Dec 2024I have the upmost respect and confidence for all staff at Novant Health Care! From the moment I walk in the door I am treated with respect. I never have to wait long before the PA is out to get me, she is always smiling, attentive and always on spot about getting any information that needs to be done. Before she sticks your finger! Dr Edel comes in prepared to handle anything situation that needs attention very professionally, even if I do like to laugh a lot when nervous Dr Edel just laughs and keeps right on tending to business. Then as for blood work the young lady that attended to me on December 30, 2024 was very professional and great at her job, I could not tell she even took my blood! Checking out is always a delight this young lady is always on top of her job. I rarely see anybody else waiting to check out because she gets patients checked out so fast!
