5.0 star star star star starHe's been very respectful, efficient, and graceful with balancing my financial concerns and my health concerns. He has not misgendered me in my presence, and I would suspect he corrects his peers who might mistakenly do so. When he heard I had already struggled with the ongoing health issue for a year, he made sure to clear space in his busy schedule to get it taken care of immediately. I would be very comfortable recommending my friends and family to him and his team in the future.

5.0 star star star star starI would highly recommend Dr. Duyka. He was very patient, kind, and very professional. He took time to hear me and wanted to make sure that I understood all the information about my condition that he gave me And was really concerned that I got in contact with the follow up resources that I needed. I would highly recommend to anyone.

5.0 star star star star starThis is the first time in many months, perhaps years I am able to breathe through my nose. I followed his directions and medications and I feel very well. I have been able to decrease my asthma medication. Please thank him for me

5.0 star star star star starI don't know how he stayed calm given how every once of patience and empathy for the profession finally left my body after a year of pain on top of my constant pain from my New Daily Persistent Headache, but he made an effort and will see/treat me in 3-4 weeks I guess.

5.0 star star star star starThis was my first appointment with Dr. Duyka and I was very pleased. He was very compassionate and walked me through every step of the appointment and procedure. He explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions. He was very thorough with directions for continued care and I left feeling like I was on a good path toward feeling better. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

4.0 star star star star star_borderThe doctor is clearly very knowledgeable and an excellent physician. Some constructive feedback I would offer is that he could do a better job of listening to his patients. He often interrupts and talks over the patient as something is being explained. Or, thinks he knows what you are going to say and cuts you off, when that was not what you were going to say at all. This may not be his fault, though. It could be that Northwestern health system is not allowing this physician enough time to do his visits with patients properly and that he feels rushed, or behind, or under a lot of pressure to get through the string of patients as fast as he can to be more 'productive.' Giving this doctor more time to interact with a patient could allow him to slow down, take a breath, and actually listen to a patient and what they are saying. This would then allow him to deliver better medicine, improve patient experience, and also would likely reduce any potential mistakes made by not spending enough time to get to know what's truly going on with the patient. So, yes, I would suggest slowing down and stop interrupting and talking over patients, but then I would also say to the larger managerial decision maker in charge that this doctor (and perhaps others like him) need more time so they do not feel so under the gun to get the patient out the door. Denying that time is likely penny-wise but pound-foolish, as the saying goes. A more accurate diagnosis and a better patient experience will pay off in the long run and save on costs.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
