    Dr. Duke is excellent. He went back in my records 11 years, he would have gone further had they been electronic prior to that. He explained everything throughly. He showed empathy, humor, and knowledge. I have never been to a provider that took as much time during my visit or prior to my visit to prepare for it as Dr. Duke did.

    The amount of time Dr Duke spends with me is unheard of. I do not feel rushed in any way and he explains things very clearly and lets me ask as many questions as needed
  • Oct, 23 2023
    Dr. Duke is probably the best provider I have ever seen and I've seen alot. He explains everything so carefully and thoroughly. I feel like I'm a student in a medical class during my appointments which is awesome! I have never felt rushed during my visit nor pressured into any treatment. He told me during my very first visit with him that every morning for every patient he thoroughly studies our charts prior to each visit. I don't think I've ever had any doctor do that. I wish he was my primary care or any kind of specialist physician.
