Family Practice Center

For any questions regarding direct patient care, please call the Department of Family Medicine Clinic at (336) 716-4479

Our 20,000-square-foot Family Medicine Center, an outpatient clinic of North Carolina Baptist Hospital, opened its doors in February 1992. This model practice occupies an entire floor in a community office building that was formerly the headquarters for Piedmont Airlines.

Less than a mile from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (comprised of North Carolina Baptist Hospital and Wake Forest School of Medicine), the Family Medicine Center offers patients, staff and physicians the benefits of a community setting, while maintaining ready access to the Medical Center via a van shuttle service. The outpatient volume approaches 60,000 office visits per year.

Four patient care modules, each with 10 examination rooms, a nursing station, a reception area, a waiting room, and consultation/dictation, provide the backbone for the Center. There is also a large treatment room with a special sigmoidoscopy/colposcopy suite. Also on this floor are our x-ray facilities, laboratory and business office. Renovations of the reception areas, waiting rooms and nursing stations were completed in the fall of 2008.

The adjacent floor houses the faculty offices, a large resident lounge, library and multiple conference rooms.

There are over 50 providers at the Center, including faculty, residents and physician assistants. In addition, medical students from Wake Forest School of Medicine rotate through the center to learn about Family Medicine.

We provide care between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday. In addition, we have evening hours on Thursdays. An emergency clinic is available Saturday morning from 9 am to noon for urgent problems; routine appointments are not available on Saturdays.
