WakeMed North-Emergency Room
10000 Falls of Neuse RdWe are roughly located just off the 6000 block of Falls of Neuse (which turns into/name changes to Wake Forest Road between here and Duke Hospital) so if you take a right off of our street and a left at the first light (onto Falls of Neuse) you can head straight to Duke's ER. If you take a right at the light instead, you can go to WakeMed's ER. They are both basically on the same road in opposite directions from our place. We would normally go to Duke out of familiarity, however, WakeMed's ER may be a newer facility.
