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.

Best doctor, caring team, great communication
Dr Duerden and his helpful, caring team went out of their way to answer all of my questions and provide accurate documentation required for my company. He really listened to me and thoroughly discussed my options for treatment. I’m so pleased I chose OrthoVirginia and Dr Duerden!

Three Times the Charm
Dr. Duerden was the third practitioner I saw at OrthoVirginia. I was amazed at the efficacy of the entire practice from front desk on, and my experience with Dr. Duerden did nothing but further my outstanding opinion of them. After X-rays and consultation about the problem I sought help for, I brought up a second and entirely unplanned issue. Dr. Duerden didn’t miss a beat, listened patiently and then inquired of other staff members if they had the capability of performing the special X-rays I needed. Lo and behold, they did, and I left my visit with a referral and script for a long-standing problem. I believe great care and service ( going the extra mile) are the hallmark of this practice and it’s doctors and staff. Kudos to Doctors Pinkos, MacLean and Duerden, and their terrific team for being an amazingly proficient and professional group of individuals!! I feel like I am in excellent hands!

Dr. Duerdon is a caring, kind and wonderful doctor
Dr. Duerdon is a very caring and compassionate doctor. My mother broke a bone in her leg and a metal rod was inserted in her thigh. Dr. Duerdon did the surgery and it was successful. He explained everything that was going to be done and patiently answered the questions we had. My mother was 90 years old when this happened and she is now 92 years old. She talks about Dr. Duerdon often. He is a favorite doctor.

Excellent
A visit to the ER left me with unanswered concerns and my diagnosis on discharge paperwork was very poor. I needed a second opinion and answers to my questions. Enter Dr. Duerdon for my second opinion. Dr. Duerdon listened to my concerns and questions and answered them each, seperately and fully while installing the highest level of confidence in his care. Very pleased with the processes at OrthoVA, the immediate follow-up care, and a plan moving forward for future care if needed. Thank you Dr. Duerdon.

Excellent care
Dr. Deurden provided excellent treatment for my broken fibula which included surgical repair. He was both professional and friendly and took time to answer any and all questions. Best of all, I had a great treatment outcome. In addition, his assistant, Morgan, was readily available to follow up on any questions I had between visits. They were both encouraging during treatment and recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Deurden.

Miracle surgeon - Excellent
Wonderful experience with VirginiaOrtho Clinic. Great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start to finish. Appreciate Dr. Duerden taking time to go over the diagnosis clearly and treatment options. Dr. Duerden was a wonderful (miracle) reconstructive surgeon, extremely supportive, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. Dr. Duerden is incredible. Not only has he taken great care of my health, but also he is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient and excels in outstanding quality medical care and skill. I highly recommend becoming his patient! I am so glad I chose VirginiaOrtho and would highly recommend to anyone.

I am a grandfather of a dedicated high level high school soccer player. Dr. Deurden’s approach is thorough. From the x-ray to the physical exam to the patient interview, he demonstrates his extensive experience in ankle and foot treatment for athletes. I was so impressed that I am now under his care for a Jones fracture of the foot. I have recommended him to the parents of other Beach FC players.
