Dr. Dua and staff are second to none. Have know over 25 years and always thankful for his care.
I have been a patient at Froedtert since 2002 and I trust them totally. They are the best that I know.
I love the treatment I get from the Dr and his assistant who also is so upbeat and kind!
Excellent! I felt respected and listened to. The clear explanation of my issue was very reassuring. I now know what the possible cause of my issue is and that makes dealing with it much easier. Thank you Dr. Dua for your time and informative discussion. It is very reassuring for me working with you.
No, everything went well
Does not get better than this care
No convinced of the Dx but will follow recommendations of Dr Dua. He's a great doctor. And his staff and assistants are terrific.
Dr. Dua gave me a lot of new information that was not shared with me at the previous specialist I had went to. He is very knowledgeable and I'm very pleased that I was referred to him by the previous clinic in Indiana that I went to when we lived there.
