Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Duncan - Excellent
Entered thinking I'd chosen a treatment path. Dr. Duncan clearly explained my status and understandably explained all options. Decided to do further analysis before making a treatment decision. Very important and informative discussion.

Dr Duncan is a great physician.
Dr Duncan is the ultimate professional. He explains things well and answers questions. Took time that was necessary, and not in a hurry. He had done his homework beforehand and was very familiar with my case. My wife went with me and she was very pleased as well.

Thorough and Compassionate
'I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Duncan at Urology Centers of Alabama, and I can honestly say he is an exceptional physician. From the moment I walked into the clinic, Dr. Duncan made me feel comfortable, informed, and truly cared for. He took the time to listen to all my concerns, explained each part of the diagnosis and treatment plan in a way that was easy to understand, and ensured I felt confident about every step.

Excellence Personified
I was anxious coming into this appointment because no one likes receiving the news that necessitated the visit. Dr. Duncan was warm, inviting, super smart and an excellent communicator. He used technical terms but broke everything down and was very good at educating me about my illness and available options. I left feeling a lot more comfortable about the process and challenging decisions that lie ahead for me.
