Dr. Scott C. Elston
Overview
I am board certified in internal medicine and I have been practicing urgent care medicine since 1997. I enjoy the fast pace of urgent care, as well as the opportunity to solve problems for my patients. My approach has always been to accurately diagnose and treat underlying issues, while alleviating symptoms whenever possible. My training in internal medicine, my transitional internship (mixed medicine/surgery), as well as my previous roles as medical director of an intensive care unit and emergency room have prepared me well for the practice of urgent care. Growing up, I was undecided as to whether I wanted to become a detective or a teacher. I feel that my current work in urgent care allows me to be both!.

Duke Urgent Care Holly Springs
"To this day, a poster I wrote when I was 5 years old hangs in my childhood bedroom. It says, ""When I grow up I want to be a doctor."" As a child, my little sister had severe asthma. My first memories of health care are sitting with her in the ER while she did her nebulizer treatments and watching her do them several times a day at home. I was always very protective of her and her experience gave me the desire to become a doctor. During my family medicine residency, I fell in love with the fast-paced, spontaneous environment of urgent care. I enjoy urgent care because every day is unique and I have the ability to treat a wide variety of disease processes. I truly love practicing medicine. Prior to joining Duke Health, I practiced in the urgent care department of a hospital-owned system for five years, three of which I served as the associate medical director for urgent care. When I'm not at work, I'm outside enjoying nature and chasing my three children around.". Dr. Wilford is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Vertigo.

Duke Urgent Care Cary
I love working as an urgent care doctor because I get to connect with patients I have never met before, find out why they are there, and help them to feel safe and receive good care. After I completed my residency, I worked as an urgent care doctor in Cleveland, Ohio for almost six years. I worked in the underserved as well as the urban area of Cleveland. In January 2020, I moved to Raleigh and started working at Duke Health. I like reading books and cooking in my spare time and love traveling with my family.

Duke Urgent Care Brier Creek
I moved to North Carolina from Chicago in 2005 for a warmer climate. I trained in family medicine, but fell in love with the fast pace of urgent care, which I have been doing full time since 2007. I am comfortable treating sprains, strains, lacerations, most illnesses, and will do my best to find answers to more unusual signs and symptoms.
