Hi Monica. In my opinion Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is an excellent medical center. Their ENT department is one of the best in the country. They see people from all over the world and are preferred over Duke for Head and Neck cancers. My husband's doctor is a senior faculty member there and in Castle Connolly's estimation, is among the top 1% in the nation in his specialty. We drive about 300 miles round trip to see him, it's been well worth it. For us, that place has been excellent! I wish you the best.
