I am very happy with my care with the Fuquay-Varina staff, especially Anita! Wake Med is fortunate to have her on staff!

03/10/2024

Anita has always been very empathetic and truly concerned for my wellbeing. I continue to come to Wake Med because of Anita! She is quick to respond to messages and keeps in touch regarding rx refills. I feel very relaxed during my appointments and comfortable talking with her about my emotional health as well. She reviews and discusses my responses to the questions I am asked to complete while waiting for her to start my appointment. I understand wait times can be lengthy at Dr offices, but this has never been my experience at Wake Med. I hope Anita continues to work at Wake Med Fuquay for many years. I just love her!

Yes, Anita Makowski is an outstanding pcp. She took my health concerns seriously and listened to me, the patient. There was also a time when I was in such excruciating pain that I could barely advocate for myself and Anita listened to my husband when he advocated for me. I am very blessed and grateful to have her as my pcp. The other medical staff that work with Anita (Tomi, Tam and Candy) are amazing. Tomi has been wonderful to me during a pain crisis I had recently. She reassured me, told me that she cares and has given me several hugs. Those hugs meant the world to me.

I am so delighted that Ms Makowski is responsible for my medical care.

I just retired and moved into the area, and I was concerned about finding good medical care. I was a nurse for 43 years, I ran a major cancer center in NY, I know how important good medical care is, especially as I age. I feel very good about the care I will receive under her guidance., and I refer all the other retirees in my 55 and older community to her.
