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.

Best Orthopedic Surgeon
I have not been to Dr. Duffy for many years because I moved to FL. I miss him because he did a wonderful job on both my shoulders and knee replacement. He cares about his patients. My husband was also a patient. When he was diagnosed with lung cancer and later passed on he became a friend and called often. It was apprecisted more than he realized.

Best Dr.
If you need a Dr. to help and guide you through difficult issues in the direction of so many surgical and non surgical procedures Dr. Duffy is the best. He takes special care meeting the needs of the patient documenting everything as he examines someone making sure you know all your options. I used him for a second opinion and was very happy. Some Dr. Forget what happens with patients. I had Dr that didn't like documenting anything that was not right with my surgery. (He could do no wrong) Dr. Duffy examine me and realized some other medical issues and what the options were. He was willing to help me with any surgeries that I may have needed going forward. I'm very appreciative of all that he's done.

This good man is the best Orthopedic Surgeon to be found anywhere. Although he will tell a fool what he or she needs to hear, not what they necessarily want to hear. Thus the negative reviews. Two rotator cuff surgeries with great results. Thank you Doctor Duffy, Dave A

Would give zero stars if possible. Horrible bedside manner. Is not concerned about you or your health, just his payday. Arrived 15 minutes early for appointment then waited over an HOUR to be seen. He also seems a little slow in processing information. Definitely avoid.

Definitely one of the worst "doctors". He is more of a businessman than a doctor. Does not care about the patient or their problems. Is more concerned about making money and scheduling you to as many appointments as possible. Rude, indifferent and careless. Does not want to hear you out and is simply in the practice to fill his pockets. AVOID

Hands down worst Doctor I have ever met. Does not let you know what is going on. Leaves you in the room waiting without knowing what you are waiting for, meanwhile he is eating a sandwich. Does not leave room for you to ask questions. Purely rude.
