Patient Testimonials
“It makes a world of difference when provider is focused on the patient, making eye contact and asking clarification of information seen in the chart. Dr. Duerden answered my questions, took time to listen to a short story and provided realistic expectations and time frames related to my injury. I left my appointment feeling okay instead of damaged goods.”
“Love Dr. Duerden, always professional, always gives me the straight information, is working with me to try to help alleviate my problem without surgery, and just an all-around great experience. Thank you.”
“I appreciate the doctor speaking in terms I can understand. Goes a long way with helping me understand the situation.”
“Dr. Duerden is a great doctor and skilled surgeon. He put my many fractures back together and I am happy to say I am completely healed. It has been a long year since my accidental break but I am well on my way to returning to the way I was.”
“I like the fact that Dr. Duerden takes his time with his patients. He has a great bedside manner and makes you feel comfortable and answers your questions and explains the issues and uses the X-rays to show you exactly what he is talking about. His explanations are very easy to understand which lends to your confidence in him. Thank you Dr. Duerden for all you do!”
