Summary

Tim Duke, MD, has served as a Family Medicine Physician since 2009, helping patients improve their health and assisting them in managing chronic health conditions. He has a special interest in caring for those with diabetes and cardiac disease and for those who need help in weight management and weight loss. Dr. Duke sees patients ages 4 and older at our Pablo Campus. What is your patient philosophy? I want my patients to know that I treat them like they were one of my relatives. I do not make recommendations for treatment if I would not make the same recommendation to my own family. I treat patients with respect and professionalism. Why did you decide to become a physician? I decided to become a physician later in life after being in another healthcare-related field. Being a part of patient care in a more all-encompassing manner was my primary reason for going to medical school and choosing Family Medicine. What do you enjoy most about working with patients? I enjoy seeing the …changes that come from a mutual treatment plan and how it can make a difference in the quality of life for my patients. What childhood memory do you have about visiting the doctor? As a 10th grader lying in the Emergency Room with my knee cap off to the side, it had not occurred to me that I would not be back on the football field any time soon. After putting the knee cap back in place, the doctor told me that I was done for the season, which immediately brought tears to my eyes. Even though he knew football is not the most important thing in the world, the doctor could see it was important to me, so he made me a promise: If I would do rehab and demonstrate a certain level of strength, he would consider clearing me by Homecoming. Looking back, that really taught me to understand where people are and their priorities -- always do the right thing in terms of medical decision-making, of course, but to understand your patient as well. What are some interesting facts about you? I am excited about being here at Lakeland Regional Health and in Central Florida in general. Growing up in Central Illinois with many Bears, Vikings and Packers fans pushed me to be a diehard Miami Dolphins fan. I have been a Dolphins fan for over 46 years. I moved to Pembroke Pines, Florida, to be a season ticket holder; however, that changed when I started medical school. What else would you like to share? I love to play golf … or hit the ball around … (not sure it could be considered golf). My family loves everything Disney, including going to the parks and cruising. My wife is also a Family Medicine Physician, and we have two great kids: a boy age 11 and a girl age 8.
