There are not enough accolades to give Dr. Duffy. He literally saved my life. Four and a half years ago I went to Dr. Duffy for a "routine" appt. on a Friday afternoon. I was his last patient of the day.He was very personable with a great sense of humor. I had more tests than I was accustomed to having and the time was getting late. He then came into the room with the saddest expression and I thought that perhaps he just heard some sad personal news. I asked if he was ok and what was wrong. He was really choked up. Finally he told me that I had a very rare type of eye cancer called "Choroidal Melanoma" and that it needed to be treated by an expert in NYC asap. Not only did he facilitate all of the scans and appts., but he called several times during my recuperation from radiation to see how I was doing. He is an amazing, off-the-charts physician who is a true credit to his profession. It is a real honor to have him as my physician.
