16 Memorial Medical Milestones • Summer 2023 Duncan Karl Duncan, MD, and Kurt Duncan, MD, are identical twins. They are originally from Plaisance, Louisiana, and most recently practiced at Merit Health Wesley in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Along with the rich culture, food and warm weather, the appeal of having family close by and stability is what brought the brothers back to Louisiana. From an early age, both had an interest in studying medicine, but enjoyed their undergraduate studies in mathematics. Upon discovering more about the cardiology field during medical school, they felt their natural strengths were in line with this field and knew it was a good fit. The brothers agree that the most rewarding part of their practice is when a patient refers a family or friend to them. Knowing they helped someone enough that they want to share that experience with their loved ones means they made a major impact in someone’s life. They began medical school side by side, helping each other succeed, and today still practice side by side helping patients get healthy.
