4/26/2023 PT staff was also excellent, caring and polite. I would also highly recommend the PT staff to friends and family.

4/25/2023 Intake assistant. He was organized and knowledgeable within the scope of his roll

4/22/2023 staff is great

4/20/2023 The whole experience. Post Covid, customer /professional services are lacking. Wake Med Ortho is the exception.

4/20/2023 Dr. Chapelle performed on my left shoulder, I came in for an evaluated and opinion and realized after giving the PA my shoulder history that replacement rather than another extended PT program was probably the likely outcome. Dr C went over all the options and the concerns about waiting until the joint totally failed. He was informative and not “pushy” for replacement. Common sense said do it. Laura, his assistant did an outstanding job rescheduling me. He was also very thorough during the pre op session the day of the surgery and gave my wife all the info she needed in post op. I am 7 weeks into it and my WakeMed PT lady says that I am further along in my rehab than anyone she has treated or assisted in her 30 years of being a PT. Dr. C gets a lot of credit as does my PT team and my dedication to doing my PT. His only fault is being a UNC fan….but I still went with him.
