A very pleasant experience meeting Dr Duckworth, I was well informed about the procedure I had done at his office and his staff kept me well informed. I had hemorrhoids banned and know a lot more now after meeting with them. Finally getting relief after years of discomfort. I would definitely recommend the procedure and Dr. Duckworth and staff.
