The staff is friendly when you check in and there is a comfortable waiting area. All the therapists I've worked with have been great and had the patience to get me back to where I want to be. I've been treated for many ailments here and now am back for hand therapy.

This practice is very nice and inviting. All the staff are courteous and compassionate. Dr. Tuttle…read moreis an AMAZING hand surgeon who shows compassion and support for his patients in getting them back to normal functioning. I don't have to travel all the way to Edward's Mill from Franklinton anymore. Wakefield is just 15 minutes away. I highly recommend the Wakefield location.

After six months of visits to the Wake Forest office, an MRI, two biopsies due to an oops on their…read moreend and a referral to another practice for alternate treatment, I was told everything done to date was in question. I've had to start over at DUKE. Now I'm paying to repeat what was done last year. When contacted about me having to pay to repeat tests that were of no use, I was told, "well you received the service". Even though it was botched, too bad. I think if they took their car to be fixed and the mechanic messed up, they would have a different take at it. Thank God I'm not on deaths door. Don't waste your time or money with these people. One star because no stars is not an option.

I can't speak to the physicians of this group due to never being able to schedule an appointment…read more The scheduling coordinator is atrocious, she will call after the business is closed so you don't have the opportunity to speak with them when you return the call. The messages left on voicemail aren't returned promptly and when you do call back it goes right to voicemail, never available.

After a major flare up of my low back disc issue, I had to get a PCP referral as an insurance…read morerequirement. Most all my providers are from Duke Health. My regular PCP was not available, but was able to get into see another very quickly. He provided the referral to ortho. Of course an appt was about 4 wks out unless in a severe need. My flareup was manageable and a lot of rest was calming things down. However I went on the wait list and got a reschedule for end of the wk. The PA I had was very good, patiently listening to my long history - 20 yrs of post disc surgery history with periodic flareups, daily aches and pains in various areas related to the nerves, and my past experience with PT. With only limited info from the X-ray, next stage is a MRI since I've not had an update since the surgery. With the MRI, more detail will help determine next steps. Possibly cortisone injections will be sufficient. I've just relocated here about 2.5 yrs ago, so I am establishing my healthcare anew. So far my Duke providers have been excellent. The only complaint is having to travel to Durham for many procedures because in my case having several replacement heart valves and a pacemaker require a full blown hospital setting "just in case". Plus there are MRI effects on the pacemaker due to my specific custom programming that could be reset. So to avoid any problems, I need the higher level of expertise at the "mothership". Otherwise, Heritage is extremely convenient being only 4 mi from home. In my first year here, I established my cardiac care at Duke Raleigh which is a reasonable drive. My first PCP was at Creedmore, not a terrible drive, but I eventually found a PCP PA at North Park which is much more convenient with backup PCPs and urgent care at heritage. Trigger finger issues started on my right hand about 4 yrs ago before relocating here. I got the initial injections which helped for about 6-9 months. A repeat set of injections, lasted much longer generally mitigating the locking up, still stiff at times but manageable. Eventually found finger on left hand started to lock up, so first PCP referred me to Duke ortho in Durham. Kind of hassle to drive there but went and those shots lasted quite a while. Just in recent months intermittently getting a third right hand finger locking up. So a got a new referral for Duke ortho at heritage - yay! At least this can be addressed more locally now. Not sure if Ortho dept at heritage is new or just recently expanded, but so far it has been far more convenient and so far things are moving along well.

Dr Wittstein is AMAZING! She is very professional and has a great "bedside presence". PA Stewart…read moreleaves a bit to be desired as does Axel and the ladies upfront. It seems that Duke made a business decision to default to self check in. This discriminates against older folks and ESL persons (I'm both). Luckily, I'm computer literate so this is not a problem for me personally. That said, I always leave my appointments feeling a bit bummed having watched so many patients struggle to figure out the touch screens whilst the staff plays on their phones. DO BETTER, DUKE!

I have had multiple services here. However, I am not happy with getting to my appointment on time…read more(or ahead of time) and then not being seen. I tend to book either the first appointment of the day or the second in order not to have to wait and be able to get to my job on time but for the second time at this location, I got to my 9:30 appointment early and walked out at 9:40. If they had an issue and were running late, one of the two receptionists could have let me know but I'll find another spa where they respect my time as much as I respect theirs.

When I was moved closer to her for another treatment, I asked her to leave because her coughing was spreading germs all over the place. She made a sarcastic remark. I immediately left, went to the front desk and canceled the rest of my 36 appointments. A business that lets sick employees amongst its customers, many elderly, should be avoided. BTW, the treatments I received were great by the therapists.

However, OPT on Ligon Mill Road in Wake Forest tops them all! Olivier and his staff were recommended to me through a home PT after a full knee replacement. Adding to this surgery were complications from Vertigo as well the right knee in the same shape as the pre surgery left knee was. My appts have been on time, positive mental attitudes from all staff members, along with just the most friendly professionals, and very knowledgable. Full knee replacements can take a lot of time, patience and work. Having such trained pros helping us to recover, heal and strengthen without overdoing it - makes all the difference! I know what I am going to be going into with another full knee replacement coming up, but with the care of OPT I am ready to schedule the next. Thank you all for the incredible first rate patient help you give all your clients!
