Raleigh Endocrine Associates

The star rating is for Dr. Joseph Rand.
I was referred to Raleigh Endocrine 4 years ago. My first doctor was good, then he left. I got moved to a new doctor, she was okay, she left. I was then moved to Dr. Rand. He was a bit of a cold fish on our first and only visit. A bit haughty. But I thought maybe it was just a bad first impression.
I had some refills for prescriptions from the previous doctor that came up 3 months after that visit, and he told 2 pharmacies (I have to use 2 for different things… insurance-​wise) that I wasn’t his patient. I know he did it personally, as support staff told me that he doesn’t trust his nurses to handle refills. After the pharmacies called me to tell me I’m not his patient, I called RE. They explained that since I had not come in in 3 months, which I suppose did not meet his expectation, he figured I had left for another doctor.
He did not investigate a lick, just flat out denied the refills. I have a condition that clearly needs certain medication that no one would dispute. I asked them to refill these one last time and I would seek another Doctor for future needs. He did not even do this.
His cavalier attitude toward patient health is unacceptable.

Dr. Weir came highly recommended and I heartily agree. She really listens and has taken time to get to know me. That, along with her ability to describe medical information and explain test results make my choices easier. She’s the «go to» endocrine-​focused doctor for me!

Dr. Weir’s nurse is very unresponsive and rude. On many occasions I have to contact her ⁵⁄₆ times to get my prescriptions refilled or to get answers to any questions I may have. Been here for 5 years + and never going again, though Dr. Weir herself is great.

Dr. Becker @ Raleigh Endocrine is the man!
He’s one of the best doctors around in North Carolina when it comes to endocrine medicine… Tough to get an appt at times, always have to schedule well in advance but if you want the best then you see Dr. Becker. Period. :)
