Watch out for Dr. Yuan. She is a non-caring individual. I went to this practice and the word fits…read morepractice. I had all my medications moved to her office, The biggest mistake I could have made. She pushes Buprenorphine like it is candy. Then requires everyone to shell out of pocket for her so-called group therapy classes. She cut one of meds off that can't happen it would take 1-2 years of tapering. Her PA which was great had increased this medication. Shortly afterwards the PA was no longer with this terrible place. Dr. Yuan more than likely terminated her. But I was the one who suffered and now seeking legal advice. Dr. Yuan is arrogant and told me I had issues that her practice can't handle. She must be paying people to give her good reviews.

My husband was transported to Forsyth from Northern Hospital in Mount Airy. He spent a week at this…read morefacility. I was extremely pleased with his medical team. His Internist oversaw his case. She contacted me each day with a detailed update. She coordinated beautifully with both Cardiology and Oncology to ensure all disciplines coordinated efforts. The new cardiologist contacted me prior to performing a procedure to ensure I had clarity. By the end of the week I was able to navigate around the hospital without getting lost but there were always helpful staff members who went above and beyond to help guide me. Parking here is horrible. One more I drove around the parking deck for 20 minutes before finally parking in a no parking spot. Because I was on the 5th level I assume they don't monitor it closely. Fortunately I didn't get a ticket or towed. Parking on Saturday and Sunday was easy. Week days are tough. I paid $3 to $4 for parking each day. Someone said that you can purchase a pass which allows unlimited in and outs for the day. I didn't look into that option. Another plus is the food. I ate in the cafeteria. Many food options on the weekdays and limited options on weekends. I didn't get the best chicken Alfredo ever earlier in the week. My husband enjoyed his food as well. All in all, if you have to be hospitalized, Forsyth may be a good option.

I am an RN with 16 years of experience, including working in the ER, and this hospital holds a…read morepersonal significance for me because it is where I began my nursing career. Unfortunately, the level of care and attentiveness I have witnessed during two recent visits with my aunt has been extremely disappointing. During the first visit, my aunt needed assistance getting to the bathroom, so I pressed the call button. No one responded. I pressed it a second time and then a third time. Eventually, the clerk responded over the intercom and said someone would come. Her room was directly across from the nursing station, where I could see several staff members sitting and talking, yet no one came to assist her. I ultimately had to find a bedpan myself and assist my aunt. By the time the nurse finally came into the room, I was already cleaning my aunt up. The nurse then asked me to help pull my aunt up in the bed. As a family member, I was there to support my aunt--not to perform patient care or assist staff with repositioning a patient. What concerned me even more was seeing another patient later during that visit who was halfway out of the bed and appeared to be at risk of falling. I had to yell toward the nursing station to alert staff that the patient was about to fall. Unfortunately, my aunt returned to the ER today, and the same issue happened again. This time my mother was with her. My mother pressed the call button because my aunt needed assistance getting to the bathroom. No one came, and my aunt ultimately urinated on herself in the bed. During this visit, my aunt was also repeatedly pulling off her monitoring equipment. From what my mother observed, there did not appear to be an immediate response from staff to address the situation or ensure that she remained appropriately monitored. As an experienced ER nurse, I understand how busy and unpredictable emergency departments can be. I understand that staff can become overwhelmed and that not every call can be answered immediately. However, what I have witnessed goes beyond simply being a busy department. Repeated failures to respond when a patient needs assistance with basic needs, a patient being allowed to remain soiled after an unanswered call, and concerns regarding patient monitoring and fall safety are extremely troubling. It is particularly disappointing to see this in the ER where I started my nursing career. I remember a different level of attentiveness and accountability. I sincerely hope hospital leadership takes this feedback seriously and evaluates staffing, responsiveness to call lights, fall prevention, patient monitoring, and overall patient safety. Patients deserve to be treated with dignity, and families should not have to step into the role of the care team simply because no one responds to a call button.

My husband had a history of high BP and after it sky rocketed our family physician referred him to…read moreDr. McCabe. He added more medication twice and BP never came down. After getting a Heart Ultrasound and Renal Ultrasound which showed everything was okay, I guess. After only receiving the information through Mychart my husband had to call their office for further information telling his nurse that that BP still 180/110. All she said she will discuss with doctor and continue taking the medicine. Now, two months later and BP still high he can't get anyone to return his calls. I would NOT recommend this doctor!!!

My husband spent close to a month at Atrium after being flown in from Richmond County. I can't say…read moreenough great things about this hospital. Everyone was so attentive and (best of all) seemed happy to be there. When our local hospital could not help him and other hospitals were at capacity, this one accepted him and performed emergency surgery as soon as he exited the helicopter. I would 100% recommend Atrium Wake Forest.

I called ahead of time, and they confirmed that in my situation they would call an oral surgeon…read more Instead, they relabeled an exposed bone as "dental pain" to avoid EMPLA liability and discharged me without care. Now I'm dealing with possible heart failure because the infection from the exposed bone likely spread to my heart and has already caused an infarction -- exactly what I was actively trying to prevent. I did not know my bone was exposed. My medical condition -- the one I'm on disability for -- includes loss of feeling in certain areas. My last dental exam was good except for medically necessary orthodontic treatment I was working through administrative barriers to get. The affected area was not visible during normal dental care. I could not figure out why I had been sick for months off and on. When I investigated further, I found that a tooth had broken through the jawbone, leaving the bone and the root exposed. The infection was already systemic. I called Wakefield immediately and explained the situation. They told me they would call in an oral surgeon and address the infection promptly. So I made the hour‑and‑a‑half drive. I showed the triage nurse, who confirmed it was serious and checked me in. Then I was placed in a makeshift curtain room, and they decided they did not want to call the surgeon after all. To avoid EMPLA liability, the staff changed "systemic infection with exposed bone" to "dental pain." Keep in mind I do not have feeling in that area -- I told them that -- so this was not even a possible mistake. They brought me discharge papers without further evaluation, treatment, labs, or anything. They handed me discharge papers with the problem relabeled to mischaracterize my situation. When I tried to show them the discrepancy, I was reframed as hostile. I was discharged in a dangerous and untreated medical state. Now I've had a recent infarction (heart attack) because the exposed bone remained untreated longer and the infection was ignored longer. I finally received antibiotics and had the area cleaned and covered by another hospital, but the infection is now in my heart and my life is in danger while another hospital tries to sort this out.
