I'm not quite sure how to review this clinic, but since one of my favorite doctors practices here, I thought I would drop a line.
Duke Clinic is adjacent to Duke University Hospital. You can actually walk to and from the clinic and hospital via the skywing. When you enter, there is a welcome desk. The clinic is quite old (at least the building is), so it can be tricky to find the right floor and elevator where your doctor is located. You can ask at the welcome desk, or as I found out, you can just pop your head into any office and ask for help! All of the doctors, nurses, and staff that frequent the clinic hallways are all extremely friendly and seem to understand how one could get lost. There are maps of course and a directory on the wall, but between the "red elevator" and the "yellow elevator" etc., things can get a little confusing. No worries though. The welcome desk can help you and your doctor can even give you a little map. After my hmmm 3rd or 4th visit I had it down. LOL!!!
Of course I can only attest to the abilities of my doctor, but she is top of the line. MD/PhD and has one of the best bed side manners I've ever come across. Available by email, cell phone, and home phone for emergencies, and always has a doctor on call. She is also available to be paged if necessary. Sweet, caring, and absolutely brilliant. I have a very complicated case of Lyme Disease and Duke Clinic has served me well. So well, that I live in NJ and travel to see my doctor two or three times a year.
Other odds and ends, there is a gift shop. You can purchase water, juice, coffee, t-shirts, etc. Sarah P. Duke Gardens is located right across from the parking deck and is a lovely during any time of the year. It's a nice place to walk around and relax if you are early for your appointment or if you have a guest with you and they need to kill time. Parking deck is attached to the clinic, and you can't miss it. You do have to pay, it's typically 4 dollars for 2 hours. Just save your ticket, for you have to pay inside before you leave.
I haven't had any problems with my insurance here. Very relaxing facility. If you live in the area or are looking for a new doctor, and have run out of options check out Duke Clinics. read more
