Would and have recommended him to others as well as the closer clinic. A friend would like to speak with him.

5 out of 5 stars

He is a beloved doctor and already stretched by a full caseload. I would hate to see new clients take priority over his existing long-term relationships. We know that trust, knowledge, understanding, and history with patients, are irreplaceable variables to health and wellness.

Other Reviews from Around the Web

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Machado has always been informative and taking time to listen and respond to my questions and concerns during scheduled office visits. He also participates and provides relevant medical research information to members participating in the bimonthly meetings of Connecticut's Essential Tremor Support Group. He is a sincere and concerned medical advocate on behalf of his patients.

5 out of 5 stars

I saw DR. Machaldo for a tremor in my hands that turns out to be essential tremor for which there is not cure,but there is treatment. The examination was by far more than I expected. From top to bottom all nerves and movement were evaluated. We discussed the treatment options and designed a plan of care. The best 1 1/2 hours I have spent with doctors in many many years. Absolutely a great experience.

We found Dr. Duarte Machado to be a thorough,personable, and reassuring. He graciously simplified a complex diagnosis making his specific decisions for his follow up plan very clear. We recommend Dr.Duarte Machado to those seeking an intelligent, compassionate, thorough neurologist to evaluate and treat their neurological symptoms.
