I've been going to Dr. Brawley for several years and I'm now searching for a new PCP. She has a…read moregreat lab person and a great person up-front. She used to be great, but perhaps she has gotten busy and lost her quality of care. It takes months and months to get an appointment and you cannot schedule with another doctor in the practice if you are in a jam. I went in on June 19 and today, July 5, I'm still chasing down numerous prescription REFILLS. In fact, none are at the pharmacy and someone that just looked at my chart, only sees 1. I was told to arrive 20 minutes early and then waited almost 55 minutes for the doctor. No problem. Honestly. Here's the problem. When I didn't have my prescriptions 10 days later, I was told by her nurse, "I don't need to know what you and Dr. Brawley talked about; I need to know what you need." That is a quote. When I told her she was being rude, she told me, she wasn't rude. She was busy because she had a patient to see. This did not sit well with me in light of the time I patiently waited. It's Friday, at almost 2 and I'm sure I'll go another weekend without my prescriptions. Do yourself a favor and skip this practice. It's a shame because Miss Amy that draws blood drives from NC and she's amazing! The girl that sits on the right (can't remember her name) is fabulous if you can get lucky enough to get her on the phone. She pulls the voicemail, so I'm almost thankful when I do leave a message.

Not only are those not the only health issues to be concerned about, it was NOT what I asked her about. She said she would send me articles proving her point.. which she never did. As a doctor she didn't listen well and she made me feel unsafe in her care.

This review is 100% for Dr. Lap's "nurse." I called the practice back in November to make an…read moreappointment after lots of research and also seeing that this Doc took my insurance (looking because my beloved PCP of 25 years was retiring). I was told that for this Doc (unlike others in the practice that you can just schedule with) you needed to speak to her "nurse" first to discuss your concerns. Um. OK. Left my number for the "gatekeeper" to call me back. Three days later (after receiving no call), I called to check in. I was told that the nurse/gatekeeper was gone for the day. But was also told she called me according to the notes? Um. No. I have no missed calls on my phone, and seriously if she really had called, why didn't she leave a voicemail? No missed call. No voicemail. A week later I called back (stupid me, but I was really impressed with this docs reviews and credentials), explained that I have never gotten a call from the "gatekeeper" and the awesome receptionist (I forget her name - she works for the whole practice and is so sweet and amazing!) got her on the phone with me. And here we go. Said gatekeeper picked up the phone and immediately went in with - "I called you!" I explained that I had no missed calls (keep in mind I was not being nasty - my whole career is in CS so I know better) and no missed messages. She then literally said, "so what is your problem?" Um OK. I explained that I was looking for a new PCP since mine had retired. I also wanted to explore HRT because I was never sure about it, but wanted to talk to a new doc that might understand. What did I this Bish say to me??? Well, it's normal, you just have to deal with it. Oh, and she was supposed to talk to the Doc about scheduling me. She was going to call me back. That was the end of Nov. 2025. Here we are 1/6/26. Still no call. This might be the most amazing doctor in the US. But we will never know thanks to her condescending, not following up "nurse/gatekeeper."

It took over a week for them to send a referral (after I'd called FOUR times). Now the dr they've referred me to needs two weeks to "review" my file before they can even schedule me.

I'm currently looking for a new doctor, not because I dislike the doctor I have, but because of how poorly every other aspect of the practice is handled. I would NEVER recommend EVMS to anyone. Ever.
