Let me first start by saying that I consider Dr. Wakefield a friend. We have known each other for many years outside the practice and it is with a heavy heart that I post this review.

Dr. Wakefield serves this community as doctor and his country as a Colonel in the United States Army. In June 2019 he was activated and deployed overseas for 6 months. In a little more than 2 months, his spouse has driven away many people within the community.

His practice, the Christian Clinic, more often than not, cannot be reached in person or on the phone. Even the local hospital and pharmacies have a difficult time communicating with his office.

The final straw for me came this morning when after waiting 3 full days for his office to respond to my pharmacy for a refill (they didn't), I went in right when they opened for limited hours someone is actually at the practice.

There I encountered Dr. Wakefield's spouse and she began looking up my information. She then informed me that I had not seen the doctor since last year and that they would not refill unless I made another appointment so see someone else. I would not have a problem with that except I had been earlier this year ... in fact there was an error with how much they charged me because I am "self-pay" and receive a discount.

I offered to bring in proof via a receipt that I was indeed seen by Dr. Wakefield but she informed me that I could bring in all the receipts I wanted but it would not change her mind.

I tried to reason with her but she kept cutting me off ... then she finally told me that I may go. So go I did. There are other doctors in this town. I don't share the personal relationship (I helped to literally build out this clinic for him when he left the practice he was at before, in barter for a couple of office visits) with these other doctors. But maybe that's better. Their judgement is not clouded by personal feelings.

In any case ... Dr. Wakefield is good. If I were injured, taking into account he is an Army doctor with battlefield experience, I would hope to have him.

If you are looking for reliability and a supportive and listening staff ... LOOK ELSEWHERE! Incompetence for them seems to be a keyword.

The 2 stars are for him. It would have been more but his staff lost it for him.Let me first start by saying that I consider Dr. Wakefield a friend. We have known each other for many years outside the practice and it is with a heavy heart that I post this review.

At his new location, was the worst experience i have ever had at a Dr. office. The staff seams very confused. Other patients were in their complaining as I was waiting to be seen. Blood work results were not given. Three weeks later, I call and get "since their abnormal, I cant give you the results, you'll have to wait till tomorrow." Unbelievable. As far as being seen by the Dr. that was ok, I could have gone without hearing all about his divorce. Overall, bad experience. They seem very incompetent. For a check up, maybe. To trust with my life, def not.

The Doctor above is incompetent. He took me off a perfectly good medicine that was working fine for me for years and put me on something that gave me a medical reaction and first degree burns. He doesn't listen to his patients he forces his "Christian Beliefs" on those that may not hold the same beliefs as him. If he took the time to actually listen he might understand that things aren't what they appear. His office staff are incompetent and rude. They dont know the basic medical procedures and basically run around like chickens with there heads cut off. He invades ones personal space without asking or warning, it leaves you with a feeling of anxiety and not being able to trust your doctor. After this last fiasco with his office I will gladly find a new doctor. Be warned you will not get the typical medical experience from this Dr. Your left waiting in his waiting room for hours with little to no heat. You freeze to death before you even see the Dr. Basically JUST RUN. and RUN FAST.

He's a great doctor. He doesn't rush through your visit. He's knowledgable, friendly, compassionate, caring. He's got a great staff. He's on time so you don't wait long. I have a sort of rare condition and he has helped me out alot. He diagnoises the problem correctly.
