    Dr Duke showed so much compassion and kindness. Even though I had an appointment scheduled already for a few weeks out, they graciously moved my appointment up and squeezed me in asap due to the urgency of my situation and a recent trip to the ER. The staff was kind and welcoming, I was taken to an exam room before my appointment time, and Dr. Duke was amazing and patient and walked me through everything and options. You can tell he genuinely cares for his patients. Even though the clinic closed at 5, they all stayed longer for me and for that I am grateful.
