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.

Fantastic, broke my knee cap and after surgery, rehab and doing what he said I am doing very well. Happy with him all the way around.

I left the office feeling embarrassed and belittled. He spent less than 2 minutes actually inspecting the mechanics of my knees, told me that my story was confusing to him and that he didn't believe my pain was that bad because I had lived with it for so long. He made me feel like I was making it up, and dismissed my pain as a result of me just being a mom whose body was older and had been through a lot having children. He told me that pops and aches are normal, and that I should find exercises that do not hurt my knees, and look into getting a personal trainer. I told him it didn't start popping until I had pain after performing squats, and he completely dismissed the idea of an injury. Wouldn't even consider it. I cried as soon as I got outside of the office. I have never felt so dismissed by a doctor in my life. I refuse to believe that because I am a mother and 40 that I am supposed to just live with chronic knee pain, or that I cannot be active just because I am a mom of three.

Sent to Dr. Dupay for a work related injury. After three visits, I finally saw him and not the PA. Was released, but three months later, the same pain and swelling returned. Went back. Was told not work related but arthritis. Got a shot, did not ever want to return but had to in order to be fully released. Again, told arthritis. Aggravated the injury, was told arthritis and water on the knee caused by arthritis. Fluid was drained, only after having to ask to have it done. Fast forward a month later, still told arthritis, week later heard a pop, am now awaiting surgery to repair a tear. A tear that would have been seen if an MRI had been done. Never ordered on. Kept telling me it was my weight, I needed a different career, and arthritis. I will NEVER go back to this doctor!

Fantastic doctor and staff. I had both knees replaced and full function and movement were restored. Doctor Dupay took time to explain the procedure prior to surgery and was very assuring. Would definitely recommend his service!!!

He performed wrist surgery which messed up nerves and caused a great deal of pain. Tried a second surgery to repair what he messed up initially. Sent me to another surgeon who did yet a third surgery and due to extreme pain caused blood pressure to remain elevated and causing anuerysyms in brain. I will never be able to maintain a normal lifestyle again on my own. would never recommend this Physician to anyone.

Probably could't be worse. Had minor stiffness, he operated 10 years ago and now I can barely walk without a lot of pain! From my own research I couldn't find anyone who had a good opinion of him

Dr Dupay recently did full knee replacement surgery. I would highly recommend him. He’s very caring & explained whole procedure before I made decision to go through with it. Karlene Woodbine, PA-C is just as wonderful! Very caring & attentive to my concerns. The rest of the staff is very friendly & caring. A great experience all around!

Star rating: I would have rated it a 5 star if it was based on the staff---they were friendly, capable staff--However, the reason I rated it a three star is because of the length of time it took to be seen/assessed--which to me deserved only a 1 star: My appointment was scheduled for 10 AM--and I wasn't seen by the practitioner until 11:30 AM. This delay is really unacceptable if an appointment has been made in advance--and even though this kind of wait was common practice years ago--most clinics these days have resolved this issue.
