my right knee. The x-ray showed no fluid. The first person who completed the intake was thorough and his physician assistant was thorough and asked of I needed an injection for knee pain. It was decided that PT was best suited for my knee tightness and pain.

I ve always felt i could depend on anything he s told me about my surgery or followup. Never have any doubt s about my care.

Dr. Dugas was fabulous. Answered all of our questions and was very patient and took his time to explain everything. I would highly recommend him.

Could have been a little more friendly and put the patient at ease.

Exceptional crew, not that I have much surgical experience, but Dr. and his entire crew have been amazing to me. Thank you for your fine care!

My appointment was made quickly and I did not have a long wait. All of the staff was friendly and informative. Dr. Dugas explained the possibility of having surgery and let me know the positive and negatives results of having it done or not done.

Great physician

No bedside manner. Failed to consider patients reason for making early am appt. Said I was "flipping a coin" in seeing him instead of surgeon that did my other knee, which I would have gladly done had I'd gotten an early or late afternoon appointment. He was very cold and very unprofessional.

Always good to have someone who knows what they’re doing help. Great patience and demeanor.

One of the few that don't leave you just sitting . They get you in talk to you and your out fast and efficient

So personable and extremely professional.

Visit was a good appointment

I always enjoy Dr Dugas. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and direct.

When I scheduled the appointment, the person I spoke with said I should plan on being there for an hour. I arrived at 12:10pm for my 12:30pm appt to complete new patient paperwork. After I completed the paperwork, I was directed to the exam room at 12:30pm and met with someone who did my intake. I then proceeded to wait in the exam room for 50 minutes. No one communicated with me at all. I finally opened the door at 1:20pm and talked to the person who had done my intake. I asked how much longer it was going to be and explained that I needed to be back at work by 2:00pm. She informed me that they were still waiting on the third view of my x-ray. I asked if she meant that they were still waiting for my PCP’s office to send it and she said that my PCP’s office did not get a view of my shoulder that they needed. She said we were going to have to reschedule my appt but was unable to give me any indication of how long of a time frame to block out next time. I chose not to reschedule.

Excellent surgeon and good bedside manner

I love how confident he was in his diagnosis but also able to listen and answer questions that I had. Even though he knew the answer, he didn't belittle my questions.

The facility is clean and easy to get around, and the staff is absolutely magnificent. Dr. Dugas diagnosis was concise and correct. He has also followed up frequently on my condition.

Great experience!!!! Dr. Dugas and all his staff were wonderful. Provided detailed and timely information. Listened to my concerns and addressed them. The surgery I had went great and the follow-up was great

Very Good

Absolutely excellent ! 🤔

His demeanor is apathetic and arrogant. I wanted help, and his basic response was deal with it. I believed I would be sent out without any further help for my pain. At the last he did order further testing, but not before I begged for something else to be done just so I could stay active.

Always the best and kind and pleasant

Dr Dugas is very knowledgeable and good at communicating clearly the issues and treatment.

Our son has been in for a fractured elbow, knee surgery, and a broken arm. He is only 10 years old and now thinks Dr. Dugas is the only doctor he’ll ever need. Dr. Dugas and his team have always been the very best!

Pleasant & efficient appointment.

Doctor Dugas is a great orthopedic surgeon who has been able to help me 25 years ago as well as our daughter. This recent surgery was more difficult than the last time and I am confident that I will be able to use my right arm with all my physical therapy in the normal amount of time required for healing.

Everything was great about his service. Very informative, explained thing so I could understand. I would recommend his service to anyone. A real class act.

Very good and explain everything

Great physician, takes care of his patients , very caring, appreciate what he’s done for me 🤠

It would be nice if Doc. Dugas would call me by my name.

Very Professional, and him explaining detais in a very simple way.

He took the time to listen to my concerns and presented favorable options.

Did not give me time to even ask questions or seem like he gave a damn. Good surgeon but not approachable. My follow up was a joke and I feel cheated out of the cost for an office visit, 2 minutes does not equal what you have to pay.

Very kind and caring bedside manner!

I don't give highest rating as there is no room for any improvement,even if it's a 5 Dr.Dugas was not with me very long,PA oretty much did the consult.

didnt talk to me what they saw on the extra. Didn’t even mention it. I talked with his nurse and PA. But as far as the doctors he came in, was there maybe 2 min. Walked out. Didn’t tell me if they were done talking to me or if I should wait.

Competent and efficient--great for my work / lifestyle.

Very kind

Thank you doctor dugas for fixing me up my right shoulder is brand new god bless you and staff

It is nice dealing with a doctor who actually cares about his patient

Receive excellent care from Dr Dugas, would highly recommend him!

Not the most friendly person. Doesn't really go over test results. You have to ask. I think he is a good surgeon. He is all business.

Dr Dugas, Great surgeon and Easy to talk too.

Very professional, courteous and knowledgeable

Great doctor:) would recommend him to anyone

Very Direct in telling you what needs to be done. I appreciate this!

Great Doc!! Very kind and considerate let’s you know up front what’s going on Thank you Dr Dugas and all your staff your the best!!

Explained issue and aftercare thoroughly. Also understands allergies.

Very knowledgeable and friendly

Stayed 2 hours for a not even a 5 min visit with dr. Very irritating

He is a straight shooter and explains my issues well.. Go LSU and have fun on your trip Dr.

Excellent Dr.

Calm, gentle, informative, patient

Dr. Dugas was personable and caring. He throughly examined my daughter and asked questions listening at her responses.

He gave me a clear plane of care.

Appreciated the way he took the time to talk with me--sitting right beside me--and not have to go over everything again.

He’s a very compassionate Dr 😊😊😊

Amazing Dr- Great bed side manner Honest with results from surgery Thankful he is in Nebraska

Dr. Dugas is the best at what he does!

Competent, proven by myself

Very nice answers questions easily takes the time

Dr.Dugas was not there but his pa was great. Nurses at chi we're not friendly and very rude.

Thank you so much for helping me!

Sorry for my altitude the other day hadn't had much sleep the night before. I like to travel by myself and for some reason got stuck with my step daughter I'm happy with the surgery pain mostly gone unless I over work it. I'm very independent I thought It'd recover faster and have a little more reach with it. I've had several different surgeries all with your group of doctors they tried to get me to have it down here I totally trust and respect your firm. Loved the surgery center as well

Excellent and very caring!

I met Dr. Dugas for the first time today. He and his staff (Amanda and Amanda) were all very kind, efficient, knowledgeable and listed to me and answered my questions.

He is the best around.

Felt like I was wasting his time and being a burden that I even had an appt. Was short and non helpful.

Thank you doctor for my continued health you work wonders on rotator!

Very kind and caring. Dr. Dugas did a wonderful job with my surgery and aftercare. Always has a smile on his face!

Saw his Assistant she was wonderful.

I felt very comfortable with him.

I would give Robert Dugas the highest possible rating an orthopedist could garner.

Wonderful!!

Good bedside manner

Prompt courteous informative

He’s the best !!!

He is the best doctor

The care & treatment was excellent!

He is a good doctor I really liked the way he explained everything and thankyou so much for getting my mri done right away

Was in such a hurry! Was walking out of the room while I was still asking questions about my care!

I appreciated his conservative approach to treatment. He didn’t order a bunch of testing out the gate to investigate all issues but focused his attention on the true issue.

Great Doctor/Surgeon. Very informational, would recommend to everyone

Didn't seem to listen or care about the issues I am having. I tried to explain all of my symptoms but he changed the subject. He was only in my room for about 5 minutes.

Couldn't be happier with Dr. Dugas and his staff. My procedure went perfectly and he and his staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Hopefully I don't need their services again, but will definitely use them if I do!

Professional and reassuring in his treatment.

Not helpful, made me feel it was all my fault that I was in pain and had arthritis. Didn't give much for a solution. Don't feel comfortable coming back. Felt like he barely knew my situation.

took his time, explained things, concerned, encouraging

One of the BEST Doctors I have found .very caring ,you understand him when he tells you what his plans are for your surgery .One of the best

Dr. Dugas is very honest and straight foreword with his answers to all my questions for my surgery and especially my recovery concerns.

Got in right on my appointment time.

Prescribe me a med that would be in conflict with two of my conditions and one of my other meds. I'm glad I checked on the compatibility the pharmacy didn't even notice.

Thank you!

Great doctor

Didn't see doctor until over an hour after scheduled appointment. Once I finally saw the doctor, he spent no more than 4 minutes with me, did not show me my MRIs, did not even tell me the name of the surgery that he was signing me up for.

Great care. I would have liked even on the phone to discuss positives and negatives of surgery bad timing I think. I decided on surgery because of my confidence in Dr. Dugas and your staff.

Great doctor and staff listens to your concerns very kind and gentle

Very nice doctor. Unsure what comes next.

Nice. Easy to talk to. He actually examined me himself when so many docs have the PA do it. Also, didn’t recommend surgery as others are so likely to do.

An amazing Doctor I am so happy that Work Comp hooked me up with him...i can tell he really cares about his patients.....

Honesty

Kind, great information

Good, but longer wait in waiting room than anticipated.

I liked his easy manner. He explained my situation to me and did NOT push surgery as the immediate course of action.
