Hi, I was actually told that Dr. Ducko was one of the best there is in his field. And I have a questionable cancer or slow-growing tumor in my left, my right lung. And he's been really good in teaching me what I can do and what he's looking for and when he's going to, you know, what he wants to do next. And I feel very confident with him as my doctor. And I know other people who are professionals in the field and also people who've had him, they feel the same way.

Dr. Ducko was exactly who I hoped he'd be. He was professional, respectful, courteous and obviously highly knowledgeable. I appreciated his absolute decisiveness on what the next best step for me would be. Although he speaks very fast and I'm the type of person who needs to slowly absorb things. However, he never didn't allow me to interject with a question and assured me everything he was telling me will be on my report I can access through the portal.
