The doctor that I saw was dismissive of my symptoms (in a kind way) can’t really say he was rude. But he basically told me everything was in my head and asked if I had any hobbies. I was there because my PCP suspected I had MS, this provider said my exam was normal. (Which it’s not I’m weak on my right side and have multiple other doctors visits from different Drs documenting this.) and that my MRIs were all normal. Said it’s not MS, is probably some other autoimmune disease- which I had already been worked up for (if he would have bothered to look). Anyway 2 weeks later I’m hospitalized for 5 days at my local hospital for optic neuritis, and the neurology team there finds something on my MRI (that this Dr said was normal) so they repeat it and wouldn’t you know there is some sort of lesio

My experiences at this clinic have only been disappointing. Not only do appointments regularly start late, the appointments themselves are generally extremely unhelpful in understanding my disease and getting help. Every appointment consists of the doctor asking me what questions I have and then scoffing at my questions. The doctor does not try to explain my symptoms or my MRIs. There are zero bedside manners or respect for the patients’ time or emotional well-being. Additionally, my doctor has had me take numerous tests with no follow-up. Every time I have taken a blood test with negative outcomes, there is no response from the doctor or guidance on how to interpret my results. Finally, the staff are extremely unorganized and unhelpful in answering questions about billing and scheduling.

Being a patient of Duke has been pretty bad over the past few year but Duke Neurology makes it a particularly terrible experience. Not only do you have to wait months for an appointment, but when you finally get one, you will be scheduled with a brand new resident who doesn't have any experience with your condition. There is such much back and forth as they run back and forth to the attending, leaving you in the room alone for 15-40 mins at a time. The coordination fo care is horrible - waiting weeks for prescriptions and prior authorizations. The doctor is nice, and I think eventually she will be able to help me - but I have to take a majority of the care into my own hands and keeping reminding them to submit referrals and prior authorizations because there is no follow through on an

I had a visit with Dr. Richardson at Duke spine and his Carly. They were so knowledgeable of what I really needed. Also, the nurse was so sweet and kind to me. I recommend this office to anyone that they are in need of a spine surgery.

What to expect at a sleep study appointment
For an in-lab study, you arrive in the evening and sleep in a private room while sensors record breathing, oxygen, heart rhythm and body movement. For a home sleep test, the clinic gives you a portable kit you use in your own bed. Neither test is painful. Results are usually compiled into a physician report within one to two weeks, and the clinic then discusses whether treatment — such as CPAP therapy or an oral appliance — is needed.
Preparation basics: avoid caffeine in the afternoon, skip lotions and hair products, bring comfortable sleepwear, and take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Frequently asked questions about Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic 1L
What does Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic 1L do?
Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic 1L is a sleep medicine clinic in Durham, NC that evaluates and treats sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy. Evaluation usually involves a sleep study, and treatment may include CPAP therapy, an oral appliance, or behavioral therapy depending on the diagnosis.
Do I need a referral to book a sleep study at Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic 1L?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic 1L directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic 1L?
Sleep study costs vary widely with the type of test, your insurance plan and your deductible. Home sleep tests generally cost less than in-lab studies. Ask the clinic for an itemized estimate and check with your insurer about in-network rates before booking.
Does insurance cover sleep studies and CPAP treatment?
Most US insurers, including Medicare, cover sleep studies and CPAP therapy when they are medically necessary and properly documented. Coverage details — deductibles, co-pays and supply replacement schedules — differ by plan, so verify with your insurer and the clinic.
How long does it take to get sleep study results?
Typically one to two weeks. A sleep physician reviews the recorded data and writes a report, after which the clinic discusses the findings and any recommended treatment with you.
Can I do the sleep study at home?
Possibly. Home sleep apnea tests suit many adults with a high likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea and no major heart or lung conditions. If your symptoms are complex or the home test is negative despite strong symptoms, an in-lab study is usually the next step. The clinic can determine which option fits you.
What should I bring to my appointment at Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic 1L?
Comfortable sleepwear, your photo ID and insurance card, a list of current medications, and your own pillow if that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine after midday and skip lotions or hair products, because sensors attach better to clean skin.
