I had an appointment scheduled for more than six months with Dr. Karen Jones in Duke Neurosurgery…read more I traveled from Hawaii at very significant financial, physical, and emotional cost for this consultation. Prior to the visit, Duke had access to over 40 pages of medical records, imaging summaries, neurological evaluations, and supporting documentation regarding my medically complex condition, including genetically confirmed CMT2A2, prior cervical and lumbar fusion surgeries, severe chronic pain, and progressive neurological decline. Despite this extensive preparation and the length of time the appointment had been scheduled, I never actually saw Dr. Jones. I was seen only by a nurse practitioner, who informed me that based primarily on the most recent MRI imaging I brought with me, there was "no surgical target" and nothing Neurosurgery could offer. At no point during the six months leading up to this visit was it clearly communicated to me that the entire consultation outcome would depend almost exclusively on direct review of one recent MRI disc rather than the extensive records already submitted. I repeatedly expressed concern before traveling that I did not want to come all the way from Hawaii if my case was not considered appropriate for the department. I was never told that the consultation might effectively be ruled out based on the interpretation of a single MRI study. I was later told that this had supposedly been communicated through MyChart, but I never received such a message. The interaction itself was deeply distressing and lacking in compassion. I was already emotionally overwhelmed due to repeated referral difficulties within the Duke system and the extreme burden of navigating complex medical care while in severe pain. Rather than receiving guidance, continuity, or referral assistance, I felt abruptly dismissed. No meaningful next-step referrals were offered during the visit despite my medically complex history and the fact that multiple physicians in Hawaii, including my neurologist and primary care physician, believed further neurosurgical evaluation was appropriate. I was particularly distressed that nerve conduction studies and neurological findings from my treating physicians appeared to be brushed aside without serious discussion. My understanding from my neurologist was that chronic nerve compression below my lumbar fusion remained a significant concern, especially given the limitations of imaging interpretation in the presence of spinal hardware. I also found it upsetting that my BMI was highlighted prominently in the chart despite being only slightly above the "normal" range. In the context of a patient presenting with severe chronic pain, neurological disease, prior fusion surgeries, and significant functional decline, this felt unnecessary and shaming. By the end of the encounter, I was emotionally devastated. I had already requested a social worker before the appointment because I feared how emotionally fragile I had become during this process. The social worker who later met with me witnessed the severity of my distress. My concern is not simply that surgery was declined. I understand specialists may disagree on treatment options. My concern is the way this process was handled: the lack of transparency before travel, the absence of direct physician consultation after such an extensive wait and preparation process, the dismissive tone of the interaction, and the complete lack of coordinated transition planning or compassionate referral guidance for a medically vulnerable out-of-state patient.

Very convenient as the labs are right downstairs. I also really like the online Duke Health portal…read morethat allows me to view my lab results pretty much as soon as they come in as well as my vitals taken at time of visit (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, etc). They post wait times for each provider on the white board. I see a PA, so my wait times average 10 minutes. Front desk staff are ok, not the most friendly. I personally like it a lot because it's convenient, I love the online portal, and my PA responds to e-mails (AWESOME!). Docking 1 star because the wait room environment is horrible & they really should put some hand sanitizer dispensers all around.

Oftentimes new patient appointments are long, with cumbersome check in processes, but that was absolutely not my experience.

Checkout was even smoother, AND I already scheduled my annual for next year--so convenient! Thanks for a great experience, Duke Family Medicine!

I was scheduled to get blood work done at this location. my appointment was 1pm. I arrived at…read moretwelve forty five as instructed. I had completed the pre check in and I clicked "I'm here" to confirm i was in the waiting room. My instructions dais to take a seat until I was called. There were two people waiting when I came in.And they were both taken within ten minutes of my arriving. More people came in and were taken back while I sat there and waited. Half hour after my appointment time, I went to the counter to let them know that I was unable to wait any longer because I had another appointment to get to. The person at the counter said that the online check in doesn't work.And that they could take me at that time. Unfortunately, since I had given them as much time as I could.I was not able to get my blood work done there.I will be rebooking in a different location. It seems to me that if the location knows that they're online check in system is not working.And they see someone sitting in their waiting room for forty five minutes unattended that perhaps they should check in and see if perhaps that person did the online check in. This was an unsatisfactory experience and I will avoid this facility.

Security staff stated to me directly that the ADA does not apply to Duke. I rely on ADA‑protected…read moreaccommodations to safely and effectively manage post‑concussion syndrome and autonomic‑dysfunction-related limitations. I requested police assistance three separate times in an effort to stop the ongoing harm. I was forced into an avoidable medical episode because security objected to my lawful accommodation: working my service dog off‑leash so she could safely and effectively perform the medical tasks she is trained to do. My dog is fully qualified and consistently demonstrates stable, professional behavior in all environments; this is documented on my YouTube channel at youtube.com/@biblicaldogs Security also informed me of new restrictions on what items could enter the building. My everyday tools -- a pocket knife and Halt 2 -- were taken from me. I asked that these items be held so I could retrieve them after my appointment, because with my brain injury I did not have the cognitive bandwidth to return to my car and navigate back to the neurology building. That request was denied, and I permanently lost those tools. Following the incident, I experienced an autonomic dysfunction episode. My cognitive capacity was reduced to the point that I could not fully interpret my service dog's alerts, and I subsequently fell. A service dog team depends on the handler's ability to cooperate with the dog; that ability had been compromised by the earlier misconduct. She assisted me in recovering from the fall as trained, but I was two hours from home, alone, and a dog cannot drive. Despite my efforts to stabilize, my ability to safely drive myself home was impaired. I go to the hospital to improve my functioning, not to have it harmed. Because of the lawlessness and disregard for patient safety demonstrated by security, I filed ADA complaints at both the state and federal levels, notified Senator Tillis's office, the VA and my care has been rerouted to Wakefield.

They're very thorough and up to date on current medicines and trials. The EMG center is in the same clinic so it's super convenient.
