My 2 yr old had to see Dr Freedman as she needed surgery on her eyes. I chose Duke from a list of about 4 other providers in the NC area. My initial appt was the intake and history. She took the time to get to know my daughter and he likes and was very cheerful and gentle with her.. (my daughter was not happy about being there and was somewhat combative) Sharon dealt with this in a professional and loving manner and was very good with her. I felt that she sis not just jump in and say surgery off the bat... she tried all other remedies before recommending the operation. On the day of surgery. She met eith us in the waiting room to say good morning to my daughter and then in the triage room waiting to be taken back she came in again and was talking to her and letting us know what we could expect. I was able to take my daughter to the operating room where all the staff was VERY CARING.. they called the anestesia magic princess perfume!!! and talked to her at a level she understood. \r
After the surgery was done she personally came out to tell us our daughter did great. (I was a mess) the followup appt even went great. The waits are long to be seen I will say that but for the level of care and expertise and compassion towards especially kids I think this is second to none and that to me makes the wait worth it. the waiting room is full of toys for your child to play with so the wait doesnt seem to affect them that much.\r
I WOULD NOT TRUST ANYONE ELSE WITH MY CHILD EYES!!!!!!
Pros: Dr Freedman,
Cons: Long waits and somewhat rude staff
