When I first came here, the service was fantastic. Getting blood drawn took less than five minutes,…read morepaying was a single process, and the doctors were able to see me in less than ten. However, my previous three appointments have been disasters. Waiting to get blood drawn took over an hour, and in my previous blood work appointment the nurse missed the vein twice, and went through it on her third attempt. My last visit resulted in a 50 minute wait to see the doctor, who I only spoke to for about 10 to 15 minutes before I had everything I needed handled and was able to walk out the door. Finding an endocrinologist in Raleigh was not easy, but I'll certainly go through the trouble of finding another if this is the new standard of service I can expect from Creedmoor.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism over 10 years ago in my home country. At the time, I was…read moreoverweight and experiencing all the symptoms hypothyroidism causes in women. Once I began medication, my body regulated itself and my hormonal issue improved; I lost over 50 kilograms without surgery--simply through proper treatment. While taking my medication, my weight and health remained stable for more than eight years. I haven't had access to my medication for the past 10 months; during this time, I have gained weight rapidly, and the symptoms that had previously disappeared have returned. I have spent all of 2026 seeking help and came to this center hoping to receive treatment, but that did not happen. Dr. Polanco saw photos of me from December 2025 and was shocked by my physical transformation and the amount of weight I had gained in such a short time. I also showed her the most recent thyroid ultrasound from my home country, which documented my condition--specifically, that my thyroid has nodules and a goiter. She recorded this medical information in my chart but did not perform a new ultrasound to assess the current anatomical state of my thyroid. She ordered lab tests, and I must say it was the worst experience I've ever had; the lab technician injured my arm so severely that a massive hematoma developed. It lasted over two weeks and caused such intense pain that I couldn't move my arm. I returned to the clinic and showed both the technician and the doctor what had happened, but I didn't receive appropriate care--they dismissed the issue. This forced me to go to the emergency room because the pain was severe and the hematoma kept growing. Ultimately, I received no treatment; I continue to gain weight and suffer from symptoms that affect my quality of life, such as tachycardia and chronic insomnia. I came to this center seeking help but was met only with high bills and terrible care. There are chronic illnesses that can be treated early on, but unfortunately, medical and healthcare system bureaucracy fails to provide timely care until the condition finally worsens; this is truly sad and disheartening. I do not recommend this clinic at all. I have photographic evidence of my arm.

This was our first time to this office. We were referred from another endocrinologist and while it…read moretook a while to get in, the care my daughter received was excellent. The day of the appointment she was to fast and as a result her blood sugar was dropping. She called the office to ask about what she should do as they really needed the fasting labs to understand what was going on with her blood sugar. LaDonna stayed on the phone with her for about 20-30 minutes trying to reach the provider to know what to tell my daughter. Ultimately, the provider wasn't available so she contacted another (on call) provider for us. She really went above and beyond in trying to help us! Once there, the RN Nisha (unsure of spelling and exact pronunciation) was very kind and started getting my daughter screened (going over meds, taking vitals, etc) and when she saw it was taking longer than expected, she get another nurse to come in to assist so that the doctor could come in. When my daughters blood sugar was checked and it was low 50's, they quickly tended to her. The lab personnel came to the room to draw blood instead of having her walk to the lab. Another nurse came in with peanut butter crackers and apple juice. The PA that works with Dr. D'Alessio also came in to ask how she was feeling with the low blood sugar. They were all so attentive and made sure she was okay. Dr. D'Alessio was amazing. He asked very pointed questions about her history, symptoms, etc. in order to better understand what is happening with her body and hypoglycemia. He even thanked her for going through the tough fasting in order to get the information they need from her lab work. He answered any questions we had and assured us we'd hear from him once he got the labs back. I am so grateful for a team of highly trained and knowledgeable professions to help care for my daughter.

I'm writing this review probably 15 years too late. However Duke endocrinology fu*ked my life up!!!…read moreI'm a type 1 diabetic and was under Duke care my entire adolescence. They took no action but to blame me for my high sugar!! When in actuality they are just terrible uniformed doctors!! I made straight A's in high school (even though I had to crawl out of bed to make it to the toilet to puke every morning due to high sugars. I was even selected to go to governor school for art. However these assholes who dictated my childhood said I couldn't go because my sugars were too "out of control" After awhile (years and years) you start to believe their bullshit because you know nothing different. I eventually just gave up on doctors altogether. Long story short, years later, I ended up in the UNC emergency room. After waiting weeks ,with what turned out to be a Staff Infection, and too scared to go to the Dr I was told if I had shown up a day later my leg would have been amputated. I was never able to sign up for insurance because of pre-existing conditions and out of pocket is 3k plus a month highway robbery. However after staying at UNC for a week with a staff infection they taught me carb counting!! Wow what a novel (not new) idea that DUKE SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT ME WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD!!! Needless to say it completely transformed my life. I can't help but wonder where I might be if DUKE HADN'T FU*KED MY LIFE UP BY BLAMING IT ALL ON ME!! I didn't need that sh*t! I could go into more detail of how and why but all I can say is MALPRACTICE!!!!!! from my personal experience!!! I think of suing these as$holes everyday for what they've done to me!! The least I can do is write this review and strongly suggest you look at UNC for endocrinology experts. Things may have changed since in the 15 years since I've been there but any parent out there with a young type 1 get them on the right track early!! Please for their sake check out what UNC endocrinology has to offer
