Duke Gastroenterology Clinic at Brier Creek

If you make a colonoscopy appointment here, make sure you CONFIRM that they will put you under anesthesia. I was not given a choice of twilight sedation or anesthesia and was only given the twilight that felt similar to IV laughing gas. I felt the entire procedure and keeped begging them to stop. Never again.

Went for an endoscopy after waiting 15 months and when I get there they won't do it just because I fainted. They refused to let me lay down and that caused me to faint again. They scheduled me a month later and they refused the endoscopy at this appointment too. I have severe chronic abdominal pain that never goes away and gets in the way of everyday life. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong but this place is making that take a lot longer

Appointment made in July 2021 for procedure (September 2021) and follow-up (November 2021). All were “1st available” due to ongoing and worsening undiagnosed condition. September procedure went well but pathology results (posted to my health app so I saw them) were never discussed by physician, advised to “keep follow up”. Took two weeks of messaging to get orders for imaging for what I read in my pathology results, with symptoms every day that seriously affect my quality of life. (Have lost 80lbs, unexplained.) Of course nothing showed on images. One business day prior to the November follow-up (scheduled in July 2021) I received a *message via health app* that my appointment must be rescheduled. I called back within an hour of receiving the message. Was offered an appointment for JANUARY 2022. By the grace of God I was able to schedule a video appointment for three weeks from now. I hope the clinic comes to understand this issue as I reached out for help but have not heard back. I have lost over 25% of my BMI and have been trying to get help but Duke GI at Brier Creek has treated me just the same as Cape Fear Valley, and that is really sad considering that Duke GI is so highly rated. I had high hopes, but have given up at this point. Instead of receiving medical care I am instead focusing on enjoying the time I have left. Thank you for reading.
