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.

Super!
Dr Jewell Duncan has done several of my surgeries...knee joint replacements, cysts removed from hand, bunionectomy.. I have always been taken care of very well by his staff and he has never steered me wrong.

Surprised
I am very clumsy and fall alot. I tore my rotator cuff ( very painful) Doc Duncan did surgery, was so personable , nice, funny, and caring. I need to see him again from another fall. When he opens his new practice I hope I am first patient.

DO NOT go to this MD
If you want to be pain free almost two years after a total knee replacement, DO NOT go to Jewell Duncan. My husband had a total knee replacement in 2021 and here we are having another one in 2023. He did not fit the plate to cover the length of the tibia and now it is sinking down causing knee instability. Also, he should have resurfaced the kneecap and did not. My husband complained several times after surgery about pain and feeling instability to Jewell Duncan and he would brush it off that it is still healing and it can take up to two years. He would do xrays and say everything was fine. I told my husband not to let him do the total knee replacement because he was arrogant, unprofessional, does not listen or explain, and rushes the appointment. When he decided to have another MD to look at his knee, I said you will not be going to Jewell Duncan. Also, we reviewed xrays post-op and current and let's just say DO NOT go to Jewll Duncan. My husband now says he should have listened.

What medical professional enters a room without introducing himself/herself to patient waiting to be seen? What medical professional enters a patient's room to make an assessment, talk or examine a patient without wearing a mask? This particular doctor (suppose to be professional took an oath to not just treat but to protect all mankind regardless of race, color or creed. We are in a "pandemic". This doctor stated, "I had " Coronavirus". Well what about the patient's waiting to be seen that are abiding by the rules implemented by the CDC? This person, has no compassion for others.

It's been awhile since I seen Dr Duncan but He is the Best. I desperately need a knee replacement. If I still had friends in Augusta, Dr Duncan would be the one to do the surgery...

Recovery process was very long for what was billed as simple cleaning up of the knee. I was on crutches and cane for 3 months. Had severe swelling for 6 months. The doctor has a good reputation, hopefully he just had a bad day during my operation.

Dr Duncan is a kind man and a good doctor, but he often fails to keep or runs late at his Aiken office. My experience is that the front office is very rude regarding his tardiness. If the provider is running late, the least the staff could do is be gracious and try to Be accommodating regarding rescheduling. It would certainly have been more considerate to call and push back appointment times instead of just making people wait. They continue to believe that drs time is more valuable than pts.

I saw Dr. Duncan for severe right hip pain. He performed a comprehensive examination including x-Ray, medication, MRI, and ultimately full right hip joint replacement surgery. Dr. Duncan is an experienced orthopedic surgeon and treated me professionally throughout the experience. I returned to work in eight weeks and I now have no hip pain thanks to Dr. Duncan.

Dr. Duncan was great to deal with, my reason for a "fair" rating is that after my achilles repair he had me starting physical therapy only 4-5 weeks later, which caused my ankle to swell like a beach ball. I had to be rushed into next day surgery to reduce pain and swelling. I have never recovered full use or sensation in that foot, and that was 8 years ago. I now need some additional surgery and I would be reluctant to go back after this experience.
