Dr Duckworth and staff are AWESOME!!! They care, are faithful, honest, and pleasant, and seem to enjoy working there, which is far different than many healthcare provider offices!!! They listen to their patients , and I sincerely believe that all of them love what they are doing! With so many healthcare practices/ providers who don’t give a shi7 with patients feeling like they’re only a part of the “cattle heard”, Dr. Duckworth and staff are FAR better. I will only go to them for their types of services. I love and trust them! -J.L., Glen Allen

I had not met Dr. Duckworth prior to the morning of my EGD and colonoscopy. Even though I had had previous testing, he explained it completely and let me know what he was looking for. The entire staff that day were very personable and Professional. From my first virtual appointment with Lauren Cox until my follow up visit in the office today, it has been a very good experience for me and for my health

Dr Duckworth has great caring bedside manner. The staff is also professional and friendly. Slight problem with the nurse that inserted my IV , once in each arm and still the CRNA has to do it again . Over all an easy visit and I highly recommend Dr Duckworth.

Reception area was accurate. Did a good job and getting everyone ready to go back. The nurses and staff in the procedure area were very polite and introduced themselves and their job. Dr. Duckworth was very friendly explained what he would do and what he was looking for and when I would get my results.
