I’ve been going there15 years and always recommend this practice!

04/17/2023

I used to seek recurrent oncology care from UNC Rex doctors. Unfortunately, I was displeased with the way I was treated by them. I felt rushed, that the doctor was not really interested in my health concerns, and was insensitive to recurrent pains that I was experiencing. I contacted Dr. [], my former oncologist about who I might see in the future. At that time she was affiliated with Waverley Oncology and Hematology, and suggested I see her. I did and received orders of magnitude better care than I received at Rex. Her exams were very thorough and effective with diagnosing medical issues that the Rex doctor failed to investigate. When doctor [] left the Waverley practice due to her own medical issues, she made certain to set me up with others at Waverley to continue the same level of care. Recently Waverley merged with Wake Med. I'm very happy to report that I continue receiving a very high level of personal care and support from Wake Med staff and Ryan Collins

04/17/2023

Nice Building

04/11/2023

WakeMed Cancer Care-Waverly has always been there for me. I feel very at home there and I respect the whole clinic and especially Dr. Graham who I think is the greatest.

Ryan Collins was a real person and understands the journey that every patient is facing

03/20/2023

The staff did a great job coordinating appointments between Wake Radiology & Oncology appointments. 4 appointments were scheduled in 2 different days instead of 4 different days. This made things more convenient since we are 35 minutes away.
