Verified patient
Jan 2024The doctor recommended a pneumonia shot, and after waiting 15 minutes, the nurse came back in to clean the room at which time I told her I was waiting for the shot. Five minutes later, she came back in to give me the shot. The doctor usually requests a mammogram for me, which was not done. I wrote a note in My Chart asking for the referral, which I did get. But only because I had called radiology, and not because my chart notified me. once the blood work is done, unless those numbers have changed dramatically, or if I have new issues, I wonder if an in-person visit is warranted. Of course it's always good to see your primary face-to-face at least once a year.
Verified patient

Verified patient
Jan 2024I have total confidence in Novant.
Verified patient
Jan 2024The staff has changed and most are in the learning curve at my expense. Trying to learn who they are and to have better communications. The former nurse knew us and we had a good working relationship. We are not there yet. With all due respect I don't think Novant has our best interest like new Hanover did. You are like a business, higher, fire and higher less qualified to save a few $$$. Cut the CEO's $$ and get the money to cover the care that is needed.
