Even with active wounds they require you to wait 6 weeks while you do compression therapy. They do an painful ultrasound and discharge you with a piece of paper that looks like a prescription for some type of kooky Velcro leg compression wraps that they don't sell, and no one in the office knows even knows where to get them. When I called the local medical supply places (Family medical and Blue ridge medical) they don't carry them either. When I called back to their office to ask where to obtain the wraps the reply was "I don't know, try googling it?" Wow. Good luck with their primary demographic navigating the internet and being compliant. Thankfully I searched Velcro calf wrap on Amazon and got a pair for $20 vs the crazy $99 PER LEG mess that they were hawking. For $20 she can take them on and off herself, unlike awful compression hose! If she'd known about these years ago we wouldn't have needed to waste our time even going here. Thanks to Amazon and these wraps I doubt we will be back.

I went to this practice because of my history with preeclampsia. My blood pressure started to get…read morehigh so I called the practice for help. The on-call nurse told me that they "didn't have time" to see me because someone was on vacation. She told me that if my blood pressure got up to 160/110, I could go to OB triage (basically the ER for pregnant women), but otherwise I could not get any treatment. I put in an official complaint with Duke Hospital, reminding them of their previous medical neglect that I could have sued them over, and they magically had appointments available in the clinic. Lawyers shouldn't have to get involved to be able to schedule an obstetrics appointment. The doctor who did my induction was so awful, I ended up dismissing her.

Probably close to brand new. It's on one of the top-ish floor of the building which also includes apartments, offices, and restaurants. Make sure you park on top, right near the entrance, or staff will advise you to move your car. Check-in and wait time for my appointment was nominal, and my ultrasound and blood work went fairly flawlessly. The ultrasound tech was very friendly and walked us through the various parts of the baby she was looking at to check for which birth defects or development deficiencies. During the ultrasound the tech found a small mass in my bladder that was causing her some concern, so she called in Dr. Sarah Ellestad to take a look. Dr. Ellestad asked me some questions about my medical history and explained that she was concerned about it and wanted me to get it checked out further, which I totally understand and I respect her opinion, however she was a bit excited (maybe a liiiitttle less coffee for her) and got my husband who was also present a little too worked up about this mystery bladder lump, too. I don't know about you, but I prefer my medical professionals calm and level-headed. All that aside, I'm very grateful that the ultrasound tech found this small mass. It ended up being nothing, but had it been something bad, like cancer, I would have especially grateful that they found it early because I never would have known it was there. I plan on going back in a few weeks for my 18-20 week anatomy scan.

The room was spacious and really nice, which made the whole experience feel calm and special. I already can't wait to go back when baby is bigger! I know they don't have a ton of reviews yet (I think they just opened!), but I'd absolutely recommend giving them a try. It was affordable and such a great experience.

Melissa has been our virtual Doula and it feels like she's been right with us through every stage of the labor and postpartum process. Whether it be real-time laboring positions, breastfeeding/lactation tips, labor recovery, or immunization intel, Melissa is so full of knowledge (and is surrounded by a team of experts to add an additional layer of intel') and swiftly shares it right when you need it the most! Highly recommend; thank you, Melissa!!

***BEWARE--Melissa stole almost $3,000 from my family***…read more Melissa was our doula for the birth of our son. She was excellent. When I found out I was pregnant with twins, we hired her again without hesitation. She was absent during my pregnancy except for 1 short phone call (which she rescheduled twice) and when she asked me via text to borrow $1200 for medical bills when I was 6 months pregnant. This was in addition to the full amount we had already paid her for her doula services. I told her I wasn't comfortable lending her money but I could pay her in advance for postpartum doula services. She agreed and I sent her the money. 1 week later she posted on Facebook that she had adopted a large dog--I thought that was odd seeing as she had just asked to borrow money from us. It was 3 weeks into COVID at the time I went into labor and doulas were not allowed in the hospital, so she could not attend our birth. She encapsulated my placenta and made a print of my placenta, as we had agreed upon. When I found out her partner at the time was an ER nurse with obvious close contact to COVID patients, I didn't feel comfortable with her providing postpartum doula services to my twins who were born 6 weeks premature. She said she understood and would give us a full refund but wasn't in a financial position to refund our money all at once. We said we understood and in June of 2020 we set up a payment plan for her to pay us $100 a month. We really cared about her and didn't want her to feel a financial strain during what we knew was a stressful time for everyone. From the time we set up the payment plan in July of 2020 to the time I wrote this review on July 10th, 2022 Melissa has paid us $200. My husband and I texted her several gentle reminders about our payment plan and she never responded to either of us. I reached out to a friend in the birth community to see if Melissa was ok. She told me Melissa was on a cross country vacation with her partner. I was shocked seeing as she owed us so much money. It wasn't until I threatened to contact the Better Business Bureau that she responded immediately with a slew of excuses and finally dropped off my placenta print on July 2, 2022 (2 years and 3 months after my twins were born). I hesitated to write this review because I saw a thread on a local birth Facebook page where her partner had threatened to kill someone who posted a negative review claiming a very similar experience to my own. Losing the money was unfortunate but feeling swindled by someone who we allowed to be so close to our family has been devastating. She has communicated no remorse. I would hate for anyone else to be taken advantage of during such a vulnerable time.

I believe their Durham location is fairly new, and is part of this large building off NC 54 by the 40 Freeway (it's really easy to find). The staff is not only very friendly, but they were also helpful in getting my new little baby girl set up as a new patient. I am a new first-time mom (just over 2 weeks) and finding a pediatrician before was not necessarily easy. There are so many great choices! I noticed that Chapel Hill PA had a great website, great feedback from friends, and lots of good Yelp reviews for their Chapel Hill location. After giving birth at UNC, my little one and I got quickly set up at their Durham location and have had really pleasant visits since. We have seen Dr. Joe and Dr. Woodrum at the Durham location, and we loved them both - especially Dr. Woodrum! The doctors were both friendly, caring, helpful and attentive to my husband and I's questions and needs. Most of all, they take their time with each family they see. The pediatrics team does a great job of making new parents feel at ease and prepared for the new chapter of life that awaits them. I am so happy to have chosen Chapel Hill Pediatrics and Adolescents (Durham Location) for my newborn.

We've seen a few other pediatricians since moving, and nobody has ever compared to Dr. Cooley. She's warm, kind, understanding. She has the perfect temperament to be in the field that she's in. When we had our daughter, she made us feel better about not knowing what we were doing. She never made us feel stupid for the millions of obvious questions that we asked. She always answered with grace and kindness. I wish we could replicate her because she truly is one of a kind. I would recommend Dr. Cooley to anyone - especially to new parents. She is absolutely wonderful.

I've gotten an ultrasound and ct scan on different dates. Both times I've come here, everyone was extremely kind & quick (not in a rushed way). From the front desk to the techs, they made me feel cared for and welcomed. My ultrasound tech (who i can't remember the name of unfortunately) was very kind, well spoken, patient, professional and caring. I felt very comfortable as a female patient getting a pretty uncomfortable ultrasound. My CT scan tech named Lisa was phenomenal. A day before the scan, she called me to go over everything about the steps, my history and made me feel so ready for the scan. She took her time with me on the phone and stayed on for what seemed like 30 minutes due to questions and history I had. not once did she make me feel rushed. only cared for and i felt understood. I basically felt like I was talking to a friend. She made me feel so much more at ease. When my appointment came, Lisa made me feel confident I was in great hands. She was also well spoken, smart, professional, compassionate, empathetic, everything you would want and more from someone in the medical field. I'm so grateful for her and will definitely always remember her as one of my favorite techs! (i've had a ton!) This place is lucky to have the employees I've encountered while being here. I would highly recommend it. Thank you :)

The front desk staff are friendly, check you in and get you seen quickly. The technicians are all experts at getting your scans done as quickly as possible, are very professional and ask if you're all right throughout the process.

Since Covid, I've appreciated being able to check-in online at home, being able to wait in car until tech is ready and getting into the procedure within minutes.
