This doctor's office is absolutely horrible. The office staff is unfriendly and unprofessional. I transferred in the middle of my pregnancy, and they asked me all sorts of personal questions right in front of another patient! The bathroom is filthy and at one appointment there was a used speculum in an open trash can, right beside the table that I had to sit on in the exam room! They try to make you have a TB test (a PPD), and when I refused they told me I had to have a chest x-ray! I'm pregnant! How safe is that? Dr. Tahtawi was very nice at our first visit (which is the only reason we returned), but when I tried to refuse the TB test and chest x-ray, she turned off that nice demeanor very quickly. Dr. Clayton seemed quite unprofessional and told me not to drink milk or juice while I was pregnant to avoid gaining too much weight. The people in the lab were unable to read my previous charts (they are completely clear), or understand when I tried to tell them which tests I had already had. They repeated several tests and I was charged for them. It is impossible to actually talk to a person on the phone to get your issues resolved. Do not use this practice. They have made my pregnancy unnecessarily stressful. I would certainly not trust them to deliver my baby.\r
I did not see Dr. Flanagan, and she is supposedly the best doctor. However, I cannot imagine returning to this practice for any reason, even if she is the best doctor in the Raleigh area. It is not worth putting up with the filth and the unprofessional staff.
Pros: short wait time (usually)
Cons: unprofessional staff and doctors, dirty office
