Visit was due to an apparently leg injury. Dr. Duan was very thorough and explained her recommendations completely, offering options that would address the issue most quickly as well as a course that can be followed if the chosen option doesn’t get the results expected. I observed her teaching the medical student throughout the exam and was pleased to V e a part of that.
