My experience with Dr. Wakefield was very positive.

She patiently listened to my complaints and explained my diagnosis in terms that were easy to understand. She also offered alternative treatments for my specific condition.

One of a kind

I went to see Dr. Wakefield for a sinus issue and she ended up performing something close to a surgery on my ears ! She looked into it and saw that it needed cleaning desperately and so she did! I won’t lie, it was very painful but Dr Wakefield and her assistant Karen were absolutely patient and kind to me. Karen even held my hand ! She tried to comfort me in between procedures engaging in small talks which made me feel a lot more in peace with the outcome. Lost story short, I can hear so much better, sinus issue under control and a great doctor to refer to friends and family.

Awesome experience!

Dr. Wakefield was so friendly, down to earth and very thorough. During the procedure she would periodically ask if I was okay which I appreciated. I didnt feel rushed at all. She took her time and did an amazing job. I left the office with 100 percent clear hearing and also some great advice how to keep my ears clear going forward. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you Dr. Wakefield!

Kind and generous with her time.

Dr Wakefield took the time to listen to my previous history and walk me through each step of my condition without judgement. I felt like this was the first time I was truly heard by a doctor and not taken advantage of. Thank you!

I felt really good to see Dr. Wakefield for my sinus infection than going to a urgent care center telling me it's congestion from allergies. Whenever I need that has to do with with my nose and ears Dr. Wakefield is the best
