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.

5-Star Treatment
I dreaded going in for a routine colonoscopy as much as everyone else. Upon entering, I was greeted by the receptionist. I was called to the back after waiting a few minutes. Dr. Duplechain’s nurse was so nice and explained everything. Dr. Duplechain and the anesthesiologist came in and also introduced themselves. Both had a good sense of humor. I felt like they really cared about me being comfortable. After the procedure, Dr. Duplechain explained the results to my husband and me. I was in and out in 1.5 hours. Someone from Dr. Duplechain’s called the next day to check on me. Definitely 5-Star treatment!

I can only guess he is as nice as he seems
Drs either have a great bedside manner, or don’t. I have really had a chance to sit and talk, but the reg Dr referred me there due to the vomiting and bleeding. The latter from the other end. I have SLE Lupus, and had to do each part separate. The biopsies were negative for both. But, it was months before I could get the vomiting under control. I lost a lot of weight and can only think it was due to a lot of inflammation in my stomachs area. The most horrible thing I’ve had since the diagnosis. There’s this trickle type blood and biopsy was ok Did remove polyps from the area that hurts. And biopsied that area. I go in a few weeks to discuss where we go from here. But, his work staff!!!! So nice! They can make or break a Dr. On top of my a “hard stick” I do have a medical port just for that reason, but for this type of procedure it’s not warranted. If nurses can laugh at what they do day in and day out; then I’m in the right place ??

Everyone in the office is professional and courteous. Dr Duplechain is very knowledgeable about my problem and had a plan. The nurse called me back with planned procedure and explained the details and why I needed to do before and after. I feel very comfortable about I have to do and what to expect. Dr Duplechain also explained each step of my care. All professional. I have recommended him to several friends.

I first met Dr Duplechain when he treated my husband who was helicoptered to the hospital in an emergency. He took his time to explain everything in a way that I could understand. When my own gastric issues required a specialist, I didn’t have to think twice. I remembered Dr. Duplechain, his knowledge and kindness. He helps me while I learn to live with my diagnosis. He has my trust in his abilities as a gastroenterologist. And I am grateful for his empathy which makes our communication regarding my medical issues much easier.
