I had my colonoscopy and endoscopy done at Cary Wake Med on January 21, 2021 by Dr. Shannon Scholl…read more I had never been to this hospital before for any procedure and my experience was wonderful! From preregistration throughout the entire procedures I was handled with much care, dignity, and respect! I found each nurse who dealt with me to be very friendly, polite, and very good at explaining what she was doing each time she tended to me! I myself HATE hospitals, but my experience here was outstanding!

Dr. Komada has been her cardiologist for more than six years and knows both her and my father, who…read moreis also his patient, well. My mom was discharged from the ICU yesterday and required home oxygen, which was set up by the hospital. The medical supply company sent a large, heavy plug in unit which doesn't reach the bathroom, making it necessary for her to unplug the unit, which turns off when unplugged, and drag it to the bathroom. Without the benefit of oxygen, that exertion causes her extreme shortness of breath and chest pain. Furthermore, without supplemental oxygen her oxygen saturation drops into the low 80s, which I attempted to explain to Dr. Komada. I called to request that he change the order to a portable unit, which entails filling out a simple form and faxing it to the medical supply company. Apparently Dr. Komada can't be bothered to help his patient despite being on call for the group. He danced around the issue and passed the buck back to the ICU doctor explaining that he didn't write the order so he it isn't his responsibility and he wasn't going to change it. Any physician too lazy or too self-important to do the bare minimum to help a well-established patient, is essentially worthless and I would warn you to consider this review when seeking care from Dr. Komada. My only option now to ask the ICU doctor working today- who has no knowledge of my mother as he has never met her- to help get the oxygen she needs. Furthermore, Duke Triangle Heart Associates supposedly cleared my mother for the thoracic surgery during which she suffered a cardiac emergency requiring emergent cardioversion (they had to shock her twice) on the operating room table. Knowing she is elderly, has obstructive sleep apnea, obesity, COPD and ischemic heart disease- all risk factors for atrial fibrillation- in the presence of worsening shortness of breath that cannot be explained by her pulmonologist, failed to conduct due diligence to assess her for atrial fibrillation prior to clearing her for cardiothoracic surgery, putting her in peril as she underwent anesthesia. Dr. Komada was impatient with me on the phone, cutting me off as I explained the need for a portable oxygen tank, essentially implying that it wasn't his problem and trying to pass the buck to 1. her family doctor (with whom I had already spoken), 2. the medical supply company (whom I had already spoken with to facilitate the process) and 3. the ICU. He even tried to suggest that the medical supply company wouldn't deliver on a Saturday which I had already confirmed would, in fact, make the delivery as soon as the order is changed, and could have it here within hours. My mom's oxygen levels drop to the low 80's each time she has to walk to the bathroom without her oxygen, placing her in grave cardiac peril, which he had no concern about despite her having severe ischemic heart disease. Frankly I'm disgusted by his laissez faire attitude, rudeness and complete lack of concern for his patients. Think twice before using Duke Triangle Heart Associates for your cardiology needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

My 87-year old father lives in the area and worked with this team to get through several issues, including the most recent - a new TAVR valve replacement procedure that was amazing. Throughout, this team of doctors showed amazing care both for my dad and for our family. EVERYONE we dealt with treated us as though we were the only people they had to worry about. I can only say it was an unexpected pleasure - especially since I had to come to Raleigh from Atlanta, GA for the meetings and appointments. We highly recommend these doctors and are grateful for them.

I was with with my father for his surgical procedure and post-operative days. He was a patient of Dr. Tan's for a cardiac valve replacement and the service provided by him and his associates was exceptional. They communicated their caring and concern by taking time to make sure questions were answered and they have processes in place to help both patient and family to feel calm and confident about the planned procedure. The pre-operative process was clearly communicated and was coordinated by an RN who assisted my father and I during the several hours of pre-op tests. The nurse arranged a visit with the anesthesiologist, made sure that test results were complete, and communicated with Dr Tan as needed. The anesthesiologist spent at least 20 minutes with us and asked several times whether we had questions. We met with Dr Tan and his nurse practitioner for about 30 minutes and they again made sure that instructions were clear and that our questions were answered. Dr Tan asked for and used my cell phone number to get in touch with me about the latest updates and about any changes to plans. He also urged me to call him any time if I had a question or a concern. He called or sent text messages and also asked each time whether I had additional questions or concerns. One evening he saw me in the hall and turned around to come talk to me and go with me to see my father so he could personally update us on things he felt were important. The Wake Medical Center staff and hospitality services enabled me to relax and get needed food and rest. Thank you for demonstrating how good medical care can be.
