"This office is so unprofessional! They do not answer the phone when you call - EVER!!!... NC Eye and Ear was soooooo much better before they affiliated themselves with Duke."
— LocalityBiz user review"She fixed my excruciating pain, and by the end of the day, my pain level was at a one. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Yu. My experience was perfect."
— LocalityBiz user review"WARNING: If you purchase frames/lenses & return them you will pay a 25% restocking fee of the total sale price (before any insurance). At the time of purchase I asked what the return policy was and was told 90 days--no mention of the 25% restocking fee---very deceptive business practice."
