Dr. April Duckworth is honestly a breath of spunky fresh air. Kind, personable, and medically a super star. Lays out all the information you need, actually answers the question you asked and then some, cares about your health as a whole on top of her speciality. These kind of appointments are anxiety ridden by nature but she gets you laughing, even if you were just crying. When my test results came in she personally texted me, that's unheard of these days. The ducks are an added bonus. Highly Recommend. The Manchester office is clean, quiet, inclusive, with some fun decor, and easy to navigate.

Dr. Duckworth was highly recommended by the staff at my OB/GYN office and the radiology staff at Windham Hospital. Our initial consultation was extremely thorough and she answered all of my questions with her explanation of my test results and recommended treatment plan. She displayed compassion and empathy, allowing ample time for a thorough explanation and questions. My messages with additional questions have been returned in a timely manner, with the same level of compassionate care.
