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.

Excellent care by all staff snd Dr.

He is a great doctor
This is a third visit to Dr Duval. He corrected an issue with my arm a few years ago. He explains everything and is good at follow up!

Same Old Same Old
I saw Dr. Duval for the second time yesterday and he did a complete 180 from my first visit. On my first visit in January, he seemed caring ad compassionate about my situation and didn't treat me like a number. However, this visit was VERY different. Firstly, he had wanted me to lose some weight before he would do surgery. When they called me back, his team didn't even bother to weigh me to check. I had to correct him on my current weight verbally. Secondly, nobody on his team saw a person this time, only a number on a chart that I will NEVER fit into, even at a healthy weight for me. Not only did they not listen, he increased the amount of weight he wanted me to lose, and refused to listen to the fact that I have already been on weight loss medications that have not worked for me, stating he would 'refer me to a weight loss doctor who could prescribe the 'right' one'. This doctor is not willing to help an individual. he has changed into one of the many who don't actually see 'you'.

First time patient period. Having intake paperwork available to complete on the patient portal before appointment was a time saver. Wait time was literally five minutes. Staff incredibly kind and professional. Met with both Dr. Duval and his nurse practitioner, and both we're amazingly informative and reassuring. Not only will I be going back again for a follow up, but I am already planning to schedule my husband for an appointment as well.
