Review of Wake Med North

I was pretty disappointed upon leaving this place....

I was pretty disappointed upon leaving this place. I came to WakeMed because fiberglass got in my eye and my eyelid was clearly infected. The doctor I saw was friendly, but simply brushed my concerns off and said there was nothing that could be done and sent me on my way with no treatment at all. As my eyelid's condition continued to worsen I decided I needed to see a specialist. The specialist I saw immediately said I needed to be on antibiotics and a steroid cream when he saw how infected my eyelid looked. He also mentioned that he has never seen the specific infection I had go away on it's own. Upon taking my antibiotics my eyelid started to reduce swelling rapidly and the pain went away. My eyelid is still healing, I just wish I would've gotten the medicine I needed after dropping so much money to come to Wake Med, instead of leaving with no answers or help. The front desk staff were very nice and friendly and I was seen quickly.
