Dr Ducan have done a wondetful job with helping my kids get through a very difficult divorce I couldn't be more thankful. Her staff is also very thorough in letting you know what to expect as far as treatment and office procedures. The office is very kid friendly with bright colors and fish. The whole environment put my kids at ease, as well as me. I can not thank her enough for what she has done for my kids. K
