Robert Crews Edens (Crews) is an excellent healthcare provider. I live 5 minutes away from the WakeMed Primary Care Facility in Fuquay Varina. When Crews took the job in downtown Raleigh, I chose to drive to downtown in order to keep Crews as my Primary Care Provider because my healthcare has been so well taken care of by Crews.

02/19/2024

Check-in process was outstanding. The staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. We travel almost 2 hours to come to WakeMed Primary because we value our relationship with and care received from Crews Edens. He is absolutely top-notch. I feel like a participant in my own healthcare because Crews Edens listens! He is genuinely interested in my health and very knowledgeable and kind.

07/27/2023

Crews is an absolute jewel. Always courteous and listens. He makes suggestions and asks for my input.

07/26/2023

Mr. Edens has been my primary care giver for several years. He is the most competent, available and concerned provider I have ever had. I would follow Mr. Eden wherever he works locally in the future (insurance permitting). In addition to the quality care, he is very responsive to questions I pose via mychart and is always willing to adjust his schedule if we feel there is a need for a visit sooner than his current schedule would allow. Mychart has become very useful too for me - please continue this trend. The staff at the raleigh office is competentm friendly and accommodating. The facility is nice and clean. I am glad that wakemed resolved its issues with partners that allow for lab work to be done onsite versus separate trip to Labcorp.

07/24/2023

Crews talked to me more like a friend than a doctor. I used to see Dr K; he’s quite similar in the way he interacts with the patient, making the transition to a new provider AWESOME! I would recommend Crews to anyone! He took the time to hear me, answer my questions, and took my input to make medical decisions. It was a great appt!
