Dr Duncan is a seasoned professional beyond her years. Beyond being a great doctor clinically -- she goes above and beyond to think -- what else could this be? What else could we do? And even, let's ask the endocrinologist what they think. It's comforting to know she is very good at practicing medicine -- but also curious and kind and thoughtful. I am so grateful for her knowledge and care.
