I have been with Avance for several years. My NP Mary Holmes is excellent. She listens to me, and respects my choices, and I never feel rushed. The practice is responsive, and the staff friendly and professional. read more

Nice practice. Great patient care. Recommend. Excellent staff. Nice setting. Easy to make appointments

I've been working with Guy Cecelski for a while, and I can't recommend him enough. He brings a calm, open-minded presence to every session, and I always feel genuinely heard and supported. His approach is collaborative and thoughtful, and he's helped me gain real insight. I especially appreciate how inclusive and affirming he is, and how he adapts techniques to fit my needs. read more

Hands down best nurse practitioner that i've ever had is sarah woodruff. She's great, handles everything professional and when you leave you know that everything was taken care of. Highly recommend! read more

Nutritionist Ms. Chelsa Hawkins is real good she listen to what I had to say, and she agreed to follow up and check with my Primary so we can work together to decide what is best going forward to work on good eating habits and continual weight loss. read more

Avance Durham needs to stop advertising itself as providing Urgent Care, and possibly, any care at all. I've been quite happy here for the past 6 years but things have changed. A lot. Took my sister here when she became ill while visiting from out of state. Figured it would be much better to have her seen by a place I know than have her wait it out at Duke Urgent Care. I was wrong. We have been waiting a week for blood results, a week for any kind of follow-up care, and in the meantime, she keeps being told "any day" or "the doctor will phone you soon" and no one has. Her pain is increasing and we are off to the Urgent Care we should have gone to in the first place. Meanwhile, my appointments were switched from the doctor I'd seen, without my knowing it. Sigh. I'm shopping for a new physician and feel horribly that I subjected my sister to such inferior care. read more

Dr Miller is the best Dr I've ever had. I've suffered from chronic pain for 10 plus years. I've seen many specialist but she is the one that listened and has me returning to my former life. I'm exercising and enjoying life again. I highly recommend Dr. Miller and staff read more

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Cornelio and the staff at Avance Care in Durham. I have been a patient of Avance Care for the past 4 years at different locations. I recently did a google search for Functional doctors in the area and found Dr. Cornelio and made an appointment. I have been to see him several times and every time he spends 30-45 minutes with me asking me questions about my sleep, my stress level, my diet, my exercise. He truly listens and is an advocate for supplements, vitamins and amino acids as well as managing diet, stress, sleep and exercise rather than writing a prescription. I felt heard and cared for and would highly recommend Dr. Cornelio to anyone looking for a doctor who is listens and cares for your well being. Also, all of the staff there is amazing - every last one of them! Love this practice! read more

Can't say enough good things about Avance. My g.f. and I came here to start new primary care, from moving from Lexington, K.Y. Dr. Oscar Cornelio-Flores is very kind, and listens very well to your issues. After going thru my medications and verbal history (waiting for records to be sent for further eval.) he and I agreed on a plan of care to help with my concerns. We did this jointly, and he made sure I knew what changes he was making. Very thorough! To give an idea of how much they care, each exam room has a sound wave system that plays a low volume of the surf, gurgling streams or new age music - just to put you at ease. Scheduling is easy .. they even have a psychiatrist and mental health workers to help with psychotropic mediations. I have been to a LOT of providers ( I am an R.N.) and believe Avance is one of the best, complete care providers I have been too. Lucky to have found them. To Your Health! read more

Called to make a appointment and make sure they took my insurance which they said they did over the phone but when i arrived for my appointment they told me they dont take my insurance. A big waste of time and money since i had to pay out of pocket. read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have any reviews yet! This was by far, THE BEST PLACE for any health care needs I could have had! I've only ever had doctors who walk in with their iPad,face down and typing notes into my chart and most of my visits last about 5 minutes; never felt like they really cared. I just moved to the area and met with Dr. Cornelio-Flores and had the greatest experience ever! Not only did he spend enough time with me to learn all of my previous health issues/concerns, but he gave me a plan to tackle some problems I was having with my medications. After that, he gave me a tour of the facilities health and fitness center and also set me up with the centers OBGYN. They have almost everything in house (health, nutrition, fitness, bloodwork, etc) I also met the facilities manager and she was so welcoming and pleasant! read more

I was visiting North Carolina and ended up with food poisoning that I later learned was Ecoli. I was in search of the best doctor I could find and one who would do more then just treat my symptoms. I have extremely high standards and was thrilled to meet Dr. Cornelio-Flores. Not only was he able to give me the utmost care I could ever hope for - he became my partner in healing. He cares as much for your heart as for your ailments! I love his approach... completely brilliant about Western medicine and able to use complimentary natural alternatives to restore your health. Now the only last challenge is being back in Los Angeles without my new favorite doctor! If you are in North Carolina, you are so lucky to be under the care of this doctor and amazingly caring office! read more

I struggled knowing I had to change my primary care provider from my current Integrative Medicine doc. I do have complex needs and I am particular and informed about the kind of care I receive. I have only met with Dr. Cornelio-Flores once so far, however I feel confident that together we will keep my body as health as possible with the least invasive care possible which is important to me. Even though I already have an acupuncturist, it's great to know that that service is available as well as a nutritionist who is also training in functional medicine. My understanding is that he provides a wide range care, I know not everyone requires the depth and frequency of care. His demeanor and warm personality had me at ease almost immediately and I trust that would be desirable for anyone. I look forward to seeing him again! read more

This is the best medical experience I have had in years! I can not say enough good things about this practice. As I said to a friend of mine after my first visit, " this is not factory medicine" like most of the other medical facilities in this area. I have been in this area for 14 years, and have yet to find a doctor that I felt really had much interest in trying to be of help. Avance Care is just the opposite. The doctor spent a lot of time getting to know me, going over the lab work, and making referrals. All of my involvement was with staff who went out of their way to be helpful. I can not say enough how lucky I feel to have found this group. And, there location is very convenient and pleasant. They are geared to treating the total person with traditional as well as more holistic approaches. In summary, if you want to see a doctor who spends time with you, shows that he/she cares, and is not sitting on their computer while you are talking to them, Avance Primary Care should be your place to seek treatment. read more

Excellent providers and staff at the Durham location. Efficient and thorough care. Highly recommended!

Dr. Oscar Cornelio-Flores is awesome. He is very detailed. I work in healthcare and know that quality care this day and time has almost diminished. Thank Advance Care at Durham for all you do. By the way the staff is awesome. Latoshia Durham,NC read more

If you want a COVID test, go to CVS. I scheduled a rapid test for 8:20 AM. This was the beginning of the misinformation they gave me. They called me at 8:25, then told me that I wouldn't be getting tested until 10 or 3. I purposefully scheduled my test early because I am a student. When I went to get my test I waited for 10+ minutes and then had to administer the COVID test to myself. Afterward, they let me know they had given me the wrong test. The test was in fact not a rapid test, which I had been told multiple times was what I was receiving because it was what I had asked for. They made the decision to not give me the rapid test and yet neglected to tell me. Outrageous, overpriced, literally anywhere else would have been a better place to get a COVID test. read more

I just started at this clinic moving from Asheville. These are the nicest health professionals I've ever been in care of. I like the diligence and friendliness of the staff and the doctors are innovative. This is and continues to be one of the BEST introductions to Durham I've encountered. read more
