Dr. Wakefield put things in order, reception and prep kept disorganizeded.

Shared resources of the practice are not amenable to Dr. Wakefield. There appeared to be unexplained delays in my daughter's treatment today.

Excellent experience

I was a first time patient with hopefully expectations. My experience was beyond my expectations. It was excellent. The personnel at the sign in desk were pleasant and professional. They put me at ease. There was a minimum of wait time. The nurse that took me into the examining room took all my information and also made me feel comfortable..

The best was yet to come. Dr. Wakefield was an excellent listener. She explained everything she was about to do and why. She was gentle as she did the examination. She discussed her findings with me and prescribed a medication and suggested improvements in my diet, that would help. Then said I should return in 1 month as a follow up.

I would highly recommend ENT Allergy.

Smooth and thorough experience

Checking in and out was a breeze. The nurses and doctor came in and thoroughly followed the procedures needed for my visit. Doctor Wakefield recommended I take further steps to diagnose my sinus condition and I am currently awaiting in one of two of those next visits.
