Felt very comfortable with Dr Ducko. His explanation of my health issue was made in a way that both me and my husband understood. The nurse who took my blood pressure etc was one of the nicest nurses I have encountered with.

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.

Dr Ducko is very thorough and knowledgeable. I have been his patient for 13 years. He discusses test results as soon as possible- usually the same day. This is very important to patients especially if you have a cancer diagnosis.
