Reviews
She made me feel welcome and comfortable
I feel so much better now that Dr. DuShey has replaced my hip. Every step of the way, I was given time to decide, and given good information. I couldn't have hoped for a better team or outcome. Many thanks!
I was unhappy with my experience with Dr. Varna. The office itself was fine, Toni (receptionist) and Crystal (nurse) were very nice and helpful; Dr. Varna on the other hand was interruptive and did not make proper time for me to explain my issues. He made assumptions about my health based on my age and gender during our conversation, and I did not feel that I was able to properly explain myself to give him an accurate picture of the situation at hand. The conversation was continuously interrupted by Dr. Varna's questions, while i was mid-sentence, and I would get cut off before I finished my full thoughts. In the end, I was referred to see another kind of specialist, a month of yoga classes, and to come back in six weeks if my situation hasn't improved which, for $350, is an absolute disgrace. This conclusion would’ve sufficed if I felt he had a comprehensive idea of the issue, but I did not. I felt like this appointment was rushed and inconclusive, which I would never expect at such a high self-pay price. Being a young woman and having to work hard to advocate for yourself to doctors is already difficult as is, and Dr. Varna was unsuccessful in making me feel like my issues were heard and properly addressed. The ridiculous medical bill just adds insult to injury. I will not be returning to this center and I would not recommend it to my friends or relatives.

Excellent facility and staff.
The staff and the doctors are the best
Dr. Varma is one of the medical professionals who I trust the most. He answers my many questions and has made excellent recommendations!
One Word: SATISFY! The Receptionist is very Cordial and Pleasant to deal with. The Nurse is very accommodating. And of course, Dr. Cleeman is very understanding. I already recommended a couple of people, I hope they contact your office soon.
Easy to schedule appointment. Knowledgeable and caring presenting options, and treatments.
First time seeing Dr Dushey. I did have to wait a bit, but he was definitely worthy every minute. He explained everything while going over my X-ray, and answered my questions. Did not feel rushed. Very happy with Dr. Dushey
Amazing and fantastic doctor. His on the spot diagnoses and demeanor is a model of what a good doctor should be, and I would highly recommend!!
Thoughtful. Smart. Identified the issues quickly and explained in simple terms which was very helpful. Highly recommend Dr. Dushey
I had been suffering from cervical neck pain for over 20 years and felt that by going through all the self care steps I could potential heal myself. All the stretching, yoga, exercise and massage was just putting off the pain for the future. Once I started losing sensation in my hand I knew it was time for the next step. DR. Varma gave me the reassurance that this would be the right timing because apparently I’m still young enough to heal properly. Little did we know I had a bone spur this whole time. He was right. Fast forward to the procedure, he was very maticulous and a true professional. I am now 2 weeks out, slowly recovering and will without a doubt recommend him ti friends and family. WOOO!
Dr. Cleeman squeezed me in to a full schedule on Monday after learning that I broke my left clavicle over the weekend. The staff was attentive, kind, efficient, and welcoming. Moreover, they went out of their way to assist me before and after seeing the doctor, and there was very little wait time. Dr. Cleeman was friendly, thorough, professional, and attentive as he listened to my questions and concerns. He explained what he saw in my X-rays very clearly while drawing a visual representation of my fracture to further my understanding. He offered two options for treatment, which he also explained very clearly. I highly recommend Dr. Cleeman.
Dr. Dushay identified what needed to be done in a knowledgeable & kind manner. He welcomed questions & answered them clearly. I am happy that Dr. Dushay is my doctor & I would recommend Dr. Dushay without hesitation.
The staff is lovely and helpful . Dr. Cleeman is wonderful , clear , helpful . All great . WM
He was pleasant and was pretty thorough in his explanation.
extremely kind and very professional doctor
My experience with this practice was extremely positive. All of the staff members were very professional (Example: Tony and Crystal…) and exceeded my expectations. Dr. Edmond Cleeman, MD is extremely knowledgeable and was able to diagnose my injury with ease and took the time to help me fully understand. Along with, Dr. Edmond Cleeman was able to diagnose an injury that I’ve been dealing with for many years; that other doctors weren’t able to figure out. So, all that being said I highly recommend this practice group. Adele aka Ace
Waited to do surgery till i was ready. Surgery was successful and within 3 months fully recovered
I have been under Dr Dushey 's care for about 4 years, and could not be happier with the care I received. I had two hip replacements, multiple cortisone and gel injections and constant support and encouragement. I also greatly enjoyed the fact that I did not have to deal with the insurance pre-authorisations, appeals and disputes, because everything was expertly handled by the office staff. Such a great help! Dr. Dushey and his office are the best!
He is patient, polite, and is very knowledgeable in his field. He explains things so you can understand your problem & treatment. He’s a great doctor.
The stay was not too long. we looked at the X-Rays talked about the knee ect.
The staff was friendly, informative and instructive. Dr. Cleeman, was knowledgeable about my particular case, and proceeded to treat my knees accordingly. Thanks to everyone, my visit to his office was right on target. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Dr. Varma is an outstanding surgeon. But more than that, he took time to listen & understand issues that were specific to my life as a Personal Trainer & Group Exercise Instructor. He was concise, clear, & always realistic in his prognoses & follow-up advice. I very much appreciated the “zero bullshit factor”, & am grateful that the surgery performed has helped transform me back to the active individual I plan to be for years to come
