Dr. Duncan and his whole medical team and staff are extremely professional. My daughter had a severe case of scoliosis and Dr. Duncan was straight to the point and told us that a major spine surgery would be our best course of action because my daughter's condition would only be worse with time. My daughter has faces many health issue and had other major surgeries which made it difficult to accept another life threatening surgery. But I put all of my trust in Dr. Duncan's experience and knowledge that the surgery would be a success. On behave of my daughter and I we would definitely recommend Dr. Duncan to any patient suffering from back pain and in need of an excellent surgeon with high expertise on issue of the spine. After the surgery Dr. Duncan made regular visits to make sure my daughter's recovery was going well and insure there were no post surgery complications. Overall, I have noting but great things to say about Dr. Duncan and everyone who works with him.

"After my initial visit, Dr. Duncan recommended I have a course of physical therapy. And although I was a little skeptical, I trusted him being that he was the Specialist. I appreciate the fact that he started off with conservative treatment and not so aggressive as other doctor's I had seen in the past. I still see Dr. Duncan for the management of my back problems and have also recommended him to many family members and friends. All who have nothing but good words of their experience with Dr. Duncan. God Bless,"
