Dr. Duffy does not know how to listen. He made the problem my child had worse by not listening to me. He is not our regular doctor and I dont know how anyone would take their kid to him more than once. He was rushed. He didn't like that I was a concerned parent and had questions. Reading theothers reviews on here you either love him or hate him. We hate him.
Daughter had a ear infection for about 4 weeks with an off/on temperature. (It was similar symptoms to other ear infections she had in the past.) The doctor said to go home and wait it out. We went home and came back a few days later as instructed. The second visit he was going to send us home again and finally decided to run a variety of unnecessary tests. In the end, it was as I suggested - the same problem she had before (a regular ear infection). In short Dr. Duffy doesn't know how to listen to patients or problems. He didn't like my concerned parent questions and actually sent me a letter in the mail saying that I was not allowed to come to his office? (Never have heard of that before?) My family and neighbors now all call him - Dr. Huffy Puffy. Expect a very poor experience.
Dr. Duffy is my son's pediatrician and we love him! He is so down to earth and answers all of my questions thoroughly. He is always on time and great with my son! My son doesn't normally like doctors/nurses but he will sit on Dr. Duffy's lap the entire time! He takes his time with us and makes us feel like we are his only appointment of the day. He is very straightforward, so knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone!
I took my daughter to Dr. Duffy for 1 1/2 years and was very disappointed with him. He was always very rushed, never did an exam or asked development questions during her well checks. Once I brought her in with a horrible rash all over her bum and told him everything thing I had tried to heal the rash during the past two weeks. I was out of ideas and needed his help. He responded "You're just going to have to figure it out quickly, because if you don't find a solution, she'll start getting UTI's because the rash is so bad." Then he left the room with no direction. He also told me never to let my child drink any liquid between meals- ever. After we left his practice Primary Children's Urology department was very upset to learn he was advising an 1 year old to NEVER drink water between meals. It caused her to really struggle with constipation. Over all Duffy was very unhelpful, rude and had poor advice.
LOVE Dr. Duffy! Wouldn't have any other pediatrician in the world! Thanks for all you have done for our family!! Your the best!
Dr. Duffy is an excellent doctor. He is always willing and able to answer our questions and takes time to ensure we are at ease. He is quite personable and is always friendly (and remembers our daughters name) when we run into him outside of the office. I would recommend himt o anyone.
Dr Duffy was very disappointing. Yes, I was stressed the second time I went into see him because my daughter had between a 102 and 105 temperature for 4-5 days. Dr Duffy didn't have a solution and kept telling us to go home and take some benadryl. I was shocked at how unprofessional he was. He truly doesn't care and know his patients very well. I even mentioned to the Dr that I know about 5-6 mothers (or about 20 kids) that use you. I said gosh... you have been so unprofessional and rude I'm going to have to tell them about my experience. He really said... he doesn't care and doesn't need the business. I understand that their are personality differences in life but Dr Duffy was really sad. We ended up going to another doctor (Dr. Welch) who was shocked at the diagnosis of our daughter and provided something that helped the situation. I guess you either love or dislike Dr. Duffy. He really isn't the best doctor and he can't answer your tough medical questions.
Dr.Timothy Duffy is simply the BEST All 9 of my grandkids go to him and all LOVE him .They get excited to go and ask when they get to see Dr. Duffy again even if the know they are getting shots ;they still can't wait to see him! We used to go to Dr.Vern Goller who at the time was the best until he died suddenly ;>( .Dr. Duffy worked with him and in my families oppinion he is a younger version of Dr Goller and that is a big Plus in our book! He is very good and interactive with the kids and listens to what you have to say. That staff is wonderful .Jen is a Gem! My granddaughter Adilynne and her are buds!I recommend Dr. Duffy to EVERYONE!!!
Dr. Duffy is amazing he is so personable, he has givn my childrens samples of medication we could not afford time and time again, His staph knows me by name and they are just wonderful I would recomend him in a heartbeat!!!
I love Dr Duffy and his office! We recently moved and got high recommendations of him from a ped specialist. We went to him and never regretted it! He is so personable and very detailed. He's given lots of great advice that worked. My first appt with him I was blown away. He went through the basics and then said "What can I do for you? Do you have any questions for me?" It actually caught me off guard and I had to think. This gave me the opportunity to ask questions that I maybe wouldn't have asked. Ones that I thought might be stupid ones. He listened to every question and knew just what to do. I hope we never have to switch again!! I tell everyone how great he and his nurse Jen are.
