"You will be forced to wait hours between seeing one person and the next so that what should take less than an hour will result in your being forced to be here four to eight hours every time you have to come to this place."
— LocalityBiz Review"My experiences with Dr. Boehlke and the staff at Duke Raleigh have been exceptional. Yes, at times I've had to wait more than I'd like however I also appreciate that whenever I have a problem they squeeze me in... The care from Dr. Boehlke is well-worth the wait."
