Having experience over the years with Novant Health in the Winston Salem,NC area has recently got me pointed to no longer having any dealings with this organization or its affiliates.At Forsyth Medical Center in Winston Salem,NC I've personally known (2)individuals that have died due to negligence and/or "lack of care"/incompetance of the doctors/medical staff,this is factual,non opinionated information.So for me,as my intuition has always told me so accurate and true,I'm not ever,never going to Forsyth Medical Center ER,NOT EVER..Then I've had the experience with Novant Health,"Urology Baldwin" at 2010 Baldwin lane,Winston Salem,NC 336-277-1717,I PUT this info in detail to Forewarn anyone of this location and a Dr.Hudson and Dr.Smith at this location.Ive had a kidney stone in my lower right kidney for months,its given me pain off and on,sometimes bad..Well last Thursday 9/20/2018 I put a prescription refill request on MY CHART app,I heard nothing,nor notified.So Friday 9/21/2018 I called (336)277-1717(Novant Health Urology,"Baldwin",they call it.I made contact with someone there,to make a long story short,no relief was offered,but on my My Chart app.it shows that a Dr.Smith did one of the calls,meaning made contact with me(must mean by proxy,or office assistant/nurse)because I never spoke with a Dr...So I called again and spoke to another individual,nurse,RN,WHoever,does not matter.Part of my discussion was in reference to have the 6mm +size kidney stone removed from my lower right kidney,because its traveled out into the ureteral tube and caused issues before,instead I was told a "Dr.Hudson" advised,No further treatment would be done at this time,meaning leave the kidney stone in the lower right kidney,let it grow even more in size and eventually,absolutely require surgery for removal.This all derived to one core issue,especially with Novant Healthcare Systems,if you do not have insurance or look like a "prospect"for "them"(novant)to make money off of,then you are going to end up

In bad shape or worse...My personal advice,based upon personal experience and observations,Stay Away from anything attached to or directly related to Novant Health Systems,especially the Urologist's on Baldwin Lane in Winston Salem(oddly enough located 400 yards from the Hospice center,which we all know is the end result of not being properly treated by professionals that truly are in the medical profession to help others versus in that profession to drain all the financial resources of a individual...
