Dr. Duckworth is the best

5 out of 5 stars

My Care was provided by a medical doctor, who is absolutely amazing. She listens to me and I really feel she cares about me. She thoroughly examines me and we discuss a variety of medical questions. I have recommended her too many friends, and will continue to do so in the future.

Dr. Duckworth is beyond 5 point rating. I look forward to seeing her each and every time. Her confidence and sense of humor provides hope and comfort. I wish she can be my Dr. For everything. Hartford is lucky to have her and I'm beyond blessed and grateful to have her as my Dr. One of a kind and one of the best kind of Doctors around. Personable, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, experienced, confident, simply the best. Explains everything, gives you the time you need, sits down to talk to you not at you, treats you with respect, kindness, understanding and makes tough times and rough times brighter. I will never forget how amazing she is. I will always recommend her to everyone I know. The best of the best.

The doctor was like an Angel that felt from the sky. Besides giving explanations about the problem that my doctor had, she also talked about other healthy issues that my daughter had. It was like she knew about all the struggles that my daughter has. Her kind words touch our hearts and soul.
