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.

It was wonderful. Very professional and passionat
The staff was very nice. I was very nervous about my visit and when Dr Duffy started to explain what we are going to do I felt very uncomfortable.

Most Personable Doctor in Town
I see Dr. Duffy once a year, and it is always a pleasure. He reads data on his computer before entering the exam room so he can communicate that information to the patient face to face. He is personable and sympathetic in his discourse. He’s the best!

New patient
From the moment I checked in, the staff was kind and professional. Dr. Duffy took his time with me and actually sat down to talk to me while explaining images and his thoughts on best next steps. I had a previous experience at another area large Orthopedic practice which was the exact opposite of my experience at Southeast Orthopedics. Thank you Dr. Duffy.

An Excellent Experience
From the moment I checked in at the front counter I knew my visit was going to be great. The x-ray technicians were nice. Dr. Duffy’s assistant was nice and of course Dr. Duffy was nice. It’s been years since I have seen him. But he acted like it was just yesterday. He listened to my concerns and did not rush my visit with him. I was very happy when I left his office.

Dr. Duffy fully explained that my femur surgery by Dr. Rosenbaum was excellent. I now feel reassured that, with continued physical therapy, I will have a good recovery.

Initial consultation for knee injury
Dr Duffy reviewed my x-rays before he examined me. He gave me a very thorough explanation on what the x-rays showed and what he thought my issue was. He was very professional and gave me a complete rundown on what he could do to help me today and in the future. I was very impressed.

Outstanding Doctor
Went to get second opinion on knee replacement surgery. He provided an outstanding assessment of my X-Ray and the status of my right knee. He has a great bed side manner and provided his honest opinion that I do not need replacement surgery and he would not do it…he said I need to cut back on impact related exercises and do more bike, etc. Love the guy. Would highly recommend to any considering knee related issues.

Dr Duffy
Dr. Duffy is a great doctor. He is very friendly and explains everything to you. I highly recommend him. My surgery was done by him 12 years ago on my right knee replacement and 11 years ago on my right hip replacement. He says I’m doing great and I’m really glad to hear that.
