Dr. Duran was able to see me at short notice when I broke out in really bad hives/rash due to my RA. He got me set up with a RX that is helping me feel better in short order. I really appreciate the care that he has provided to me each time that I have been seen in his office. I always pass along his information to anyone who is in need of a good dermatologist.
