Derek Dake's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Duke He is an excellent neurosurgeon. He operated on my spine in January 2019 and it turned out very well. I highly recommend him for his excellent work.

The very best. I’m yet another patient that his knowledge and capable skills literally saved my life. I’m so thankful to have had such a skilled surgeon. Thank you Dr Duke and staff.

Dr Duke is the best at what he does. Literally saved my life. Excellent surgeon and really knows his stuff. Thank you Dr. Duke and your staff for taking such good care.

Did a great surgery on me 2 years ago, but have new problems and don't what anyone else to touch me...But have been extremely hard to schedule with...6 weeks of pain waiting for him and just got pushed back another month

He is the best at what he does. So very easy to talk to, and he listens well to your concerns. When I came from under my anesthesia, I was completely pain free. Bless you Dr Duke

Misdiagnosis and overall incompetence seem to prevail in this practice.

This doctor humiliated me and made me feel like a lowlife. Told me my pain I have been experiencing for last three years was all in my head and told me that I was depressed and stressed out. "I need mental health and my MRIs are fake. Cognitive Mental Health!!" I was a very active adult prior to the onset of DDD accompanied by several other diagnosis'. Dr. Duke only spent two minutes with me before telling me all about my life. Never touched me. He also told me to stop seeking medical relief but upon me leaving referred me to two new doctors. I left his office actually thinking it was in my head. Only to realize he was completely wrong! Dont waste your time.

Outstanding doctor. I could write a 3 page review of my treatment, and I still couldn’t tell you how wonderful he and his staff are. If you need back surgery, he should be you only choice.

I unfortunately went to this horrible (not a doctor) joke of a man! His surgery was a joke and within 4 weeks it was right back to where I was before surgery. If you care about yourself or a loved one STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS ONE. He lies and he will just make it worse! He also was in such a rush to leave after my operation they woke me up in the OR and I was in the worst pain in my life and had to spend 4 days in the hospital due to pain. I had a second surgery with a great doctor Dr Kaplin who told me “you were the worst clean up of a back surgery I had in 30+ years. So what’s that tell you! Stay away from this useless non doctor. He will only hurt you and you will need another clean up of his mess someday. He gets an F in every raiting! If you care about yourself or a loved one SYAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!

"Dr." Duke told me that all of my pain was due to having depression and that I needed cognitive behavioral therapy. He scrolled through my MRIs at light speed and even though I have multiple issues documented on my results he just assumed because I have depression that must be why my back hurts. He treated me like I was crazy. I would never recommend him.
