The front staff is very helpful, friendly and works quickly to get the administrative work done properly to get you seen as soon as possible. The nursing staff was also great, especially Tamara who was both kind and funny. She helped make would might be an uncomfortable visit feel like a chat with a family member. This became the first of a few visits and they all felt the same and I was given the same attention. Dr. C was considerate, patient and listened to my needs very intently. I appreciate his candor and empathy and highly recommend his practice to anyone in need of GI care.

This is the first negative review I have ever posted about anyone, so it took a great deal for me…read moreto reach the point where I felt compelled to share my experience. My PCP and my Duke bariatric team both suspected I had SIBO and initially referred me to Duke Gastroenterology. However, because the wait to be seen was nearly a year, my Duke provider encouraged me to seek care outside of Duke and even offered to write a referral because they knew how overwhelmed their outpatient GI system was. After doing my research, I specifically chose Dr. C. because of his outstanding reputation and reviews. I wanted him to be my gastroenterologist and I felt fortunate to finally secure an appointment five weeks away. I even informed the Duke physicians during my hospitalization that I already had an appointment scheduled with Dr. C., and they told me that was great because I would need outpatient follow-up after discharge. Unfortunately, before my appointment, my condition worsened so severely that my physician instructed me to go to the emergency room, where I was hospitalized for six days and evaluated by Duke's inpatient GI team. While I was laying in the hospital bed, Dr. C.'s office called--not to check on me or ask how I was doing--but to cancel my appointment because I had been seen at Duke. I literally begged them to keep my appointment. I explained that I would desperately need outpatient follow-up after my hospitalization, that Duke's inpatient physicians do not become your outpatient gastroenterologists and that Duke itself had encouraged me to seek care outside of their system because of the year-long wait times and overwhelming backlog. I told them I knew Duke would not be able to get me a timely outpatient appointment and pleaded with them not to leave me without follow-up care. Despite my repeated pleas, they refused to keep my appointment and insisted that Duke was now responsible for my care. That assumption was completely wrong!!! After I was discharged, Duke confirmed exactly what I had tried to explain to Dr. C's office - they could not get me an outpatient GI appointment for months because their system is overwhelmed. Duke was doing the best they could with limited resources, but there simply were not enough outpatient appointments available. I was left without the continuity of care that every patient deserves after a six-day hospitalization and was forced to start over while still recovering. My insurance case manager was appalled when I explained what had happened. She specifically told me that what Dr. C.'s office had done was unacceptable, documented my complaint, told me it would be investigated, and personally helped me find another gastroenterologist who could see me much sooner. What hurt the most was that I genuinely wanted Dr. C. to be my doctor. I chose his practice because of its excellent reputation, yet the moment I sought emergency medical care because I was desperately ill, I felt like I was being punished for going to the hospital. Once the office learned I had been treated at Duke, it felt as though they wanted nothing more to do with me. That is not how patients should be treated. This review is not intended to attack Dr. C. personally or damage his reputation. It is simply my experience and I believe my voice deserves to be heard. Behind every appointment is a real person who is scared, sick, and depending on the healthcare system to help them. Healthcare systems may have policies and backlogs, but patients should always come first. In my case, I did not feel like they did and I hope sharing my story encourages this office to put compassion and continuity of care ahead of incorrect assumptions so that no one else has to experience what I did. Please keep in mind that Duke was the one that told me to seek care outside of the network. I sincerely hope this office reconsiders how it handles patients who require emergency hospitalization before their first appointment. No patient should be made to feel as though seeking emergency medical care disqualifies them from receiving the follow-up care they had already waited weeks or months to receive. Healthcare should put patients first.

I had been struggling with pancreatitis for nearly two years before coming to see Dr. Tumbapura at…read moreTriangle GI. I was a patient at Duke and UNC GI departments and neither one could not find out why I was getting these recurring episodes of pancreatitis. Duke put me on meds and four procedures. I was fed up and decided to try someone new. I wanted a smaller doctors office where the doctors and staff actually knew who I was and cared enough about me to treat me. I happen to find Triangle GI online and decided it wouldn't hurt to see someone there. After my initial visit with Dr. Tumbapura, he looked over past images and scheduled a new one to compare. On the second visit we went over together what the images showed - he actually looked over the images with me and showed me where and what he thought was the problem. Just this alone was more than any other doctor had done at Duke and UNC. I was touched to see someone actually cared enough to treat me as a human rather than a test patient. He schedule one more image of my gall bladder called a HIDA scan and found out his prediction was right and that the problem was my gallbladder the entire time. It had been a dead organ in my body for years. We schedule to have it removed through another doctor, and ever since, I have been able to eat normal again. I have been able to put weight back on and exercise again. I am so thankful for this place, as this review hopeful expresses. I would recommend them to anyone. Even if they never figured out the problem, the fact that they were personal made a huge difference.

I had received a text message that morning, stating I needed to pay $400. I called the main office in Raleigh and was advised by two employees that I did NOT need to pay that money and to go on in and get the procedure done. Now everyone knows what goes into getting a colonoscopy! No eating for 2 days. That godawful drink. But I DID IT! Imagine my surprise when I get there and those rude nurses (more like CNAs) acted like freaking gatekeepers and REFUSED me service because THEY couldn't reach anyone in Raleigh and I need to pay that money in order to be seen. They continuously stated "ever since this merger they don't tell us ANYTHING, so we're going to have to call someone before you can come back." We constantly asked if we could be billed and they refuse to even answer us. Needless to say, since they couldn't reach the Raleigh office this patient who'd gone through DAYS of hunger doing this prep that I wouldn'tbe seen because they couldn't reach anyone. When the doctor called me later on that afternoon and asked me, what happened? I'm sure they'd already lied to him. So to recap, I went through hell doing that prep. We both took off work. We had to drive to and from Wilson. And we were treated like crap the entire time.

He did not appear rushed. He recommended surgery to offset the likelihood of a greater problem later. Prior to my surgery Dr. Vig and the anaesthesiologist met with me again, and again all questions were answered in a relaxed, professional manner. The surgery went well. I experienced very little discomfort. Both times, when I called the office for information afterward, I was immediately allowed to talk with Dr. Vig's nurse; no waiting.
