Bri was absolutely wonderful during my GYN appointment. She was so kind, warm, and genuinely caring, which made me feel very comfortable and at ease. She took the time to make sure I felt heard and cared for, and her friendly personality really made a difference. Dr. Duerkes was also wonderful. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely compassionate. I felt like he really listened to me, took the time to make me feel comfortable and make sure I understood everything.

Dr. Duerkes really took his time to give several different natural options to try for my problems rather than trying to shove a bunch of rx's down my throat.

Dr Duerkes is one of my favorite OB's. I genuinely feel so comfortable with him and his knowledge on all issues/parts of my care. My only wish is he still took OB call and could deliver my second baby!

Dr. Duerkes was incredibly kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional. He took the time to listen to me, answer my questions, and made me feel heard and comfortable throughout my visit. I never felt rushed, which I really appreciated. He is by far the best OB/GYN I have had in quite a long time. I would highly recommend Dr. Duerkes to anyone looking for a compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable physician.

I truly appreciate the respect for my time. The waiting room was not crowded. It was clean and I was called in as scheduled and the staff was very attentive to my needs. Coming from south Miami and transitioning to Lee health has been a great experience thus far.

The medical assistant was awesome and so was the doctor. That was the first male pro idea I have ever had for a Papsmear and he made me feel very comfortable and not awkward at all, which I was initially iffy about. He didnt make me wait long to be seen and he was through with the procedure very quickly which was great. Definitely recommend.

My doctor was amazing!! First visit with him! Very kind and understanding !!
Feb 2, 2026
Dr Duerkes was amazing - I had scheduled this bc I had such a bad experience with my prior gyn of Lee Health and Dr Duerkes validated what I was experiencing (and what the other dr had also confirmed but not shared with me) and prescribed meds I had been asking the previous provider for for months and repeatedly even after the FDA came out publicly and reversed it prior stance on hormone replacement therapy. Dr Duerkes' sat there and listened and got the whole history which is a lot bc I've been seeing a dr literally every week it seems to figure out all these issues I have been having.
