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.

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Duckett is extremely knowledgeable and does not sugarcoat the truth about what is best for you to improve your own health. If you can’t be honest with yourself, go elsewhere. He is the best Doctor I have ever visited and will stay with him until the end!

This is not a doctors office. This is an activist office. If you disagree with woke ideology then do not go here. They had a fit when i didn't have pronouns and refused to answer stupid questions that have NOTHING to do with health

TRUST THE REVIEWS! RUDE!
Adam is not someone I would ever consider a competent doctor by any stretch of the imagination. When I required bloodwork for my TRT protocols, Adam's reaction to my TRT usage was extreme. He went on a rant, reprimanding me like a child, warning of the dire consequences of "juicing." He insisted that he would not address any other symptoms until I abruptly halted my testosterone levels. It was bewildering to encounter a doctor who would suggest such a reckless approach without any proper protocols or medication. Naturally, I decided not to return to him and sought a new TRT doctor instead. The new doctor not only recognized the low levels of testosterone but also increased my dose to alleviate the persistent feelings of lethargy and discomfort. The improvement has been remarkable, and I have never felt better.

I should have listened to the reviews
The earlier review says it all, "Started seeing Dr. Duckett less than 6 months ago. Will not be returning. I decided to give him a chance even after reading reviews but found all negative feedback was true." I can't say how many times he reminded me he was the county coroner. I won't go to a Doctor who won't listen to me. When I want to be preached at I'll go to Church on Sunday. Very disappointed in my experience at that office.

Doesn't care about your problems unless they're weight and blood pressure. Name calls your other specialist Doctors. Abrupt and rude. Doesn't do anything besides blood tests and telling you the results are perfect even when multiple things are out of range.

Started seeing Dr. Duckett less than 6 months ago. Will not be returning. I decided to give him a chance even after reading reviews but found all negative feedback was true. Went in for upper back pain and he never even palpated the area or came within 5 ft of me. He ordered labs which he stated were remarkable but in fact my levels were off the charts (I work in a laboratory) He then ordered a chest xray and CT of my chest. Mind you im having back pain... When questioned he tried to say i complained of chest pain, yes because it was radiating from my BACK! Then said he has back pain and sometimes you gotta live with it :/ So yesterday i go for my CHEST CT and i ask the tech will he be able to see anything to do with my back? You know where the pain is. Her answer..NO! And since there is no contrast he wont see anything with blood vessels and such which he tried to say he ordered so he could see such vessels. In conclusion steer clear of this office if take charge of your own health.

Dr Ducket was my primary care physician for just over a year. Initially, my appointments were rushed and dismissive. I asked him to help me understand a prescription he gave me, and he took it defensively, as if I was questioning his ability. Each appointment felt like he clicked a stop watch to hurry me out the door. UNTIL he learned that I hold a prominent position in the area. Then he became friendly and helpful. (I guess he’s on the city council and enjoys the good ole boys club environment). I dropped him when he misdiagnosed a condition I have, saying it was nothing more than swollen muscles (it was gout).

1. He stands far away from you 2. He hears but doesn’t listen 3. He interrupts you so he can dictate 4. No bedside manner 5. Has to remind himself what your illness is 6. No respect for your previous medical experiences; dismissive attitude 7. God forbid you have any input 8. Cost me my job because of lack of knowledge and compassion 9. Don’t walk away, Run!

Do not go to this doctor. He thinks he can say whatever he wants and do whatever he wants just because he's a coroner. I wish I could sue him! He told my boyfriend he will be dead in a year!

I have been seeing Dr. Duckett for over a year now. We came back to the Central New York area from Minnesota where we used the top rated Mayo Health Clinic system. Since seeing Dr. Duckett I have received very good and professional medical advice from him. He knows when and is not hesitant to send you to a specialist when needed. I respect his candor and honesty. He has always appeared to care about my good health and preventative measures, but of course most of the fallow-through lie
