About Us

Overview

Our clinic is located off NC-54 less than a mile from I-40's Fayetteville Road interchange – convenient to families in Durham and Chapel Hill, as well as greater Durham and Orange counties. We provide personalized care in a comfortable environment.

Preparing For Your Visit

Preparing for Your Visit Overview

Sick children can usually be seen on the same day. Physical exams must be scheduled in advance. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time to complete the necessary forms.

Late Policy
We value your time and work hard to keep our clinic running on time as well. Out of respect for all our patients and our timely care of your child, if you arrive 10 minutes past your scheduled appointment time you may be asked to reschedule to the next available appointment. Courtesy phone calls are also greatly appreciated.

Vaccine Position Statement
Please review our vaccine position statement (PDF, 74KB) to ensure this pediatric practice is right for you. It is the position of Duke Primary Care to vaccinate all its patient population, as many families are legitimately concerned that unvaccinated persons put their families at risk.  If you choose not to vaccinate, we strongly encourage you to establish care with a provider who shares your vaccination philosophy. We are an active participant in the Vaccines for Children Program through the North Carolina Immunization Registry. It provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of the inability to pay.
