Most reviews, however, were not specific to the hospital's psychiatry department. On Google, 19 reviewers (all but one of whom was an alum) contributed to an average rating of 2.5 out of five stars.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> </p> <p>Positive reviews tended to focus on the quality of care and the staff. Negative reviews, in contrast, often focused on poor care and long wait times. Stanley wrote in a representative review that, "it is a 4 to 8 hour wait. Come on! Duke you can do better than that. People are sick and want to be seen by a Doctor." Reviews were slightly more positive on Yelp, where the hospital received an average rating of 3.3 stars based on 17 reviews.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The two loved ones who responded to a Rehabs.com poll to date both gave reviews that were mostly positive. Both loved ones gave four out of five-star ratings for Duke Regional Hospital’s experienced staff, treatment for co-occurring conditions, accommodations, <a href="https://www.recovery.org/forums/discussion/7265/what-is-holistic-treatment-and-how-can-it-help" target="_blank">holistic programming</a>, and cleanliness. One loved one, who would recommend the facility, wrote that it was a “good experience” and that “you have to be committed for program to work.” The other anonymous loved one commented: “Great one on one counseling.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Though Rehabs.com has not yet surveyed any staff members, Duke Regional Hospital received <strong>mostly favorable reviews</strong> on Indeed from 65 current or former employees.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> However, it should be noted that most reviews were not specific to the psychiatry department.</p> <p>Reviewers that commented on aspects of the hospital directly related to patient experience tended to focus on the quality of care and connectedness between staff, patients, and families. "A great work atmosphere between the doctors and the nurses involve family members and patients in their overall care," one anonymous former employee wrote in a representative review.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Duke Regional Hospital accepts most major health insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Humana. Financial assistance is available to those who qualify.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p>The <a href="https://www.hrc.org/blog/in-the-wake-of-hb2-north-carolina-hospitals-put-patients-over-politics" target="_blank">Human Rights Campaign</a> named the Duke Regional Hospital a “Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality” in 2017.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=duke+regional+hospital&oq=duke+regional+hospital&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j0l2.4399j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89ace3ba2be5002f:0x1f2f1fe08ca69bd8,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/duke-regional-hospital-durham" target="_blank">Yelp</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Duke-Regional-Hospital/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Duke-Regional-Hospital/reviews</a></small></p>
