Great doctor - knows his craft , takes very good care of you -Explains all details of care and results -

5 out of 5 stars

Dr Brett Duncan is seriously the best Dr that I’ve been to in many years ! As healthcare has gotten less patient focused ( in my opinion) , this physician acted as if I was the only patient he had all day ! He had done his homework on my medical history from two different hospitals , and addressed every concern I had . He then did a thorough exam and together we put a plan in place going forward . On top of that he was kind and sincere in his interactions with myself and my spouse . I am very happy with this new physician !

Meeting with Dr. Duncan is always angst free for me. When i follow his plan for me he notices and is appreciative. The office staff is courteous and the appointment progresses smoothly. .

Dr. Duncan is amazing!. he's truly very kind, great listener, gives great advice and communicates very well. he made me feel welcomed and comfortable to talk to. I didn't feel rushed from my appointment. He's truly a rare, one of a kind doctor. 5 Stars indeed!I was also greeted by warm smile and warm welcome from the front check-in staff. The MA was very nice and explained everything she was going to do before doing it. she made sure the room was clean and follow the right contact precaution, for that she gets 5 Stars. I just wished I could remember her name as well as the front staff who checked me in for the appointment.ps- i was seen in the Farmington office

Dr. Brett Duncan is a wonderful doctor! He is reassuring, listens like he cares, shares the most current research in the discussion, and does it all with sincerity! I love his “our door is always open “ if you have concerns before your next appointment. If you need a cardiologist, I hope he is still accepting new patients because you will not be disappointed! 🤗

Dr. Duncan - always a pleasure to be seen by him. Patient, an excellent listener and so calmly is able to provide the right advice. His knowledge and perspective of the trends in the medical world are invaluable as he is able to guide my overall care - that has enabled me to make massive improvements in my overall heart health.

Dr. Brett Duncan is truly one of the best doctors I've ever met. He listened to all my concerns without missing a single one through a Korean translator, communicated effectively, and answered my questions with great care. He provided clear explanations for why I was experiencing certain symptoms and developed a detailed plan for further examinations.

I have been with Dr Duncan for 22yrs and no better doctor you will find. I'm at the age when I see several doctors. I get more information from Dr Duncan during my exam than most others .
