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.

HIGHLY recommended
Dr. Dugas has always been able to get me to a better place with my knees and shoulder. He listens well and explains things in a way that's easy to understand. I feel he's dedicated to getting to the root of problem and has excellent support staff to assist along the way.

Traumatic Experience
Heard very good, but experience was traumatic. No discussion - did not want to be there. Felt got 'stabbed' rather than shots. Have a high pain tolerance, but sobbing so much could not talk - he did not acknowlege. After could talk, I said needed to ask questions. He walked away and PA attempted to answer. Upon walking out to waiting room spouse shocked - 'What did they do to you?'

Check in was quick. Called in for exam soon after. Went for x-rays right after that. Doc Dugas came in soon afterwards. We discussed what he saw and suggested a different workout strategy and I was out of there. Perfect!
