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.

Wasted Day
Wasted my time. Saw me ; referred about thyroid nodules and surgery told me to come back in 6 months for another ultrasound. First noticed nodules 6/17/20; U.S.9/23/21 showed enlargement; all I’ve been looking for is a Dr to remove before they get larger.I have an VNS ( pack maker for brain / seizures). Bottom line is Dr Duplan wasn’t going to surgery anyway; afraid to bother the VNS . Why not be straight about it instead patient had to ask Dr were you going to do surgery after this 6 months.

My son saw this doctor for sleep issues.He spent less than 5 min with him. He tried to see him for a sore throat and congestion. The receptionist said he was a “specialist” and he would need to see a family doctor for that and would not see him. Wow!! Horrible doctor and practice in my opinion—- I am a practicing RN of 36 years!
