I have nothing. Bad to say about Doctor Whitefield and his team. They are very professional. They are very informational and that you have been taking care of me for the longest. They are all most like. Family to me.
My only comment, Doctor Wakefield performance and staff Is outstanding both medical and or non- medical specialist.
Excellent provider - highly recommend. Skilled, and has good pt. interaction skills.
Due to a rare disease I was diagnosed with, Dr. Wakefield took me on as a patient and was well aware of the disease, but not considered his expertise. You have a new Dr. That Dermatomyositis is his specialty in dermatology, Dr. Holcomb and he has agreed to take over my case. It was a mutual decision and Dr. Wakefield strongly encouraged me to see him for all my dermatology needs. I am grateful for the care I have received under Dr. Wakefield all these years.
Always a positive experience with Dr. Wakefield. Always helpful and supportive.
Dr. Wakefield is kind and thorough. I'm very grateful for his expertise and care for patients.
Best dermatologist that I have ever seen. Considerate, thorough, answers all my concerns and questions, never in a hurry
