Recently switched from UNC hospital in Chapel Hill...

Recently switched from UNC hospital in Chapel Hill to Duke, and have been very happy with all the new specialists we have seen at Duke relative to the quality and responsiveness of care compared to UNC. We switched all of our care from UNC, with specialties including:

Cardiology
Gastroenterology (Allergist said it was GI, GI said it was allergist - terrible care across dept)
Allergists (Allergist said it was GI, GI said it was allergist - terrible care across dept)
Immunologists
Dieticians
Craniofacial
Pediatric Surgery
Neurology
Genetics
Urology (Our urologist at UNC was good, Dr. Sutherland, he repaired an injury caused by Dr. Sang Lee from UNC pediatric surgery, if you need pediatric surgery, Duncan Philips at Wakemed is the preeminent surgeon in the triangle, we wish we would've taken the advice of other specialists when we realized we needed a pediatric surgeon - son born with imperforate anus. We did get a consult with Dr Philips, after the initial injury caused by Dr. Lee, but worried about switching institutions mid procedure)

Geneticist at Duke, Dr. Shashi, diagnosed in one visit what went diagnosed by UNC geneticists for 24 months. A rare genetic disorder, kabuki syndrome. Also, Duke offers full exome sequencing, not offered at UNC. I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. Shashi's ability to accomplish this given the rarity of the condition. Furthermore, Kelly Schoch a genetic counselor at Duke, quarterbacks all of my sons care with all of the various specialists at Duke, amazing systems in place at Duke so all of the different specialist are aware of his condition.

Contrasted with UNC, Duke physicians seem to read medical records prior to patient visits, and come to meetings ready to discuss elements specific to their patient and offer guidance and solutions relative to their patients specific condition. This is not the case at UNC, and all visits seemed haphazard and failed to meet even the basic needs of the patient - in short terrible quality of care.

Duke University Medical has been a positive experience after a fairly turbulent first two years of life.
