So let's just be honest here, I hate going to the doctor. It's nothing personal against doctors,…read morethey're great people! I just hate the prospect of being probed, prodded, and stabbed with needles. However I work in the healthcare field and I have seen a lot of things that could have been avoided if people just would have gone to the doctor, so as a result I am a firm believer in yearly check ups. I am also a huge advocate for finding a doctor that you like and trust. Unfortunately due to changes in the healthcare system, doctors rarely have time to spend with their patients. There's always a demand for them to move quickly in between their patients to get to the next one. My husband started going to Dr Grace Tang several years ago and he is her number one fan.....if doctors can have fans..... . She recently moved to this practice and he spent months researching trying to figure out where she had gone. I was also in the search for a good primary care doctor, and when I saw how adamant my husband was about finding dr. Tang so he can continue going to her, I knew she had to be a fantastic dr. (My husband is super picky.) So I made an appointment for my yearly physical. Let's start with the front office staff, on the phone when setting up my appointment they were very professional, and answered all of my questions regarding insurance, billing, and my goals. Upon arrival they were just as professional, kind, and greeted me with a smile as I came in. Unlike most practices, I only had to fill out a couple pieces of paper. Dr. Tang's nurse was also very nice, and professional. She took my height, weight and blood pressure, reviewed a few questions with me, but left the majority of my history for the doctor to do, which is very unusual. Usually the nurse obtains all that information and if the doctor wants to know they have to read it. But that is one of the things that I really appreciated about this experience, the doctor sat & listened to my health history, and wrote her own notes. And then there was the infamous Dr Tang! She was gracious, classy, thoughtful, and actually cared about what I was saying. She sat down and took the time to listen and ask questions. So very unusual from the typical revolving door experience i'm use to. And last but not least came the most dreaded experience for me, lab work! Before we go any further you should be aware I'm a huge needle phobe. I hate needles with a passion.... needles bring about massive amounts of anxiety for me....truly it makes no sense, but that's how it is. Dr. Tang suggested that I stay in the examining room and lay down for the blood draw instead of going to the lab draw room. For me this was an excellent idea! And then in came Brittany. I'm not sure if Brittany was a phlebotomist or nurse who does lab work ( as a result, henceforth she shall be referred to as the blood sucker!) but either way she was amazing! She kept me calm and relaxed with her down home compassionate and sincere demeanor, and she's really good at what she does. I barely felt the needle go in and she worked quickly despite all of the blood that I needed drawn! When it was all said and done I told her she could draw my blood any day. BEST BLOOD SUCKER EVER! !!!!!!!! And believe you me people that's not something I ever say! From start to finish I had an excellent experience at this practice. I highly recommend it to anybody who's looking for a doctor (and staff) who want to take time with their patients and get to know them, and treats them like human beings, not like a herd of cattle they have to get from one location to the next as quickly as possible. Oh! I forgot to mention their patient web portal. I realize more places are turning to this, but I still have not seen it as often as I thought I would. However! They have a simple to navigate web portal where you can email the doctor with questions, see your lab results, and see the suggestions the doctor gives you regarding your lab results. And they do lab results fast! My husband had his results by the next day, with recommendations from the doctor attached.... I totally find this impressive

Once she called me on her way home from her car and she sat in her garage for 5 minutes until we finished!. Okay, people, when is the last time you had a doctor call you at home?????? WHEN???

Unfortunately, the billing department provides poor service. I have twice been charged during a well visit for services that have been previously mentioned in other appointments. When I spoke to the billing department they said that I could not discuss anything that was a new illness during a well check up. I told them that I did not do this and they said that I must have brought up things other than what was allowed during my well checkup. I called Blue Cross and they told me that the office was improperly coding the visit and this should not have occurred. I will not be going to Village Family Care anymore or any Novant affiliated office.

I stated my name and it took her a split second to hand me the paperwork signed by my awesome doctor. Both of these employees were discouteous, and unprofessional.

After that, a coordinator will contact you to schedule. They do not offer an electronic version of the documents that are required. Requiring patients to make two physical visits to the clinic during standard business hours before being able to schedule an appointment is an unreasonable hoop to jump through for access to care. I can't comment on the quality of care that may or may not be provided by the team at this office once you are an established patient. My rating is based solely on the practice having a policy that limits patient access to healthcare.

I'm not pleased with this medical office. I started coming here when my doctor and others left…read moretheir practice and started working here. Then some of them left here and started a new practice. I likely should have left then. The doctor I had been seeing canceled my appointments three times in 2024. In January then July and again in September. I'm not sure if they have too many patients but it is very hard to get an appointment that isn't months out. The provider I had been seeing liked to run tests even if these same tests were just done by another provider and she had a copy of the tests. I had enough of that and some of the tests were just unnecessary but could be billed. Prescribing unneeded medicine was something else I noticed here too. I've already tried another provider in the office but she was not good with listening to my concerns either and not very thorough. I will try another before moving to another office.

OMG...have you ever been to a provider who didn't listen to you yet wanted to schedule you for a…read morebunch of mess you didn't come there for?? Whelp, that was my experience today. I went in as a new patient to this location because it's close to where I live. The provider I researched & wanted to see wasn't taking new patients. Ugh!! So, they put me with nurse practitioner, Kristine. HORRIBLE MISTAKE!! Though she was somewhat personable, she DOES NOT listen. I found myself repeating things over and over & she STILL acted like she didn't hear me. I am a bariatric patient, so there are vitamins that I MUST take for life. She didn't seem to get that. She even told me that she asked a dr there (I don't know who) & they told her that I didn't need B12 injections. I may not NEED them, but that's what I prefer and have been doing for years. Just say your office doesn't prefer to do them. Don't tell me that research said I don't need it because I have "lapband" when I DO NOT HAVE LAPBAND. AGAIN, she didn't listen nor did she pay attention to my records. Where tf did she get lapband from?? Each bariatric procedure has different vitamin needs. So, maybe lapband patients don't need B12, but I DO. Anyway, the HIGHLIGHT of my 2-hour visit (because Kristine was SLOW AF) was the lab tech Ms. Becky & the checkout lady. That's a doggone shame that having tubes and tubes of blood taken was the BEST part of this visit. Smh. Just know that I will NEVER go back to see Kristine. I will drive to my regular provider 40 mins away before I ever go back to see her. And I made sure to tell the checkout lady to take her name OFF my record as a provider I'd want to see for future appts. I was given another person's name there, so if I get desperate enough to go there again, I will try that provider instead. The parking is horrible too. Just park in the back if you want to avoid the traffic nightmare. People just can't drive. This 3-stars is for the lab tech & checkout lady only. If I had to rate based on Kristine, you know what I'd give this place.

We found Avance Primary Care while searching online. Their staff and care reviews were excellent and appt days and times seemed very easily accessible so we called. That very first phone conversation with the receptionist (unfortunately I didn't write down her name :/ it may have been Victoria??) was extremely warm and patient and helpful as I explained mom's needs. She listened carefully and asked thoughtful questions and recommended Dr. Lam. (Mom had definitely not been exactly keen on this whole new doctor plan and had been dragging her feet for a very long time.) Upon entering the office we were immediately greeted cheerfully and warmly by Anthony and Shirley at the front desk. They definitely put mom at ease throughout the check in process with their easy lighthearted banter and professionalism. Anthony directed us to a private computer cubby and very patiently explained how to fill out all the new patient forms electronically. Medical Assistant, Cierra, brought us back to the exam room and completed the initial assessment and vitals with just as easy and welcoming and professional manner. She was also very caring and thoughtful and concerned as I expressed some thoughts about mom with her privately. Dr. Lam came in and from the moment she stepped into the room she worked some magic and absolutely engaged mom from the get go! She was smart, insightful, caring, respectful, and gently got right to the heart of mom's needs while addressing and calming her fears and concerns. We made follow up appts with Dr. Lam and two of their other on site health care practitioners to additionally address mom's varied needs. She also set up referrals to two other outside practitioners in the area for more specialized health care needs. We feel we definitely made the right choice! Mom expressed that she would feel very comfortable going to see them on her own for any care she may need!! Thank you to the whole staff for a wonderful first experience! I'm sure mom will talk about this positively with her friends at The Gardens and I would without hesitation recommend this practice! Elaine Elbeery (for Barbara Poole) Winterville NC
