Duck Craig S, MD

I debated a one star review, but elected against that because I reserve those for the bottom 5% of any category.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Duck as my primary care physician for about two years, but will be changing that going forward. As others have pointed out, Dr. Duck’s bedside manner is surprisingly poor. Aloof, arrogant, holier than thou, cold are but several of the negative adjectives I’d use to describe him.
Unfortunately, his care isn’t any better than his personality. I complained during each of my visits of a pain in my abdomen. Each time, he conducted a cursory «exam» by briefly feeling the area in question and each time dismissed it as nothing. I finally took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a specialist who diagnosed me with ulcers. He was shocked that Dr. Duck had so casually dismissed my discomfort, especially given how long it had persisted. Dr. Duck also has an annoying habit of lecturing and speaking down to patients (or, at least to me), almost like an elementary teacher reprimanding and preaching to a child.
I continued to go to Dr. Duck out of laziness and convenience. Well, my health deserves better care, and I’d prefer to entrust my body to someone who displays some warmth, empathy, a caring attitude and, most importantly, medical competence.

So my husband needs an annual exam to receive his FSA dollars from his work. He chose doctor duck as his primary. After his physical exam we received a bill? I called the office and asked why the charge when the insurance covered the physical 100%. They said well, your husband is over weight and that adds an additional diagnosis code! What?! Did they prescribe him something for this second diagnosis that is charged over and above the office visit? No. Then they charged him $ 25 to fill out the form for the FSA money. I asked the insurance how this could be and they said technically if my husband wasn’t «treated» for a secondary condition, it shouldn’t be billed. What a joke! We are switching! I don’t like being nickel & dimed.

I went to this Dr. Several years ago for three visits or so. His bedside manner and his diagnosis of my skin rash were TERRIBLE! Today, I read about a disciplinary action which has CURRENTLY placed him on probation due to a misdiagnosis and subsequent death of a 56 year old man. Thumbs down!

Pay no mind to the bad reviews. Dr. Duck and his staff are top notch. I have been going to Dr. Duck and the NP in your group for about 15 years. Not only is he my General Practitioner but also my Gyno. He is professional, diligent, thorough, personable and always generous with his time. He answers prescription requests and questions quickly and has great follow up to lab results. I would highly recommend his services to everyone.

Have read all of these reviews and had to add my two cents. I’ve been going to Dr. Duck for over a year and have never felt more comfortable with a doctor, and I’m 62 years old, I’ve seen my fair share of them. He has a great bedside manner, there is nothing that I can’t talk to him about — his office staff is remarkably attentive and efficient. I’ve never had to wait more than 10 – 15 minutes for my appointment. He’s a good guy — not sure who these other people have seen, but it wasn’t the Dr. Duck that I’ve been seeing.

Will not be returning to dr duck. Aside from very awkward bedside manner, misdiagnoses my son, apparently running a 103 temp for 4 days was «no big deal». We ended up going to urgent care day 5, he had pneumonia. which I then caught. Apparently running a 103 fever for over 4 days was «no big deal».

Probably the most unapproachable doctor i have ever met, and hope i will never have to encounter another such predicament. On my 2^nd visit, i couldn’t leave fast enough. Switched doctors and am much more confident when talking about my health concerns now.

I have been under the care of Dr Duck for several years. During a physical on my first visit he noticed abnormality in my ECG, advised something was wrong and that I should make an appointment with a cardiologist. He referred me to an excellent Cardiologist who after several tests advised I needed major heart surgery. After my surgery Dr Duck has monitored my progress and INR results, maintained my prescriptions and he and his staff have provided me with excellent care. I would highly recommend Dr Duck and his friendly staff to everyone. Nothing has ever been a struggle. I have always been able to get an appointment and have always been seen promptly.

Misdiagnosed, a struggle to get answers, no follow up on lab results, and mainly an an unwillingness to show that my health truly was his concern. Save yourself much time and stress and go to a primary care physician who’s not trying to rush you out of their office. If you have a cold, sure have him prescribe you some pills. Anything else and you’re better off anywhere else.

Dr. Duck has been my physician for more than 5 years. During that time I have had several medical issues that he has diagnosed and treated with very satisfactory results. I do not like hanging around a doctor’s office and Dr. Duck and is staff are quick to get me into the examination room and for routine issues, out of the Doctor’s office with quality efficiency.
