I sought out help on weight loss... I was given a resident, Dr Mcknight who did an adequate intake. She wrote the prescription incorrectly to the VA and the VA pharmacist explained how to write it correctly for refills and I passed on the information to Dr Mcknight. She again wrote the prescription incorrectly refusing to follow the VA pharmacist instructions and manufacturers guidelines. Next, following msgs back and forth, she said that she "would cancel my prescription", which she did. I asked to be put in contact with her supervising physician, Dr Burns. After several days I was contacted by Dr Burns, who did nothing to resolve the problem. I also left messages with Dr Aloi, the department head several times. He did not contact me. Final results was to be referred back to the VA who cannot see me until 11 July, leaving me without medication for over two months.
I have been a patient at Wake Forest since 2015, having 3 knee replacements, hip plates installed, plates for broken tibia and fibula, L shoulder replacement and R shoulder surgery as well as four other surgeries. Al of those Doctors were absolutely the best! Perfect service. I have and do recommend Wake as the finest organization I have experienced in my 75 years!
The endocrinology department, however, has demonstrated defiance, unprofessional behavior bordering on malpractice without remorse and proven unwilling to assist with the smallest request of help.
Therefore, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend them at all today. Years ago I saw a Dr Makala at Wake endocrinology... She was fantastic, however she left.
