Spine Centers (Raleigh: rated, nursing, top)

[orfeu]

Hi all,

Does anyone have experience with the Duke Spine Center, UNC Spine Center or Triangle Orthopedics?

Did you find any of the above to be very good? Should any of them be avoided?

Thanks!

I have used, and am using, Triangle Orthopediacs. I think they are terrific and have many excellent doctors and practitioners, as well as a great facility. They also use the NC Specialty Hospital for surgeries/procedures, which is a top rated hospital.
I also went to Duke Pain Management which I felt was terrible.
But, the question is, what issues do you need to have looked at? I can also recommend some great Spine Forums if you need, just send me a message.

Our adult daughter had serious spine surgery from Dr. Lestini at Duke Raleigh.

He was great and even prayed before the procedure began.

Nursing staff at night was the only issue. Not good on doing meds on time.
