Feb 2024The waiting area and check-in process exceeded my expectations. I was immediately notified of a 30-min waiting time beyond my scheduled appt. time. The nurse who broughy me in was considerate and thorough. Dr. Craig is an outstanding medical provider. She answered all my questions, and also asked several follow-up questions for clarification. Overall, this was a VERY favorable experience.

Jan 2024Dr. Craig is an exceptional doctor. Although she was far behind schedule, she spent time with me, did not rush, listened to my concerns, discussed my health needs, and is always very personable. She is always prepared when I see her. She has reviewed my test results and my chart prior to seeing me. This is a rarity in healthcare today. Novant is lucky to have such an intelligent, caring, and informed physician on their team.

Jan 2024Dr Craig and her medical assistant (she did introduce herself, but I am sorry I have forgotten her name) are very professional and kind.

Jan 2024It was definitely an upgrade from my previous provider with Carolina Health Specialists. I always hated going into the office because the staff acted like I was an inconvenience and the provider just barely spoke. The visit to your office was VERY different, everyone was pleasant and professional and I’m so glad that I have changed to my Novant provider, Dr. Tara Craig. Thank you.

Verified patient
Oct 2023From the receptionist who checked me in for the appointment to the blood draw technician at the end, this was a good experience. The doctor allowed time for discussion about my health, got appointments for other care underway. I was taken back before my appointment time, the assistant did all the preliminary things, said the doctor would be in shortly. I waited over 30 min after that before the doctor came in. I didn't like that part as I was missing work. It's a common occurrence when seeing doctors but I had hoped, since my appointment was mid-morning, there wouldn't be so much of a delay. All in all, I would still highly recommend this practice/doctor based on the care provided.
