Zebulon — East Wake’s Rising Community
Zebulon was the second-fastest growing city in North Carolina between 2024 and 2025, with 13.9% growth in a single year. Located on the Wake-Johnston County border along the US-64 corridor, Zebulon is part of the eastern Wake County growth surge driven by developments like Wendell Falls and growing industrial employment. The Zebulon Industrial Park and proximity to Johnston County employers generate a consistent blue-collar workforce in construction, manufacturing, and warehousing.
Zebulon patients are seen at the Raleigh Edwards Mill Road office, approximately 30 minutes west via US-64. Telemedicine first visits are available for patients who prefer an initial video consultation before making the drive.
For acute work-related hand injuries from the Zebulon Industrial Park or surrounding employers — lacerations, crush injuries, fractures — call (919) 781-5600 immediately and identify yourself as a workers' comp patient. Same-day evaluation is available. Our team handles the workers' comp process.
