Dr.Dufendach made me feel like I was crazy , he didn't listen to a word I said to him because if he was listening he would not have dictated that I took double blood pressure meds that day he would have heard me say thay I had not takin my blood pressure meds in 4 days ! He would have also heard say that my blood pressure was to low I was scared dizzy lighted double vision blurry vision and my family dr advised me to come right away! Instead he seem more interested in trying to make up his on story! Then finally after getting all the results back decide tp go get a dr to Admit and keep me at least till Monday

Went into emergency room in middle of night with significant diverticulitis attack. Dr D. saw me quickly, had appropriate tests ordered and addressed the intense pain I was in quickly and effectively. Test results came back quickly and he communicated clearly his diagnosis and course of action. I was impressed with is bedside manner, calmness, speed of action and level of concern. Wished I could have kept him as primary doctor once transferred from Emergency Room and admitted to hospital.

Dr. Dufendach is my favorite doctor at gettysburg hospital, and he helped my mother, and my daughter. I felt that he really listened to me and knew what was going on. I would trust him with my life.
