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.

Not just a home run, Durward gets a GRAND SLAM
Dr Durward completely changed my future. The last 4 years I had spiraled downward to unable to stand or walk. My neurosurgeon words were "you've got a lot going on in your spine, there is nothing I can do" I went to see Dr Durward. His reply was "you need surgery now and you should be able to walk like you used to" Due to Dr Durward and his team's skill and preparation, I am walking pain free 2 weeks after surgery! My life, my future has been so blessed. Thank you thank you Quentin Durward

Dr. Durward saved my life in 1991 after a car accident. Neck pain and MRI changes led Dr. Andrews at CNOS to refer me to a different surgeon Dr. Johnson who left me in tears with no understanding, questioning why I was in his office. I requested a second opinion with Dr. Durward (whom I should have requested at the start). Dr. Durward explained to me what the MRI changes meant and understood my pain. I left feeling like he cared and was there to help. Amazing how two Surgeons at same CNOS practice were completely different. So, if you know you're having pain, don't suffer because of one non caring mans opinion. There are good people in the world like Dr. Durward that will take the time to help you.

I have been a patient of Dr. Durward's off and on for the past 16 years. He has continuously solved the issues I have experience with great skill and expertise. I am not an expert on surgeries but I would highly recommend him, his staff and the Dune's Surgical Center for the professional and caring help I have received in the past! Thank you so much!

There's not enough good things I can say about this man. He's kind, straightforward and compassionate in a way that doesn't beat around the bush. I have a herniated disc at L5 S1 and he did absolutely everything possible to keep me out of the OR following my work injury. He is by far the best neurosurgeon I have met. As long as I have this debilitating spine injury I will choose Dr. Quentin Durward. If I could give him 100 stars I would. That's how much he's done for me and my health. The only thing that I'd say is the wait times could be worked on BUT if you see him, be patient because you are getting the absolute best care from him. Trust me, he is well worth the wait. Thank you Doc!
