Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Waste of time & energy
It was my first time seeing her as a new patient. We spent about 15 to 20 minutes together. In that time I explained her all the things that was going on with myself. And was rushed out. I felt as she downplayed everything I was telling her like I was a hypochondriac or something. She prescribed me medication, but didn’t even send it to the Pharmacy. Total waste of my time reaching out to this doctor for help! 10 out of 10 don’t recommend…

Met via virtual appt as a stop gap since my PCP wasn't available. She said her office would get me a sooner follow up appointment closer to my house. One month later, they send me the generic Emory appointment number and deny my birth control refill. In my chart she always sends a response (via a nurse) and doesn't allow for a reply.

Dr. Hemby
If you only want to see her and then get referred to a specialist, then this Dr is for you. I was left waiting over 6 months to be seen by a specialist for a condition she treated but medication had adverse side effects after several months. The specialist seemed surprised I hadn't gotten alternative treatment from her.

Not only did I have to wait an hour and a half to see Dr hemby she was rude and rushed during my appointment and missed a lot of things. She treated me as her Rush was my problem and my fault. I am not sure that she really wants to be a doctor. I will be looking for another Primary Care.

No Thanks
Nothing you would want in a doctor. Inattentive and hurried, she lets you know she is on her way to the next patient. No follow up or knowledge of you as a patient. Look elsewhere cause it’s clear she doesn’t connect with her patients on any level.

Went in to see Dr. Hemby for a routine physical. Waited over 40 mins to be seen (which is usual I guess) but then she just sped through my physical and she was pressuring and trying to guilt me into taking the vaccine (that I DID NOT want). When I asked her to clarify parameters of some tests she just said I was good and that they didn’t matter. To make matters worse I had to keep her from walking out the door to ask her a few other questions. To which she just dismissed and said were normal. I have been going here for YEARS and each time has just been getting worse. Safe to say I’m not going back.

Dr. Hemby was able to quickly identify the need for a neurologist. Then when the referral wasn't responded to in over 4 weeks of me waiting, she quickly got me a neurology appt in Wake Forest. She also got me another referral to another doctor for an additional check. She's been a real partner to me with this crazy medical issue. I appreciate her for everything she is doing!
