Considerate of my time and very easy to talk to.

This is one of the friendliest and most efficient medical offices I have ever been in. Christie White and the staff are the best. Thanks to all of you for your kindness. I highly recommend them.

Dr Duckett is awesome! He listens to your concerns and is very patient. He will perform my knee surgery tomorrow for a torn meniscus. I'm sure he will do a great job! Check out Dr Duckett! I am a patient at the Duluth office. I know that I made a great choice!

I’ve been using Dr Duckett for a few years he’s an amazing doctor, I was really fortunate to find him when I moved from Florida 8 years ago I would not trust any other physician to take of me

Dr. Duckett is a patient and attentive doctor who is not only a skilled surgeon but a really easy guy to talk to.

Was referred to Dr Duckett by and ER Doc for a torn rotator cuff. Could not be more pleased how he and his staff handled the process. Evaluation, X-rays the surgery he shined in every situation. Now 5mos later I was he released me from his care. Thanks Dr Duckett

Dr. Duckett is # 1. He and his staff are the BEST In America and in Cumming, Ga. He went over and over and over what he was going to do him and his staff. I am speaking ONLY 4 weeks after my surgery to my left hip. I only used a walker 3 weeks and a cane 2 weeks. I am blown away with what Dr, Duckett has done. I had great rehabilitation and am back on a bike as I was hoping, back in the swimming pool. I would recommend Dr. Duckett to any one. I am retired Army E-7 SFC after after 22 years in the Army and 22 years in the Federal Government 44 years serving the military - with this said, I highly salute Dr. Duckett thank you all for my hip replacement. I would give them a TEN STAR.

Dr. Duckett was very informative and personable. I was well informed with my surgery, treatment and recovery throughout the process. My shoulder is back to normal and I am playing golf and tennis once again pain free. Thank you for a very positive experience.

Dr Duckett is kind, knowledgeable and caring. I will be having a TKR soon and I appreciate how he gently answers all of my questions . His awesome skills truly inspire confidence and I admire how he puts my mind at ease with each office visit . In addition, his nurses and surgery scheduler Jennifer are thorough and take extra time explaining each procedure . I highly recommend the Academy Ortho Group on Carter Rd .

I was referred to Dr. Duckett to perform a specific surgery he specializes in. Laparoscopic repair of a hip tear and iliopsoas lengthening. I greatly appreciated Dr. Duckett's decision to perform this surgery on me at 70 year(!) while the usual age limit for such a procedure is age 50 -- I think mainly because of absence of arthritis in the area -- I was NOT a hip replacement candidate. The process was outpatient with minimal discomfort and down time. I was mobile and pain free within a week. Regular PT exercises helped to regain muscle strength and 3 months later I am fully active and enjoying a new level of mobility and wellness. Dr. Duckett explained the procedure and recovery process in detail, showed me pictures of the laparoscopic surgery areas afterwards and followed up personally and on the phone on my healing progress. I have been a patient of Academy Orthopedics for many years at both offices and have had very good results with all my sport insuries. GREAT staff!

Love Dr Duckett, had a total knee replacement done the 1st of the year. For the first time in over 5 years I’m able to ride my bike, and am pain free for the first time in over 20 years. Thank you Dr Duckett

Today was the first time I met Dr. Duckett. He was very friendly, polite and made me feel right at easeand all his office staff did the same. I will definitely continue to see him for my hip or any other orthopedic problems.

I went to Dr. Duckett in Oct. 2018 for extreme knee pain. My MRI showed I had a medial meniscus tear and the radiologist suggested the possibility of an additional tear; however, due to a screw in my knee, he could not see it for sure. My first appointment with Dr. Duckett he kept stating my pain was not indicative of a medial meniscus tear. But he wanted me to go through 2 weeks of physical therapy. I was still barely able to put weight on my knee after the 2 weeks of therapy. On my return visit in Nov. 2018 to Dr. Duckett, he had an attitude. He acted as if I was making up my injury. He even told me to see one of his colleagues if I wanted a 2nd opinion. Nope, I went to another surgeon for a 2nd opinion and he immediately told me I needed surgery. After my knee surgery on Dec. 7th 2018, I was told ( and shown pics of) both my medial and lateral meniscus tears. I am 90% better now. NO THANKS TO DR. JAMES DUCKETT!!! Patient Beware! Don't let the 5 stars fool you, like it did me!!!

Fantastic doctor and surgeon. Really listened to my concerns and answered all my questions.

Dr Duckett was simply amazing right from the first day we met him, we had a great experience during consultation, pre-surgery and post-surgery interactions. My 15 year old son was injured, his collar bone was split, he recovered quickly and got back on his wrestling mat.
