Dr Duncan was outstanding during our initial consultation. He was thorough. Took great notes, as evidenced by his write up on mychartplus for me to see. And he will come up with a plan after seeing all results. My father died of a heart attack at 52.

Dr. Duncan is the best. I had a health concern while traveling abroad and through the portal he responded almost immediately. My husband and I were so appreciative. Hopefully, all those in medical school can use him as an example of excellence in the medical profession.

5 out of 5 stars

Dr Brett Duncan is seriously the best Dr that I’ve been to in many years ! As healthcare has gotten less patient focused ( in my opinion) , this physician acted as if I was the only patient he had all day ! He had done his homework on my medical history from two different hospitals , and addressed every concern I had . He then did a thorough exam and together we put a plan in place going forward . On top of that he was kind and sincere in his interactions with myself and my spouse . I am very happy with this new physician !
