I have known Dr. Duffey for many years. My younger brother who was a cardiologist told me that if ever I needed an ophthalmologist that the medical community considered him to be the best. After two cataract surgeries he is as great a surgeon as he is a person. Dr. Duffey is a person of the highest character who walks with Jesus.

I recently underwent Lasik by Dr Duffey and, as someone who is terrified of having people that up close and personal to my face, I can honestly say I'd go back and do it again. Dr Duffey made the procedure painless and anxiety-free.

I could not be more thrilled with my new eye. I can see better out of that eye than I could as an elementary child. I am still in shock over the drastic improvement. I was never in any pain and the surgery was fast and efficient. Everyone was kind and helpful and the whole process could not have been more perfect. I can not make enough positive comments on such a treasure, restored vision in my left eye. Thank you to all, especially to Dr. Duffey.
