So kind and caring and thorough! I have never felt rushed and always felt like really listens to you. She’s great!

Review for Dr. Huner
Entered thinking I'd chosen a treatment path. Dr. Duncan clearly explained my status and understandably explained all options. Decided to do further analysis before making a treatment decision. Very important and informative discussion.

Review for Dr. Duncan
He talks fast, so, being hard hearing, I had to ask him to speak louder and slower, because my condition was so serious, I didn't want to miss anything that was being discussed! He did a surgery that no other cardiothoracic surgeon was willing to attempt, because all had said I would not make it...
