Dr. Dugal was not cordial, charged me as a new patient, which I wasn't, said he didn't take my insurance, but filed anyway, and was paid 45.00 on top of the 60 I paid him; then two months later, he sent me another bill for 100.00.

Went to this doctor when I became very ill at a conference. Being from out of town, I went to the closest clinic. Dr. Dugal misdiagnosed me. If not for the ER at the hospital, I would have been dead in 24 hours. Don't go any where near this place!

I saw 3 other doctors for my condition. I had a tumor in part of my lung. Dr Dugal diagnosed theproblem, obtained an MRI and Dr. Fritz at Gwinnett took the tumor out. Bottom Line he saved my life. Believe me he is the very best.

Dr. Dugal's a great doctor, good listener, straight-talker and really cares about his patients. Dr. Dugal volunteers as our high school wrestling team doctor. I can just show-up at the office and be seen by a doctor in a couple of minutes. The staff is friendly and helpful.
