My experience with the staff in the ideology building was a very negative atmosphere. They were cold and very robotish. The staff didn't seem to care about you especially the chick in staff. Lastly I thought this was America. The FDA has stated that Masks are NO LONGER REQUIRED. All of the other Wilmington Health Practices that I have been to, do NOT require masks. This is a business that is supposed to have science and medicine behind their practice, but this location refuses to follow science and even the FDA. I do not recommend this very rude and civil right ignoring practice. I have been a patient with Wilmington health for years and have never seen such a dis concerning staff.

Two different times I scheduled an appointment one for me and one for one of my kids on a certain time and date with a scheduler at Wilmington Health only to be sent a text message with a different time and/or date. Then to be told that the IT department in Wilmington put in the incorrect time/day that they sent to me thru texts and voice mails. And one of the appointments I was sent a paper that it was a no show and the other appointment I wasted an hour and half waiting to be called only for them to tell me that I was not on the schedule for the time and day that they texted me and called me for their appointment reminders.

I came 9 minutes late for my appointment and they refused to see me. I work a lot of hours and this is the most ridiculous service ever. But whenever I am here for my appointment I'm not seen till 30 minutes later. Seriously ridiculous.

I had an appt with Wilmington Health Cardiology in January. It was scheduled a year ago. They have changed it four times. When I called because the most recent change didn't work for me, I was offered an appt in August. I asked to see a different doctor in the practice, since I am an established patient, but was told I was only "allowed" to see a nurse practitioner, who would decide if I could see a doctor and, if I could, who it would be.
When I said I would make the appt with the nurse practitioner, but would look for another cardiologist in the meantime, the person I was speaking to said, "I'll just cancel your appt, " and hung up on me. I should have learned my lesson a year ago when they insisted I come in person to the office to pay my share of the bill one day before my scheduled EKG. I live an hour away, so i couldn't just pop in and take care of it. I didn't mind paying in advance, but I did mind the last minute notice and the threat to cancel the appt if I didn't do it. I liked my doctor fine, but the staff there is terrible.

Wilmington Health is an over rated joke. Some of the doctor and mid levels are great. Unfortunately the bad outweighs the good. My husband was on hold for 30 minutes. He was having breathing issues and was only trying to ask about a medication. These are just recent issues. The portal messages weren't being answered. He tried for days. I am in the process of looking elsewhere. I've left, my mother left, and many others I know of prior.
They give as much regard to their patients as they do their staff. I worked there for over 9 years. I was treated horribly for the last couple of years there. Thank God I left 4 years ago. They obviously became too big for their britches. It's more about money than quality patient care or patient advocacy.

I've had to come to this location 3 times now for very different things and each time, the wait has been minimal. Staff has been friendly. The nurses have been next level amazing.
