She again wrote the prescription incorrectly refusing to follow the VA pharmacist instructions and manufacturers guidelines. Next, following msgs back and forth, she said that she "would cancel my prescription", which she did. I asked to be put in contact with her supervising physician, Dr Burns. After several days I was contacted by Dr Burns, who did nothing to resolve the problem. I also left messages with Dr Aloi, the department head several times. He did not contact me. Final results was to be referred back to the VA who cannot see me until 11 July, leaving me without medication for over two months. I have been a patient at Wake Forest since 2015, having 3 knee replacements, hip plates installed, plates for broken tibia and fibula, L shoulder replacement and R shoulder surgery as well as four other surgeries. Al of those Doctors were absolutely the best! Perfect service. I have and do recommend Wake as the finest organization I have experienced in my 75 years! The endocrinology department, however, has demonstrated defiance, unprofessional behavior bordering on malpractice without remorse and proven unwilling to assist with the smallest request of help. Therefore, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend them at all today. Years ago I saw a Dr Makala at Wake endocrinology... She was fantastic, however she left. Sincerely, J Samuel Grimes, Jr, MD

I was going for my shots during my lunch time at work and it was working out perfectly. The nurse complained and they scheduled me at later in the afternoon so she could change her lunch time. I was also called on my new scheduled day asking if I could come in earlier. If you work a Monday-Friday job I say beware!! They want to inconvenience you as much as possible. I can't stand people not understanding that you have a job as well, and they want you there when it fits them. Not a good way of putting a patient "first"

Run away from this man!!! I had surgery with him in 2010 that was supposed to be laproscopic. When…read moreI woke up, I had been opened up. I was told that the myoma was too large too remove laproscopically. These were all LIES. A year later I began having horrible pain. I contacted him and he swore it could not be his surgery. I requested appointments and he kept cancelling them and pushing them out. He was intentionally pushing it to pass the 2 year statue of limitations. Later on I discovered he had punctured my intestines during the laparoscopy and was the true reason for the change in plan and my pain. he is DECEITFUL and will put patients´ well being at risk to save his own skin.

This led me to set up a consultation with Dr. Yalcinkaya at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston Salem, NC. I was very impressed with his expertise but more importantly, the time energy and caring he offers his patients. I switched clinics to do my third IVF with Dr. Yalcinkaya and we were successful! :) It was a great experience with a knowledgeable doctor, can caring nurses / support staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Yalcinkaya and Wake Forest Baptist Health for fertility treatments. Dr. Yalcinkaya is an excellent reproductive endocrinologist.

They have helped me understand what is going on and we are working together to get my health on the right track. What they do is working and I can see it. I do believe there are ways to increase your health besides pharmaceuticals that mask the problem. I have learned what vitamins and minerals I am deficient in and now I take them and use food as well. This was the first group of doctors that would even talk with me about checking those. Believe me I had asks my primary doctor several times and I am now 55 and just getting answers. The only thing they checked was my vitamin D levels, which were off. RIH dug deeper, found other deficiencies and also found I had a mutation that did not allow me to absorb the vitamins properly. Who else would have helped me to discover this? Thank you RIH! I am so happy I found this group of doctors willing to get to the root of the issue and not just give me a pill to mask it!! It is well worth the drive (it takes me an hour) and cost. I can not recommend this practice enough!

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!
