I came under the care of Dr. Cram for the simple reason that two Duke doctors were more focused on…read moregiving me steroid injections and Physical Therapy without really solving my L #4 and L #5 problems of crushed disc and heavy stenosis. I had been in severe pain for 10 years and finally found Dr. Cram through a referral through a podiatrist inn Eden, NC. I had much more confidence in a Moses Cone surgeon than UNC or Duke. We met in his friendly and efficient office 3 times, had a current MRI done and my cardiologist, GP and endocrinologist did some testing and gave me the green light for surgery. Dr. Cram had a final meeting with me, discussed the chances of a successful procedure (there was a 85% chance the surgery would be effective) and I figured the pain I was living with wasn't really any kind of life so I agreed and surgery was 6 weeks ago. He cleaned out my arthritis and installed titanium hardware to secure the plates in place. The area was then packed with a bone-growing organic mass and closed back up. I was also told to be very careful about bending and putting extra strain on the fusion. That was 7 weeks ago and I've been back once and he x-rayed my back and it was healing extremely well. I was told to try and get up to a hall-mile a day on a track and my muscle-tone would return to my legs wgixh had been basically unused for 2-3 years. I am no stranger to surgery and to say I wasn't apprehensive about going under again would be untrue. But, when I can sleep through the night, roll out of bed with no pain and look forward to exercising instead of loathing it, I'd say it was worth it. Dr. Cram's staff is fantastic: friendly, attentive and keeps the patient load moving. It's so nice to have my life back. Thank you. What a great Christmas present.

I recently became a patient of LeBauer Healthcare Grandover and I am very pleased with their…read moreservice and level of care. I saw Charlotte Nche, NP to establish a chart and she was very attentive, easy to talk to and I felt like she really cared about me and my concerns. The rest of the staff I interacted with were all very friendly and welcoming. LeBauer is apart of the Cone Health system so you are able to use their MyChart portal to update your information, to see any test results and to communicate with the office. This eliminated having to fill out that stack of paperwork you normally fill out at the doctors office which I greatly appreciated. Both my initial visit and return to have blood work done were very timely. For my initial visit I waited less than 5 minutes before being called back and the bloodwork took about 10 minutes total from my arrival to me walking out the door. Overall I am happy to be a patient at this location.

When I arrived, I was greeted by the friendly receptionist. My wait wasn't long at all. Matter of fact, I pulled out my phone in the waiting area to play a quick game. I couldn't finish a round before my name was called. That is amazing to me...I can raise my hand if asked if I've ever waited in what feels like a waiting room purgatory. The nurse quickly got me checked in. She explained the process thoroughly. She was very friendly. My visit was to see Charlotte Nche. She is so nice and considerate. She answered all of my questions. The lab team was also friendly. Everyone seemed pleasant. I would highly recommend going. This location is clean, modern and based on my first impression, I think they take care of their patients. I got really good vibes during my appointment. Oh...before I forget, I got my labs literally the next day with a follow up phone call. I just love it when I strike gold with any business!
