If anyone here had surgery at Duke... how long did it take them to contact you after you submitted your initial application?

I had my surgery at Duke DRH 5 years ago. Duke has two campuses and while they are related, they are different. There is the bigger facility in Durham and the newer program in Raleigh. It took them a few weeks to contact me when I started my journey. I would contact their office and ask the to give  you an overview of the timeframes you can expect. 

Wishing you all the best,

About 5-6 weeks. I applied in late March 2011 and had my first appt June 13, 2011. You can chose your surgeon, but I didn't have a preference.

I had mine at DRH on 4/24/12 and they have been pretty good with their communication but like the last poster said, about 3-5 weeks was my norm.  I'm the type of person to call when I want to know though so it may have taken longer had they not been afraid I would call them.  :)
