Dr. Brian J. Duffy
Overview
I’m pretty even-keeled. Because I wanted a profession I could have a lifelong passion for, and felt drawn since childhood toward medicine, I chose pediatric surgery. It’s fulfilling on a daily basis – not just the actual surgery, but also the opportunities to communicate with patients and families and establish bonds with them. For me, pediatric surgery is the most rewarding of all fields – for many reasons. Children are innocent, resilient, and fun to take care of. The kids I see are afflicted by an accident or bad luck, and it’s great to have a positive impact on them and their families. I feel strongly about spending time with parents – after all, they’re entrusting their child’s care to me and my team. It’s a privilege and a responsibility to establish a bond with them. I take this aspect of my work very seriously. I’m also passionate about doing the right thing, being a good family person, raising my kids to be wholesome children who grow up to be good, happy people. Recently I tied with another physician for the highest patient satisfaction score at Nemours. It’s not the kind of award you actively try to win – I didn’t even know I was competing at all – but it’s something I take pride in. It was a welcome surprise, and it’s satisfying to think I’ve made a positive impact on children and their families.
