What People Say About Dr. Christopher Ducko, MD
ReplyFlag Comment
The experience I had with Dr. Ducko was very disappointing. He may be a skilled doctor, however, his bedside manor is horrific. He talks down to his patients, talks over them, and shows zero respect. Additionally, he was extremely rude to the nursing department.
