    I hope you find this helpful.

    Honestly speaking, there are a lot of FMP providers in places like the Philippines that are better maintained than this place. Plus they have far more polite staff. First is the parking. There is almost nothing near, and the spaces are crazy small. I was pushing someone up an enclosed walkway from the hospital to an adjoining parking deck. The incline is ridiculous. If you're at all injured or elderly you're not pushing anyone up this thing. If it were a private hospital, the feds would probably sue them for having this thing. Inside, a disabled senior citizen, Marine, in a wheelchair was in front of me when I was there. As we were coming up to a hallway intersection, some guy who worked there stopped in the entrance of our hallway to the cross hallway, blocking the entrance In other words, we could not go into the next hallway and turn the corner because this guy was in the way. He stopped to talk to a coworker and didn't care we were right there. It took about a second for me to realize what he was doing, but before I could ask him to move, the Marine (Semper Fi) in the wheelchair in front of me did. The dude and his colleague looked at us like we were aliens. Bro... Don't be so rude and disrespectful. Another employee I spoke to, I asked where the blue elevator was. He held up his arms and shrugged with an "I don't know" gesture, then turned away. I mean, you have people here who lost limbs to keep you free. Stop treating them like they're a rock in your shoe. Terrible.

    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.

The radiology nurses were wonderful and funny, too! The procedure was explained and while being in a metal tube for close to an hour is not enjoyable, the staff really eased the process. The only complaint is the parking is hard to come by, we were on the 5th floor of the parking garage. It was mobbed! And, wow, it is a confusing facility. Not only huge, but there are three separate radiology areas and of course, we went to the wrong one. A lot of walking, hard to find a parking spot and overall confusion were the drawbacks. However, regarding the cars received and the help of a few kind strangers, we got to the appropriate location. Side note - gift shop was so cute and a great place to grab a water and a protein bar while you sit in the waiting areas.

Turns out one of the side effects is rapid weight gain. That's how they get their results? From utilizing medication that isn't appropriate for the patient!!!!! Very self serving. Got my daughter out the very next day. Months later I received a bill for 12 DOSES of various medications they say they gave her during her 27 hours there. She said she remembers taking two doses of medicines so I can't decide what is worse the fact that they are indicating that they gave her 12 doses of medicine during those 27 hours or the fact that they're billing me for medicine that they didn't give her? There is something very wrong about this whole thing, and I would like to dive further into it.

    Wrote a review yesterday 12/30 about a tech hurting me during a mammogram and ignoring my pain…read more Supervisor of Mammography did call me in the morning the next day 12/31, addressed that problem, and had me come in to evaluate the wound and treat it. She even gave me her direct phone number. The first mammogram had indicated that a second mammogram and possibly an ultrasound would be necessary. I have met my 2025 out-of pocket, so if the tests were done that day, the 31st, I would incur no further costs. Karie, the supervisor, went above and beyond to contact my family doctor, get orders for the mammogram, then scheduled me into the main hospital at Chapel Hill and personally did the diagnostic mammogram. It showed I needed an ultrasound and it was able to be done immediately at UNC Chapel Hill. Karie and the techs there were wonderful. Karie has also scheduled a meeting with a tech this week and entered notes into my chart that will avoid this type of incident. Apparently, as women age and their skin gets thinner, it is quite common.

You do have to walk across the indoor bridge to get there unless you valet park. They charge $2 an hour for parking. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Everything is done with an arm bracelet for things such as lab or testing. I had an appointment with neuromuscular department. The physicians and therapists are excellent. 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. Being part of the Duke portal is convenient for Atrium Wake Forest and Cone Health because all testing is visible and they can also see visit notes from the doctors. It makes it possible to see providers from different networks and not having to bring in or sign for your records to be shared. The facility is massive and the color system makes it easy to find your way. There are several labs so you don't have to walk a mile to get to one. Most walk in tests can accommodate with minimal waiting. It's about a quarter mile walk from the parking garage to the clinics so wear comfy shoes or walking device. You will have a lot of walking to do and there's limited seating in the main corridors.
