I like that because Now I have Dr. Duran. He took his time with me and we went over all my concern and health needs

5 out of 5 stars

Dr Duran is an exemplary physician. He is knowledgeable, thorough and very professional. This is my second appointment with him . I transitioned to him after Dr Sekerak from that practice retired. I am very pleased to have him for my primary care physician.

I trusted Dr. Christian Duran to arrange an IV saline infusion referral so I could stop paying out of pocket at my current infusion center. For seven weeks he repeatedly told me he could get me into a new clinic in CT with little or no copay — that he just needed to “wait for them to open” or “find their number.” During that time I continued to accrue debt at my existing center. When I pressed his office for an update, staff repeatedly told me he was looking for a contact person. Frustrated, I called the new center myself and was told Dr. Duran had not contacted them at all. When I confronted his office with that information, Dr. Duran then changed his explanation, saying he didn’t feel comfortable sending me there and wanted to consult my past PCP first; my you, he can see all of my past doctors notes and reasons for needing the infusion in Epic. (its a portal where doctors and their staff and see all of your past medical history) Seven weeks were lost based on promises that were never followed through. I needed a timely referral and felt misled and gaslighted by his staff’s responses. If you need a prompt, reliable referral for infusion services, I would look elsewhere.

(Translated by Google) One of the best doctors... In the last few years I've been looking for a doctor who speaks Spanish. Who would sit down and listen to my medical problems, who would study my cases and make recommendations... I thank God for Dr. Duran. It's been an incredibly magnificent experience. Such respect for the patient... He's intelligently studied my cases since 2017 and updated everything. He ordered new tests and changed my medications. And I feel honored. I feel super good...
