I look forward to returning for future sessions with Mary, including testing out her energy management techniques that we didn't have time for during this hour long session.

StemWave, laser & chiropractic with Dr. Aaron gave me the first pain relief in years for my knee. They did it without a single pill.

Found The Ruby Spa on Yelp and wanted to try them. The hard part was scheduling using there chatbot messaging system when you call and the limitation was you can only schedule same day and not ahead of time.

This spa has only been in business for about two months, and my wife and I partook in a couples Swedish massage. I didn't catch anyone's name, but it seems like Mark was most likely my masseuse based on reviews here and on Google. He is definitely skilled at his trade. He was putting the right pressure, and it was extremely relaxing with the nice elevator music and massage oils on top. Very clean place and he was very welcoming and cordial and would make sure you were enjoying yourself throughout the service. The business is located in mediocre looking strip mall in Durham, which gave us some hesitancy, but don't let that sway you.

It's quite a jump from one star to four, and I'll try to explain how I came to this update…read more I got a call from Dr. Marshall the other day, who told me he'd seen my post on this site. He called not to dispute it, but to apologize for any mistreatment, whether real or perceived. It was a conference call, and Amber (who was also involved in the initial review) took part in the conversation. Both Dr. Marshall and Amber were very professional in their words, and I felt they were both sincere. Before the end of the call, Dr. Marshall offered to re-examine my mother, if only to verify Dr. Ritter's results, at no charge to us. He said he would open a space in that afternoon's schedule if that would suit us... and so we went. Dr. Marshall was nothing if not polite and professional. He came into the exam room (with my wife and me present), and began the consult. Several things became apparent before long: First, Dr. Ritter's numbers appeared to be correct, and Second, my mom's frustration at her inability to see properly (with the glasses) continued. At this point, Dr. Marshall described the current state of my mother's eyes, and explained the limitations that corrective lenses could be expected to yield. He suggested we explore a number of options (low vision tools) that my mother could try - and offered to schedule a consult with a colleague at Duke that specialized in this. It was a bitter pill for my mother to swallow: to come to the realization that her poor vision even with the new glasses was a function of the state of her eyes, and not of an incorrect refraction. Nevertheless, it was the missing key to the earlier appointments, and what allowed me to write this update: we finally had the information that allowed us to understand her condition more holistically. It was the information that, had we been told it by Dr. Ritter in April, would have resolved this matter at that time. Speaking of which: We received a phone call the following day from Dr. Ritter. He also apologized for the breakdown in communication, and left us feeling both heard and respected. I know that this must have been as difficult an exchange for Dr. Marshall and his associates as it was for us, yet they took the initiative to resolve our complaints, and left me feeling that they, and their business, were both honorable and trustworthy. Quite a change from my original review! And so why, despite the original expense and improper placement of the bifocal segment, do I now rate them worthy of FOUR stars? It's because I have found that, although it is often hard for people to discuss matters openly, honestly and frankly - especially when one is needing to accept blame (whether merited or not), in order to move on and continue to improve, these folks - Dr. Marshall, Dr. Ritter, and Amber - were all willing to do so, and thus help us to feel served. That takes a lot of guts, and I truly appreciate them for that. I will not hesitate to utilize their services in the future.

Dr. MELISSA HILL! I can't speak to the other doctors at this location, but I've seen her 3x and…read moreshe's FABULOUS. I really USE Yelp reviews and read them carefully because I really want to know WHY you like a doctor (it is just cuz you think he has "dreamy blue eyes" or is it more?) SO...HERE'S WHY I LIKE DR HILL: 1. I'm 67, fit, active -- walker, runner (not "serious" -- walk/run 2-3 miles 4-6x a week -- swimmer in summer and Fuel Fitness). I have hard plastic orthotics that I've worn for THIRTY YEARS. I assumed, when I first visited Dr. Hill, that my feet have changed over the past 30 (!) years and the orthotics would need to be replaced (not cheap, totally necessary). In other words, 30-yr old orthotics were an engraved invitation to "sell me" new orthotics. Dr. Hill held them to the bottom of my feet and said "well, these still look fine..." I'm not an untrusting person -- but THAT inspired trust! 2. She is a real "problem solver." She doesn't just reach up to her mental shelf and pull off a pre-formulated answer. She really listens and THINKS. And she's very clear, plain-spoken and practical. I have spent $2500 out of pocket (after insurance payments) trying to find out what is causing pain in my right ankle and base of my toes on right foot. 3 x-rays. 3 visits to EmergeOrtho (I could write an essay -- but let me just say I will NEVER EVER return to them -- waste of money. One doctor would contradict the next!) Visited Duke Sports -- and 3 Physical Therapy visits, who said it was tendonitis and only PT exercises would help, over a long time. Exercises DID seem to help -- but still definitely "something not right" and I've been scared to run and scared to do a lot of walking for fear I might cause some kind of real damage. 3. Dr. Hill heard my tale...took xrays. Said "I think what's going on here is complex." Said legs are likely aching due to: 1. my venous insufficiency (wear those compressions socks!). 2. Looks like I don't put the normal amount of pressure on my big toe -- causing the 2 next to it to be bearing more -- getting sore. 3. The two toes next to my big toe slant a bit towards the bit toe. Narrows the gap between the bones on both those toes, possibly somewhat pinching all the things that run between those bones. Said the hard plastic orthotics can sometimes cause an issue -- so go to a store and buy some insoles with heel cups (those were $10 -- so NOT a huge expense). Said to be better about wearing compression sock. When I said "so...why does the middle toe on my right foot stick up like that when I try to curl my toes? Still doing that after a year -- what's causing it?" She said "I have no idea. See? No b.s. -- Just one more reason why I like her. :-)

Dr Hill permanently ruined my toenails with a simple ingrown toenail procedure. When I went to a…read moredifferent podiatrist to have him fix what she had done, he said she used a technique from the fifties on my toes. On top of that, she did the procedure to both toenails, even though only one needed the work. Why? Perhaps because she is a sadist. That was the vibe I was getting. Incredibly rude, dedicated to my pain. She shouldn't be a doctor.
