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.

A pleasant visit
The office is very efficient. I was able to check in for my appointment online. Dr. Duckworth is an excellent gastroenterologist. He keeps up with the latest research in the field.

Didn’t listen to my concerns
I came to Dr. Duckworth with chronic and intense abdominal pain. When my colonoscopy was clear, he did not investigate any further. He told me I had IBS, did not offer adequate symptom management support, and dismissed my questions and concerns. I have since had a diagnosis of endometriosis confirmed as the source of my pain. I hope that Dr. Duckworth will consider and investigate endometriosis as a possibility for his female patients in the future, and that he will listen to his patients about their experiences moving forward.

Dr. Duckworth did two procedures on me and I was nervous and as soon as he was talking I calm down. He is amazing and really cares about his patients and listens. I highly recommend him

Highly recommend!
Dr Duckworth was very thorough and explained everything. Came into the exam room with no paperwork so he was focused on me and nothing else. Very busy practice but efficient without feeling rushed. Highly recommend!

Hands down best Gastro Dr. Ever!
I had several dealings with other Gastro doctors who would not listen to what was going on and were diagnosing me without listening to what I was experiencing. When I found Dr. Duckworth alittle over a year ago, He has listened to every word, every problem, and every need I have. He goes above and beyond for me. I wish I would have found him A LOT sooner! He has a fantastic bed side manner and a great staff working for him.

He is the best person and physician imaginable. He has a sweet and caring spirit and always takes time to answer questions. He never rushes in and out and has a way of making me feel as if I the only patient he is seeing the whole day. Highly recommend him. He is a life saver.

He made me feel a lot better about getting my colonoscopy done. He is straight forward and always explains conditions or terms I don't understand while not feeling rushed. I appreciated all the efforts of the office to have sanitizer and temperature checks at the door during COVID. Thank you!

This office is WAY too over booked. Takes forever to get an appointment. Wait time is horrible then, Doctors only spend a few min with you . Staff is rude, difficult to get test results or make an appt.

see that huge exuberant grin on his face in his profile pics? that's the same grin he uses when he tells u you have stage 3 cancer while trying to excuse himself and explain away how he failed to followed up the the years in order to catch stage 1. I do highly recommend Dr Murphy in this group but for the love of God don't get yourself stuck with Duckworth. Oh my God, c what a waste of our loved ones life.

Bad experience; in fact, mine is a life n death experience and I believe had I gone to another local Gastro Dr (ANY other gastro Dr), we'd not be at stage 4 cancer presently. I can't get my life back but I can warn others to steer clear of this Dr.
