Avance Primary Care Reviews ( 250 )

  1. I scheduled an appointment for 7:30 weeks ago, the called the day before and confirmed it. I just walked in and they tell me there was a glitch in the system and they tried to contact me. They had to reschedule me for 8:40 or the next day. This is ridiculous.

  2. This is in reference to Brier Creek. Unbelievably incompetent. They actually made me sick – and threw away my health because of their incompetence.

  3. The office staff is very nice and on top of things. I saw Kyle and he was awesome and answered all my questions and concerns. I’m making this place my go to!

  4. It was a great experience. I felt very comfortable because the staff was friendly and made me feel at ease. All my questions were answered and explained well. I was in and out in no time.

  5. Required urine sample at every visit (added cost). They also required that I take a “psychological test” on a computer at check-in and charged $50 for that utterly unnecessary “evaluation” where I merely clicked to answer a few questions. My experience here has been similar to negotiating products and services with a car salesman.

  6. Thank you Myah for checking me in. It’s a Blessing to have Carinne take of my Medical needs. I love it here. I’m very comfortable talking to about anything.
    Thank you
    Donna

  7. Great service, friendly staff!

    UPDATE Went back for a COVID test, and NP Shivas and his MA Ashlyn were fast, friendly and extremely professional. 10/10 recommend!!

  8. Thorough evaluation and treatment. Very nice staff. Dr. Fruth explained everything very well with pictures and talking my treatment through with me. Excellent!

  9. Very pricey. $300 for a basic consultation that took about 20 minutes. $26 for a behavioral assessment I didn’t ask for??? All on top of the $70 lab tests, only for them to tell me they didn’t know what was wrong with me.

  10. Wouldn’t recommend this Advance Care. I was a new patient and I was highly disappointed in how much they do not care about their patients. I had to find another primary care.

  11. I have been coming to Avance Care for years now and they have always made me feel welcome and at home. I feel like the staff here truly has a heart for patient care.

  12. A good practice, but don’t be late. I’m 88 years old. I was 6 minutes late. I drove from Clayton, NC to get there. They wouldn’t see me. I had to leave.

  13. Great experience, easy to check in and did not have to wait. Carinne and Joe were awesome. Front desk staff very helpful. Everyone took time necessary to answer questions, I never felt rushed.

  14. Apparently, they do not pick up the phone during office hours. Or if they do pick it up, then they’ll hang up immediately afterward. This occurred on 10/29/21 at 4:00pm-4:40pm. I’ve called 8 times

  15. Very impressed with the service, the efficiency of the staff, and the time the doctor spent with me. Overall great experience! This will be my primary doctor from now on! 5 stars

  16. My experience has been awesome every time I go. Very knowledgeable on steps I need to take to improve my health. All the staff has been great, they deserve an A+!

  17. I have been seeing Dr. Shivas for over half a year now and he’s amazing! Every time I visit him he is extremely kind and caring. I highly recommend this doctors office and Dr. Shivas.

  18. Dr. Brayboy is awesome! He listen attentively and he seems to genuinely care about your health needs. He is very knowledgeable. He is very patient. The staff is also pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Brayboy with Avance Care.

  26. Dr. FruthFruthaways takes the time to get to know you and make you feel comfortable. I always feel listened to. The staff is very friendly. The wait is never long. It is very convenient that the pharmacy is attached.

  27. Wayy to many appointments needed for just simple issues. Feels like I need to make an appointment for ever step of the way… and it cost money every time for an appointment. Even a quick question that I had required an appointment.

  28. The staff & Dr. Fruth are amazing. Very nice & patient. I did have a bit of a wait but where do you go where you don’t have to wait a bit? Overall I had a great experience & will be going back here when needed.

  29. Joanne Fruth MD really cares about her patients. She goes the extra mile to deliver the best healthcare I have had in years. A wonderful PCPhysician who is smart, serious, and pays attention to the details.

  30. If u owe a tittle u better pay that in full (not even a payment) in Full or else you won’t get an appointment … not even one that could possibly save your life…

  31. The best physician practice in NC. The best care most efficient. Dr Fruth, is Amazing. Technology savvy, and cery thorough. This physician practices offers so many resources its just simply incredible.

  32. Victoria and Kyle made my day fitting me in for a Sunday appointment! The rest of the staff there is fantastic too. Always professional with care in mind. This is what more medical practices need in America!

  33. Very professional. They see me in a timely manner(making appointments and while in the office). I don’t feel like they push you through, they take the time to listen to your issue and come up with a plan to resolve your issue and want to …

  34. Had another great experience this morning. Ashlyn is such a kind caregiver, and so helpful! And Chivas is a wonderful guy to have leading my healthcare team!

  35. My initial experience was great. Which makes it even worse when the “medical professional” doesn’t do their job properly in the end. Like IGNORING lab results that provide a probable diagnosis. If I can read and interpret my results better …

  36. Yesterday I was helped by a medical assistant named Jazmin before my appointment. Not only was Jazmin excellent at her job, but she was also very welcoming and warm, answering my questions and letting me know what what going to happen before each procedure.

  37. Called for a new patient appt, they got me in that same day. Friendly, thorough and efficient. From the appt to the lab, everyone had great bedside manner and seemed to care, even at the end of a Monday! I highly recommend this care center.

  38. Upon going to school in Raleigh, I was in search for a new primary physician. After dealing with anxiety and panic for years I decided to speak with Mrs. Meghan Presnell about my current situation, to see what i should do. …

  39. Shivas Gilotra is the best! He takes care of me…the whole person! Most GPs just check for your current issue or illness and fix that then that is that. But not Shivas! He keeps up with all of me! He remembers to to remind me and that …

  40. First I would like to say Dr.Kataoui and her nurse assistant Ms.Erica are two amazing women. My first time in the office they BOTH made me feel so comfortable. I made a last min appt with them for a EKG & Physical and they was able to take …

  41. Really great physicians, did not keep me waiting for long and helped me save money during my diagnosis due to me being self-pay. My provider Wahiba Kataoui was really nice and proffessional and made me feel taken care off.

  42. I’ve never left a review before…of anything. Yet, the wonderful care I’ve received this year through Avance Care, and specifically Practioner Shivas Gilotras, has been so exceptional that I felt the need to leave a review. High marks for kindness, compassion, and professionalism!

  43. This place is amazing. This was my first doctors visit and physical in 10 years and they made me feel very comfortable coming in. I am extremely nervous going to the doctor for anything but the entire staff made me feel like they really …

  44. Ive been seeing Carinne for a while now, she has always been great and super sweet. She listens to me when I have concerns and has always been there to help when I needed it. Other staff (MAs and PCs) have been great as well.

  45. I have always had such great care at Avance – Central Raleigh. I have recommended this office to many of my friends, some who now use Avance as their primary doctor’s office.

  46. I’ve been going to this advance care for a few years now. It’s always easy to get an appointment, everyone from the front desk to the nurses are a super friendly, and the PA I see, Carinne Woodworth, is amazing.

  47. All staff were friendly and helpful. Dr. Brayboy focused on my symptoms and came up with a plan to solve the issue. He is unfailingly gentle and kind.

  48. Dr. Fruth provides the greatest care. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and has a delightful personality. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. We’ve found our forever clinic and doctor!

  49. I recently switched to Avance Care after going to a well established Raleigh-based family practitioner for many years. Specifically, I chose the Cameron Village location as it is relatively close to where I live and work. Choosing a …

  50. I visited avance for my first time. The staff was very attentive and professional. Erika helped me get settled and listened to my issues, explaining options for a solution. Ms. Kataoui was very helpful and made me feel comfortable the entire visit. Will definitely visit again for any future needs

  51. I have been going to this location for years and always have such a great experience with every provider I see! I really appreciate the time and care shown to me as a patient, especially by Megan and Dr. Fruth. The hours and availability of appointments are also great.

  52. Incompetent.. they woman I saw wasn’t trying to listen to me about what’s going on with my own body…scheduled appointment to be seen for 10 minutes and told oh well I want to do this so you’ll have to make 2 more appointments!!!???!!?? …

  53. Great team – Darius at the front desk is always kind and helpful, and Meghan Presnell is one of the best practitioners I’ve ever seen. She has a very holistic and realistic approach to medicine, and truly gets to know her patients.

  54. This place does in-necessary lab tests in house like urine samples and charges you for them knowing the insurance company does not cover them. I get you want to do yearly testing, but if you tested me in October, how is it I need to be …

  55. I had my sons physical done at Avance care. The Doctor insisted on my son receiving shots that were not needed. I told him no twice but the third time I gave in and my son received two shots. Upon leaving I paid the fee for the physical and …

  56. Made a new-patient appointment online at noon for 3:30pm that same day. Filled out all necessary forms online beforehand. After my appointment and sinus infection diagnosis, I was able to get my necessary Rx from the pharmacy in the …

  57. Dr. Brayboy is not just the nicest doctor I’ve ever, met he’s one of the nicest people I have ever met, too. I really appreciate the level of service and professionalism matched with Dr. Brayboy’s easy going demeanor. I’m hesitant to …

  58. This office has great hours and it is easy and convenient to make an appointment. The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful and the nurses and Dr. Fruth (this is the doctor I see) make going to the doctor such a nice, enjoyable experience. This is the best doctor’s office I’ve ever been to, and I highly recommend it!

  59. I can’t be more pleased with the professional and personal care that I’ve received at the Oberlin office with my Doctor, Nutritionists, and Behavior Wellness caregivers. They listen, understand, and then act to assist you! I feel as though …

  60. I had a great experience. I was sick as a dog and they got me in and out with my prescription in 30 min. When I had a question about my prescription the next day I called their help line and a real nurse picked up immediately to provide the answer. I will definitely go back, it was a great experience under the circumstances.

  61. Everyone I came in contact with were gracious and professional. The nurse was personable and understanding, very kind hearted. They were able to get me in first thing and their online pre-appointment paperwork was a snap to use. Dr. Brayboy …

  62. Incorrectly billed my insurance for services here and then charged me the late fees when they finally figured out how to do it correctly. Also had to wait an hour for said service. Do not recommend.

  63. My wife visited for an issue, and the doctor & staff were very nice. The facility was great as well. They gave a solid diagnosis and suggested a treatment plan, but they were supposed to follow up with her and failed to do so. Though we …

  64. I am so lucky this office opened in my neighborhood. The location is great and accessible (right in Cameron Village) with weekend and late hours on weekdays. Everyone in the office was incredibly professional. Dr. Fruth has a great sense …

  65. I was in town visiting my aunt and needed a medical professional to check me for something unexpected. From the front desk to the patient room, the staff was kind, professional, and quick with attention to every detail. Ericka and FNP Kataoui were great! Definitely recommend this place to any and everyone!

  66. Absolutely WONDERFUL clinic with caring, supportive, knowledgeable staff. I have a chronic illness, so I see doctors far more than I’d like, and if every clinic were half as kind and considerate as Avance, no one would ever complain about …

  67. I had a visit with Dr. Brayboy today for a ear infection and him and the medical assistant was very nice to me. I felt cared for the moment I walked in the back office. The medical assistant offered me water while I waited and checked on me …

  68. I love this place! My first primary since leaving Philadelphia! First of all the staff is always on point! And friendly. NP Shivas has the best sense of humor (which if you know me you know I need that!). He explains everything, refers you …

  69. This place has been great. I have been coming here for 4 years now and each time I have had a great experience. I have had multiple injuries which have all been taking care of. They are quick and care a lot about your health. They even have televisits for patients who do not feel comfortable coming in.

  70. Absolutely recommend Avance Primary and Family Nurse Practitioner- Shivas Gilotra. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but has excellent interpersonal skills. Through all of the craziness this year has brought, he is a calming voice and is direct with treatment plan and results. He and his team absolutely give high quality care.

  71. As a primary patient of Dr. Fruth, I was told the other day when Scheduling a physical she has taken an administrative position during Covid. Since I love Dr. Fruth, I was a little worried about a new experience with a different physician. …

  72. This office is amazing. All of the staff are so kind and helpful and everything is done quickly and proficiently here. Dr. Shivas is a saint and legitimately cares about his patients. Just a refreshing experience. 10/10 would do again

  73. This is Cornell’s wife, Robin Allen. First, I will say I have severe doctor anxiety. Dr. Jacob Brayboy was the kindest, gentlest soul I have ever had the pleasure to meet. This doctor understood my anxiety, never made it worse, and it …

  74. Excellent experience at Avance with Shivas. Professional and playful staff who don’t make visiting the doctor a drag. Very flexible in terms of appointment times. Hard to beat and I’d recommend them to anyone.

  75. Dr. Brayboy and his assistant are very kind and great listeners. I was seen promptly and did not feel rushed during my appointment. The only negative part of my experience was the front desk staff. The woman checking me in was not friendly nor welcoming.

  76. Since first going to Avance Central Raleigh a few years ago, my experience has been nothing short of amazing. I first went to Dr. Fruth, but because she was unavailable for my recent visit, I went to Dr. Afonso. Both Doctor’s have really listened to what my concerns were, and provided me with guidance and care to improve my health.

  77. Been seeing them for 1.5 years now. Every appointment I have an issue with them with something. I was once 3 mins late and was waiting in line to check in and they told me they couldnt see me because I was late. My doctor once told me she …

  78. I’m not the type to leave reviews but felt Avance deserves it for several reasons. First, the fees are very reasonable for those who need/want to pay out of pocket. Second, I was done within 90 minutes from when I arrived, which included …

  79. I’ve been with Advance Care for almost a year. Coming from a small town physicians office I imagined it would be a culture shock switching. Advance Care couldn’t be farther from the truth. I couldn’t be happier with Dr Shivas & staff. If you’re searching for a physician who takes the time and genuinely cares I highly recommend.

  80. This was my first time at Avance Primary Care. It was a great experience. The staff was so efficient and caring. I loved Karrine Woodworth PA. I felt she was very knowledgeable and understanding. I will definitely go back.

  81. Wonderful place to go for my primary physician. Everyone is super nice and helpful and Dr. Brayboy is the best!! I feel like they actually want your business here, not like other offices where it’s an inconvenience for them to talk on the phone or refill your prescription.. My favorite doctor to go to when I need to.

  82. I have only had good experience with Avance Care until today. I had Shivas Gilotra, NP and it was terrible. I gave a urine sample and it turns out that it was tainted, with I think was blood. He asked me what color it was. Well, is it not …

  83. Injured my foot this February and after a few weeks of still being in pain decided to get an xray in March to make sure everything was ok. Got an xray, doc said it was all fine and printed off diagnosis papers from the internet (I could …

  84. I went to this location for my first time on Monday and was seen by Dr. Presnell. She spent time talking to me about my concerns and seemed to be very concerned and caring. I really appreciate the help she is giving to me. She seems to be …

  85. The care I have received at Avance Primary Care on Oberlin Road is better than any other doctor’s office I have used. Unfortunately, I have complex medical medical issues and must see many different doctors at many different medical …

  86. I have been a patient at Avance care for more than 3 yrs now. Had a 4pm physical appointment today and was running late. Called them ahead and said I will reach by 4:05 (that was the ETA on my GPS) and they were okay with it. I reached the …

  87. This place is amazing. Every single person from the front desk to the nurses to the doctor (I saw Dr. Fruth) to the checkout associate was kind, thorough, genuine and went above and beyond. The space is super clean and they even play …

  88. I will be 52 in about three weeks, so I figured it was about time to find me a primary care doctor and do some check ups. I found this place online and have not been more satisfied with the help I have received. Dr. Fruth and everyone from …

  89. Wahiba Kartaoui and her team are wonderful. She is considerate and easy to talk to, and made me feel very comfortable, which is not always easy in a healthcare setting. She and her medical assistant were also more than happy to help when I ran into a refill issue. Great practice!

  90. This was a completely different experience than my previous doctor. In a good way! My old doctors office only open until 4:30 2 days a week and then until 2 or noon on other day and never open on the weekend. In addition to being more …

  91. Update 2/25/2019:
    I hurt my back over the weekend and made an appt online at around 7AM with Kyle Grey for 7:30AM . I was really happy to actually get a last minute appointment …

  92. The front desk, doctors, nurses, & PAs are always great but the woman who drew my blood was TERRIBLE and it’s not because of a mistake because that happens sometimes. Her being unprofessional and uncaring are why I say that! (I’m large, my …

  93. SO helpful! I have an ED and my provider and all the staff were super accommodating, kind, and understanding. I felt really safe during my visit. I am so appreciative and definitely recommend Avance!!!

  94. Horrible canceled my appointment within and hour prior no call or anything. Cannot reach anyone on the phone. Later Jessica called and helped me with my appointment. The online portal is hard to navigate for telehealth and new clients. Over not a bad experience

  95. Been going here for over two years and the doctors and staff have been great. Able to make timely appts. Can see all my test results thru their app. Good insurance coverage and referrals. They administer B12 injections. Only minus is that …

  96. This was a great experience. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My wait time was minimal. All the problems that I needed to address were taken care of.
    Hilary Karabin NP was excellent. She address my problems and treated me …

  97. I highly recommend this location for establishing a primary care doctor or just to see a caring doctor for something going on in your life.
    I am always anxious about doctors visits. Since I was little, I’ve just never …

  98. EDIT: They contacted me and resolved all my complaints. There was a misunderstanding concerning the blood test as they had sent me a message through my portal, which I didn’t check. Overall good customer service. …

  99. I had to schedule a doctors visit because of a painful back issue that was going on for over a week. I was in a lot of pain and needed to see a doctor quick. This was not my normal Primary care provider but I wanted to get in quick and they …

  100. The staff and provider were pleasant and helpful. Check in is super efficient and you can fill your forms out online before you arrive. I was given a referral to a specialist in days which is impressive coming from someone who has been a referral coordinator. Overall I highly recommend this practice!

  101. Horrible experience. Lack of cleanliness during Covid is a huge concern, nurse practitioner was condescending and rude, threatened to not refill my normal prescriptions because I hadn’t gotten my annual physical this year (I’m a healthy 36 …

  102. I have nothing but positive things to say about Avance Care. Every time I go either for being sick or for just a regular yearly checkup, I have been made to feel very comfortable. Dr. Fruth is incredibly kind and she really went out of her …

  103. I am really glad I found a primary care Dr. At Avance Care. The staff is friendy and accomodating. The office is clean and modern and never overcrowded with patients. Dr. Shivas Gilotra is amazingly! He takes the time to listen to my every ailment or concern and I appreciate that. He actually thinks he is funny, lol. He is the best!

  104. You simply cannot find a more caring, attentive group of medical professionals than Susie Catchings and the staff at Avance Care in Cary. I have been with this practice for years. Their dedication to patients is unmatched; it honestly …

  105. I’ve been coming here for about 4-5 years – as long as they’ve been open. I initially saw Dr. Fruth and loved having her as my primary care provider. Since she is no longer seeing patients I have been moved to Wahiba and couldn’t be …

  106. I am happy to write a review for APC. I love this place and the whole concept of a “Medical Home”. Good Primary Care, quick appointments, after-work hours, office hours 7 days a week. They can also do x-rays and lab work on site. Good referral system when needed,

  107. G. Shivas, FNP has been my PCP for about 2 years. He is very attentive & has a great personality. I like the quick appointment times & online portal. Highly recommend this facility!

  108. I don’t see my review I done for Avance Care Central Raleigh, so here it is again. Carinne Woodworth is my doctor, she has been for years now. When she went with Avance Care I went also. She is dedicated, smart, really puts her heart in it. …

  109. My experience with the staff at Avance Care Central Raleigh was truly pleasant. Wahiba Kataoui, FNP-C and Ericka provided world class patient care. They both gave me the nostalgic feel of what I remember how health providers used to be. Caring, engaging and sincerely wanting the patient to be at their optimal level of health.

  110. Great doc office! I have followed Carinne Woodworth as my provider for a few years. I was excited to find her here! She is amazing, takes time with her patients, doesn’t rush through appointments, and genuinely cares for your well-being! This office is convenient and has wonderful staff!

  111. I’ve been with Avance on Oberlin for a few years now and I’ve loved working with all their staff. Friendly, helpful, and when COVID hit, their telehealth appointments became very helpful. I highly recommend.

  112. Dr brayboy and dr Hauschild are tremendous, as well as front desk staff. Very happy, long term patient. Among best doctors I’ve ever had (front staff too, although appointment game can be upped a little bit)

  113. Dr. Fruth is a wonderful doctor. I am relatively new to the area, and she consistently takes the time to listen to my concerns and asks insightful questions about my history to provide the best care. She is extremely intelligent and caring. …

  114. This has to be the Best and most caring doctors office . I have ever been to. My Wife and I moved to NC from VA. She has health issues and our orginal insurance was not accepted at Avance , most other doctor offices and the headache would …

  115. I’ve been coming to Avance care for several months now. I have had mostly positive experiences so I’d rather expand on those than some of the minor negative experiences I’ve had in my time at this Clinic. I work with Dr. Brayboy and Dr. …

  116. I have been going to Avance Primary Care for a month now. I was always skeptical about primary care due to my weight and I was self-conscious about it. The NP I saw treated me like a person, not a ‘fat person’, but a person who happens to …

  117. Had my new patient appointment at Avance Care last week. Everyone in the office was very helpful and efficient. Dr. Fruth was great and very thorough. It was rare to have a physician sit and talk with you for 30 minutes during an appointment, and I appreciated her attention to detail. Overall a wonderful experience.

  118. I was referred to Avance Care after relocating to the Raleigh area and asking around for a new Primary Care Physician. The office staff and in-house pharmacy staff have gone out of their way to be accomadating and offer high-quality …

  119. The staff at the Avance Care office on Oberlin Road in Raleigh, NC are always professional and polite. This is the case online, on the telephone, and in-person. The front desk staff are exceptionally pleasant and prompt in their …

  121. I spent years of my life suffering from chronic pain because of my anxiety. Dr. Carinne Woodworth took my concerns seriously. She didn’t just prescribe me muscle relaxers and send me on my way like previous experiences I’ve had. After …

  122. Although it is sometimes hard to get in contact w/ the front desk or medical assistant, I have been happy w/ my visits and contact w/ Avance Care. I have been in person and telehealth appointments and would recommend to family and friends.

  123. My family was seeking a new primary care physician because our physician of 20+ years is retiring. We tried Avance (K’dale) in January on a frigid Saturday morning when my daughter complained of flu-like symptoms. After this visit which …

  124. I had a virtual visit with the doctor who suggested I come in and see her and get an EKG and chest Xray from COVID 19 complications. Once there, I never saw/spoke to a doctor just got the tests and left. I was told I’d get an answer by the …

  125. I’ve been with Avance Care since I moved to NC a year ago. I have loved each of my care providers, including my current PCP, Shivas Gilotra, FNP. Prompt, professional service every time I visit, from the reception staff to the care team to …

  126. I have been coming here for over 4 years now and I have loved my experience each time. Ample parking, which I was surprised given their location. Dr. Woodworth is my provider and I just adore her. Super easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, …

  127. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT ACTUAL CARE. They will rarely if ever pick up the phone. I have a severely herniated disc, which was misdiagnosed by them, then once I got so bad, had an mri, and multiple days went by after they got my …

  128. Rude, unattentive staff that would rather have conversations amongst themselves instead of helping patients and answering questions. I was told my last appointment, my blood work, etc would be covered by my insurance and now I have a $280 …

  131. From scheduling my appointment to having my appointment they were all really nice, professional and efficient. I called and was able to get an appointment scheduled the next day! I went today for my appointment and the nurse, Erika and the …

  132. Very Professional Staff…Great customer service..Didn’t have to wait for the Doctor he was on time for the appointment.. Dr.Brayboy was easy to establish a rappor with and very understanding during the visit and makes his patients feel comfortable.

  133. Would highly recommend Avance. My family and I use the Garner location. Always happy with the care we receive! Lyndsay Palmeri is truly the best! Takes the time in listening to my concerns, and also in addressing issues!

  134. Avance Care Central Raleigh is hands down the best practice I’ve ever worked with. The staff, the convenience, the providers — all are terrific. I most frequently see Therese Phelan, FNP-C, and she is absolutely wonderful–so easy to …

  135. Excellent experience at Avance. I switched to Avance because my primary care provider never had time for me and it took too long to get an appointment. Avance scheduled me quickly and everyone I interacted with was professional and focused …

  136. Going to the doctor is always anxiety-producing for me, but the staff at this location are nothing short of superb. I have been seeing PA Carrine Woodworth for about a year at this location. She is AMAZING!! She always takes her time to …

  137. Many of the people I deal with at Avance Care-Oberlin are nice overall, the front desk is cool, fast, and friendly, and the wait times are not long (bet I know why). But my CARE is more my concern. Avance care books patients too close …

  138. I recently had a medical issue thst required immediate attention. The staff at Avance got me in quickly and treated me with such care and respect during the episode. I truly cannot thank them enough for their care, respect and compassion. …

  139. Excellent overall. The scheduling was quick and convenient. The online portal was easy to navigate and informative. The doctor and assistants were hospitable, thoughtful, kind and efficient. I was in and out for labs and my physical in …

  140. It is super easy to schedule a appointment with Mrs. Carinne Woodworth, PA. She is so knowledgeable and compassionate and easy to get along with. She answers all my questions when I see her, and she never makes me feel rushed. The …

  141. I am so happy with the care I have received since establishing as a patient earlier this year. You can communicate with the office and your doctor with ease, and appointment times are very flexible. I can’t say enough about how wonderful …

  142. I really like Avance Care and particularly Dr. Shivas. He is so caring and helpful. He’s very funny too which is nice to help break up conversations. He listens and makes good recommendations. The staff are great too! I love how easy it …

  143. Avance Primary Care is hands down the best Dr.’s office in Raleigh! I always have an amazing experience here. Carinne Woodworth is my primary physician and is both knowledgeable and understanding. The staff is incredibly attentive and my …

  144. I really like this office. Dr. Brayboy is one of the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. He is extremely compassionate and calm and is a great listener. No matter what issue I’ve gone in for, he’s always been very helpful. The …

  145. I have been an all around calmer and healthier person since switching to this practice. The doctors are kind and intuitive to their patients needs. Dr. Woodworth and Kartaoui are just the best doctors I have ever had. I feel SO grateful to have found Avance Care Central Raleigh!!!!

  146. Outstanding medical office in every way. I came to Raleigh looking for a primary care physician. I called many doctors but was told they were not taking new patients. I was calling primary care offices as far as 30 miles away. Eventually, I …

  147. I really appreciate the providers and staff. It feels like a family when I communicate with staff or attend my appointments in the office . Their care and monitoring of my healthcare has been exceptional and very thorough. I am grateful to …

  148. Drive up testing…took them 30 minutes because the tests were “giving them fits”. Had to call several times (10 total) to have some one come out to administer the tests. Informed me they hated these tests when administrating them. Had to …

  149. The Health professionals are excellent, generally. HOWEVER, the staff, over the past 5 years are a joke. As a group (it’s never been just one specific individual), the staff is consistantly belligerent, ignorant, rude, and unhelpful. 70% of …

  150. I can never say enough about the level of care this Avance office always provides, and would recommend any doctor here in a heartbeat. They’ve helped my husband and I in all areas of our health, through big and small situations, and …

  151. I have been going to Avance Care for a couple of years now. If you want to be treated right this the place to go. I have the greatest doctor in the world Dr.Brayboy! My doctor listens to me and that’s everything!!!

  152. Recently moved up here and found Avance Care. Shivas is awesome! Takes the time to listen to my concerns. Never feel rushed. The staff is super friendly. Had an issue with getting my records from my old office, and they stayed on top of …

  153. The Doctors,physician assistant, medical assistant, certified nursing assistant did a good job given a wholesome and complete patient care. This is a modern health facility for your health needs.

  154. I had such a great experience here! I recently moved to Raleigh and this was my first time here. Every single person who answered the phone was so friendly and informative! Everything is so simple and paperwork can be done online. I had a …

  155. I really love Carrine & I think she’s a very knowledgeable physician, she’s one of the few medical professionals that has listened to me when I told her I felt something was wrong. That’s why I’m so disappointed in my experience with …

  156. I love this doctor office!!! everything about it is super convenient and professional. I have been seeing Carinne for over a year now and have never been more happy with a provider. She is never in a rush, is extremely knowledgeable, and is …

  157. Ive been going to Avance Primary Care (Central Raleigh) for 6 years now and have nothing but great things to say. They are organized, communicative with scheduling (initial emails and reminders), easy electronic forms to be filled out when …

  158. Dr Brayboy is a wonderful doctor. I appreciate that he takes the time to listen to you and works with you on treatments. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met… and the rest of their staff is great as well. They have a discount program …

  159. This probably speaks to the broader issue of US healthcare, but I wish going to the doctor didn’t feel like a scam ($100 for a doctor to place a stethoscope on you for 20 seconds), and refusing to renew my prescription for anti-depressants after warning me not to miss a dose. Prozac is not a party drug, people.

  160. TL;DR – Go here if you want providers and front desk that are genuinely invested in the well being of each and every one of their patients
    ————————————————- …

  161. Two stars only because we love Dr. delbono. However I have found the staff to be unresponsive, and even evasive of calls and/or messages through their portal. Trying to get in touch with an office manager? Press 4 and you’ll be directed to …

  162. Dr. Brayboy is a fantastic family physician. He has a great bedside manner and is personable, caring, thorough, and conscientious. I highly recommend him because he has taken very good care of me, my wife, and brother for several years. …

  163. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced for medical care. Spent an hour filling out forms and logging onto their system, then they didn’t show up on their own teleconsultation and cancelled. …

  164. This past week, I had my first in-person appointment with Shivas Gilotra concerning my ADD. And wow!! What a nice, funny, attractive, humble, and professional human! He really seemed to care about my current mental health. And he actually …

  165. Carrine is the best primary doctor I have ever had! She listens to my health concerns and she is very caring. She has never brushed me off or made me feel my appointment was rushed. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a …

  166. I first went to this office a year ago for a standard check up with Corrine. Everything went fine back then. However, about a month ago when I went to schedule my annual check up it seemed impossible to schedule any sort of appointment. I …

  167. I would not recommend this specific Avance Care. I started going there when they first opened. I have received great care from most of the providers I saw there, but it became impossible to get an appointment with my doctor any sooner than …

  168. I just had the most rushed physical of my life. The doctor was with me for 5 minutes. I mentioned I hadn’t been feeling well and that it might had something to do with my CO2 level being low, which came out in the blood panel that they do …

  169. Awful all the way around for me. Unprofessional, dismissive, unhelpful, and poor information. The doctor said I should take Benadryl NIGHTLY continuously for sleep issues when I have read so much saying that’s a bad thing to do. And my actual issues essentially went unheard and we’re dismissed.

  170. Honestly I only dealt with one woman at the front desk and I will not return because of her attitude. I just moved states, for the first time in my life. I was not familiar with the process of finding a new PCP. When I arrived, the woman …

  171. Horrible has gone down hill from when it first opened. It takes a bunch of phone calls to get the front deask. They don’t care about the Patience health. Drive up appointments are a joke. Not everyone that is sick has COVID-19. I recommend going to another Avance care.

  172. Lissa at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Lisa Fields is a great P.A. and she really cares about her patients. I have always had a great experience with the staff at this location over the last 3 years.

  173. I guess I am giving them one star because none is not an option. The saving grace of this practice is Dr. Maria Delbono, but other than that I can confidently say I have not have one positive experience with them. Online scheduling is …

  174. I didn’t like my experience here. I had a form that I needed to be filled for the dmv. And they couldn’t do it because they weren’t comfortable with it. Which is fine and obviously common sense. But instead they didn’t know me so I had to …

  175. Avance Care provides the worst experience I’ve ever had. I have been to multiple Avance Care locations and the experience is the same – no communication, no call backs, and turn around times for results is never what is expected. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Avance Care.

  176. I’ve been a customer of Avance Care for years. Carinne has been absolutely amazing and goes out of her way to ensure I’m taken care of. She’s always been there available to me any time I’ve had concerns or needed to contact her just with …

  177. If you are in need of a IUD removal or replacement, I highly recommend Dr. Delbano. She is Amazing! I had a bad experience years ago with getting my IUD placed somewhere else. My primary doctor recommended her and he was right. I went in …

  178. Attentive front staff make it easy to get appointments when convenient and if needed within a day or so. The Doctors, PA’s, and NP’s listen to concerns and offer helpful advice and treatments.

  179. Fast, friendly and efficient. What more can you want? I love the way Avance Care looks out for my overall well-being. Virtual appointments also make going to the doctor fast and easy!

  180. The service is really really bad. I got the appointment at 9:40, I have been filed out the form and the receptionist let me waiting 45min?? While I am the first patient check in. 5,6 patients behind me, but they are all done and left. While I am still waiting, no one care about it. I am not recommend the Avance Care. 👎👎👎👎👎 …

  181. I’m new to the Raleigh area but had a family member that lives here recommend this place when I was shopping around for GPs. I went in a month ago as a new patient with dizziness, lightheadedness, limb numbness and had almost fainted the …

  182. This is the worst doctors office in Raleigh. The office operates in their own world, setting up policies to maximize fees, order unnecessary tests, and cushion profits. …

  183. The Staff at Avance were extremely helpful and friendly. Lissa, Emma, Ashlyn, and Lindsay are the staff members that helped make my appointment a pleasurable experience. Thank you to them!

  184. Horrible service. I made an appointment online and was denied being seen in the office. I was told i can only do a curbside appointment. Ive been seen a few times at this location in the office never curbside. Im guessing the doctors at …

  185. Dr. Brayboy has been our primary care physician for several years. He’s incredibly caring and takes all the time I need to go over my medical questions. The rest of the staff are efficient and friendly as well.

  186. I went to seek treatment about some issues I’ve been having. They refused to tell me how much my coverage would cost, even an estimate. They have a huge new patient fee and charged me for an “Annual alcohol misuse screening” when I don’t …

  187. Not only was every person I interacted with at Avance care super kind and helpful, but the doctor was extremely knowledgeable, and there was so much appointment availability. I decided to make the Oberlin Road office my primary care provider, and it feels great!

  188. Avance has been incredible. My doctor is super helpful, I can usually get an appointment within the week, and I can request prescription refills online. Compared to my past doctor experiences, Avance has honestly been a breath of fresh air.

  189. Avance provides good care and has friendly staff and some excellent doctors. But don’t try calling. My experience is that most of the time they don’t answer the phone and they don’t return messages. On several occasions I have had a …

  190. Awesome experience! The office runs smoothly, everyone is professional and friendly. The medical assistant was so nice and I loved Dr. Delbono! I work in healthcare so I can spot someone that knows what the are doing and cares. My …

  191. Avance Care exceeded my expectations. I had a persistent, very itchy, fairly mild rash that wasn’t responding to over the counter treatment. I was able to get a same day appointment and everyone there was welcoming and friendly. The PA I …

  192. Out of all the doctors of ever been to as a grown up this is by far the best office yet. Dr brayboy is my main doctor and he goes above and beyond to make sure and be sure that you are 100% taken care of whether you realize you need it or …
