Access to primary care has been a hot-button issue in health care reform. WakeMed is pleased to announce that Monday marked opening day for Falls Pointe Medical Group, a four-physician primary care practice that greatly increased access to primary care for patients in Northern Wake County.
Located in the Physician Office Pavilion at WakeMed North Healthplex, Drs. Michele Roberts Casey, Monica Oei, Inam Rashid and Leslie Robinson are looking forward to accepting new patients. Please call the office at (919) 848-9451 to schedule an appointment.
Other WakeMed owned or affiliated primary care practices opened or aligned with the system in the past year include Brier Creek Internal Medicine and Knightdale Family Medicine.
Access to primary care means,not only the availability of primary care physicians, but also financial access. There is little point to having more doctors if people such as waitresses, construction workers and others(in these very necessary professions)who generaly don’t have health coverage can not afford to visit their practices.
