Dr. Walker took his time in answering my questions and was very thorough in his exam. He happily explained every detail in the process. I did not feel rushed. He is a very pleasant person. My appointment was prompt and I had no problem in making an appointment. Not sure if it was just my type of exam, but I did not have to endure the drops that require you to leave with dark glasses and that was my second visit. His staff was very good and they explained my insurance well. I highly recommend.

Leaving this practice and should have a long time ago!…read more The wait times are inexcusable- I have always been made to wait at LEAST 45 minutes for my scheduled appointment. If I showed up that late they would charge me a missed apt fee and make me reschedule. They make you pay upfront for what should be sent through insurance...and then bill insurance in addition! Sometimes you are reimbursed but not always and not full the amount. Charged additional $200 "office fee" at my annual exam which is covered by insurance. When I called a few days later to ask why they said (DIRECT QUOTE) "because you talked to your doctor about stuff"... nothing new was diagnosed, no procedure performed, no medications prescribed, no new issues discussed other than additional symptoms of existing issues! This was the final straw... moving to my daughters doctors office who NEVER charges additional fees for annual exams regardless of how many things are discussed or new issues diagnosed.

They allow people in the hot tub without showering off, there is, in fact, no signage to this effect until they have already passed the showers and entered the pool area. Thought rinsing off would be a given but not so. There is not enough equip. unless you are a weightlifter and it's often hard to get a machine because there are so few ( except treadmill ). They often don't replace the wipes in a timely fashion tho they have little signs that say "don't forget". Some may say the pool is heated, I contest that ( and no, they do not have towells) but do have plenty of lockers. Staff is friendly enough, but any discussion you might try to have with managemnt about a concern will end with them becoming arbitrary. ( defined by Webster as, " decisive, yet unreasoned."

A search indicated a pool/workout area within the Phifer Wellness Center. After a lunch at Moon Dog Pizza, I drove over to check out the Wellness Center, adjacent to Grace Hospital in Morganton. The Drexel Heritage Aquatic Center is located within the Wellness Center and features a 3'/6'/3' depth pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and shower area. The facility is very clean and well maintained. Towels are provided, as are spacious lockers for use during your visit. The heated pool is placed within an area with a restful colour scheme (no glaring lights!). Fast-paced 'workout' music is piped-in for those working with movement exercises. There are several access ladders, as well as a set of access steps into the pool. Additionally, access is provided for those needing wheelchair accessibility. It must be noted that while several pieces of water rescue apparatus are placed along the pool area, there is NO LIFEGUARD on duty, ever. The parking area is clean and reasonably level, with plenty of Handicap Parking available. Drexel Heritage Aquatic Center and the Wellness Center accepts members of the SILVER SNEAKER program, at NO COST! This allows visitors carrying membership in the Silver Sneaker program to continue their wellness programs when away from their home base, or local residents access to a fine gym/pool at little or no expense. Consider the Phifer Wellness Center your very own 'Workout 'Gem' in the Upper Piedmont'!
