Takes time to answer questions, review blood work, and generally offer respect and courtesy to patients!

the doctor discovered my husband's sleep apnea and was a very good doctor. He passed away about one week ago due to a sudden heart attack.

I liked the providers at the practice, but moved and established care elsewhere…read more From an admin standpoint, it seems they are going out of their way to make the patient experience difficult. The patient portal was changed a few years ago to something much less usable than the prior portal and now, medical records must be requested from an outside company that takes at least a week to provide records (if they are even provided then, friends have had difficulty with the company insisting records were sent when they were not, and the company has abysmal reviews online) that has no ability to track status of a request, and that doesn't have a phone number on its website (wake told me their was a number there, they couldn't find it either, then gave directions to go through a series of clicks on their own website to get the number, and then finally gave me the number). Had the portal not changed, I would have been able to easily download what I needed. Instead Wake made the decision to go to this new system and I cannot even walk into the office and get records - if I walk in and make a request, I'll have to fill out a form that goes to a third party company to get the records. I was looking at establishing care in Raleigh again but I won't be returning. The providers were good but apparently admin does not care how difficult they make the process of managing the non clinical side of being a patient.

Drs are top notch but this new portal has been down since September 1. If you call it takes 2 to 10…read moredays to get a return call. Too late. I'm not even listed as having an account after 30 years! I had a problem with my son's meds created by them!! Tried for 10 days to get thru. No excuse. Please get it fixed.

For any of you considering DPC for your medical needs ... I have enrolled with Dr. Inaam J…read more Schneider. I've seen her twice so far. The first time was because I was sick with bronchitis. The second was for my new patient physical. She is by far the most comprehensive doctor I have ever seen! She took the time to review my entire medical history, address any/all concerns I had, AND was genuinely interested in who I was as a person. Seriously, when do you ever get that from a doctor??? On top of that, she followed up with me after hours on several issues and took the time to find my prescriptions at the lowest cost possible. Really??? No doctor ever does that. Dr. Inaam J. Schneider does. If you are concerned about ObamaCare and the changes coming or if you are like us and just couldn't afford the new Marketplace pricing, go to Dr. Schneider. I am now convinced the DPC model is the way to go!

Maria (Dr. Schneider's staff) was helpful and cheerful from the moment I walked in and Dr. Schnieder spent more than an hour and half with me, listening and responding to my medical history. Dr. Inaam is knowledgeable, yet humble. In my experience, humility is a rarity in the medical community. Here's how I know this about her: It's really difficult to draw my blood. My veins are small and deep, and I can't tell you how many times I've left a blood draw and had bruises on the insides of both elbows for days. When Dr. Inaam and Maria didn't immediately find a good vein, they didn't poke and poke. They didn't even poke once! They gave me two bottle of water to drink to see whether hydration would help. When it didn't, they sent me to LabCorp where someone who draws blood all day every day quickly tapped a vein and got the blood necessary for my tests. There were many good things about my visit, but that was the thing that sealed the deal and made me sure Dr. Inaam is the right doctor for me.

My insurance didn't accept, so I am out $317. They then wanted labs. They couldn't draw so they asked me to be back in at 750 am the next day. I came in at 740, waited until 840. I asked the front desk after 10+ people were seen. She said "oh you didn't have an appointment so you just have to wait". I set up an appointment at 740 this morning. I got there at 752 because of an accident on or near falls of neuse. 4 people were ahead of me in line. I got to the receptionist and they told me to make another appointment.

I feel she was able to grasp my complex issues fairly quickly- she followed up With labs drawn after the first visit with the results and her recommendations even though they are visible in the Duke my chart- this was my 4th visit to this location- years ago my family gifted a visit when there was a bookstore - lunch and other amenities- even though some of the amenities have changed I feel this practice is well worth the investment- options for a la cart services like yoga & other a la cart amenities available. This location is situated off I 85 & other major routes- near the corner of Moreene & Erwin road a mile or so from the main Duke North Hospital Systems on Erwin Road & nearby Medicine Circle. It's now obscured from a lot of greenery and shrubbery but once you turn into the winding paved path way - the location is a beautifully crafted building remindful of the older Duke bricks and newer bricks building.Uniquely designed - there is a drop off entrance for accessibility with automatic door openers. The reception team members & Nurse equally friendly and knowledgeable. Nice comfortable seating available. In house lab. I shall look forward to utilizing more of these facilities in the near future

This has been an extremely disappointing process at this facility. I went for three months and…read moreduring that time My doctor was always late for appointments, she cancelled my appointment twice (one due to illness) and the other unknown. I was put on an antibiotic for a chronic cough with no X-ray and the antibiotic had a black box warning and I became very ill. It wasn't worth $165 a month and I won't go back.

I called to make an appointment and they said they'd have to call me back, but if I didn't hear back from them to call back in a few days. A little weird, but okay! I called back a week later and the woman who helped me was beyond rude. If I didn't have two friend's who already had positive experiences here I would have said never mind. When she asked what I wanted to be seen for I said a general check up. She rudely told me they don't do that there. I was very confused by this!! I then explained blood work etc and she said you want a physical?! Okay, yes, a physical, the word had escaped me. Anyways I was able to score an appointment for a few weeks later and that was that. I had a much better experience with the front desk staff and enjoyed meeting Dr Pechter. I like that they have you go in for blood work before your appointment so you can discuss your results with your doctor. They have the lab right in their office so that is really convenient as well. I will definitely continue to see Dr Pechter for my yearly physical and anything that may pop up before then.

After being a patient here for many years, I have made the decision to move on to another practice…read more Over time, both the patient experience and the quality of care have steadily declined. The intake and scheduling process feels unfriendly and cold. There is a complete lack of clear procedure throughout the office. Basic steps like how to check in or whether you need to notify the lab that you have arrived are left unguided, leaving patients sitting in confusion. More troubling is the clinical care itself. Providers do not seem to know anything about you, and every year feels like starting completely from scratch. Because clinicians do not know your history, there is zero continuity of care. On top of that, there seems to be a growing number of providers with limited clinical knowledge. It is disappointing to leave a practice I trusted for so long, but the ongoing lack of organization, reduced quality of care, and declining medical standards leave me no choice.

Convenient to my job in RTP & in Brier Creek. Scheduling was easy; however, I had to schedule something two weeks out. WakeMed has a fantastic website where you can make appointments, message your doctor, review medical history, order refills, & send a private message to your doctor. You're also able to complete forms there, which is what I did for my appointment. Check-in was quick. I waited for about 5 minutes past my scheduled appointment time & the Tamesha, a medical assistant came to get me from the lobby. She was very sweet & friendly & was quick during my "pre-screen/check-in" process. I waited for about 20 minutes for my doctor, which I didn't really like, but they were busy, so I was OK. Dr. Rooker came in & she is bubbly & friendly. I adore her! We chatted like old friends. I really feel comfortable with her & she has good bedside manner. She didn't rush my visit either. I'm really happy with this medical practice.

I dropped off my mother here at 2:15 for her 2:30 appt, I thought she would have been seen and done by 3:15, nope, she was still waiting in the lobby. She was finally seen by her provider at 3:40. Get your timing correct, either see less patients or stick to the schedule you offer us.
