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.

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.

To be honest I've never had a visit where I didn't get the information I needed, not once. I was provided information about my maternity leave and everything. I'm truly blessed with the best help as possible .

Everyone in the office from the front desk to the doctor was very clearly spoken. The facilities were very clean and very appreciated by me. I felt very safe comfortable. The doctor took enough time to talk to me and listen to my concerns and explain the procedures that he would be doing on my visit before he did them. Doctors assistant was in the room felt very comfortable with her very at ease and felt like he honestly did care about my health issues. Thank you very much Lee health.

The medical assistant who checked me in was wonderful, had such a kind, caring, calm energy and was very attentive. After being in the waiting room for quite a while before my appointment and overhearing that there were multiple delays in patients ahead of me, I was so pleasantly surprised to have Dr. Duerkes come into the room, unrushed, take the time to connect with me as a patient and human, and provide a thorough evaluation and next steps. Ahead of time, he was very proactive in ordering the [ ] needed so we could discuss the [ ] in person. Highly recommend him and the team there - thank you for all you do for your patients every day.

Dr Duerkes was wonderful. Right away his introduction into the room was one of caring, like he truly wants to be there. He was present the entire time, never looking on a computer screen and staring at it while speaking with me. He never seemed rushed and answered every question of mine with care. When he came in he always knew of my recent health care events, which tells me that he even took time to glance at my chart prior to coming in, which quite frankly I think is nice. Even though I’m sure he had so much left to do, he took the time to remove my nexplanon as requested, without trying to tell me no or convince me otherwise, as another Lee gyn has done in the past. He even provided great [ ] option, and sent the [ ] instantly. [], my arm today looks great and feels well. His doctor manner was so wonderful and I hope he remains with the practice so that I can continue to have him as my doctor going forward.
