When I first came to Dr. Wakefield, it had been a number of years since I'd seen a dentist. I know "hate" is a strong word but I can say I HATED going to the dentist. So I avoided check ups. I was what you might call an "anxious patient" and my boyfriend had explained this when making the appointment for me. From the second I walked off of the elevator, I was treated with care and reassurance. The receptionist, hygienists and assistants who have worked in that office have always been friendly and very helpful. It turned out that I needed a bit of work so I spent more time than I'd like to have spent in that office. Dr. Wakefield prioritized what needed to be done. He was honest about costs, what could wait and what needed to be fixed as soon as possible. I appreciated that he didn't beat around the bush and was straight up about information regarding my mouth. While having work done and white knuckling the arm rests on the chair, he would check in to make sure I was doing ok, offer to take a break and remind me to breathe. After two or so years of visiting the office every other month, I was cured of my fear of the dentist. I actually *almost* miss visiting the office more than twice a year for cleanings. read more

I'm a 62 year old woman who, thanks to some seriously suspect DNA as it relates to a healthy, well-formed mouth, have spent more hours in a dentist's chair than most. All this dental chaos requires serious talent, true mutual coopreration, and uncompromised scruples from the professionals treating me. I knew instantly that Dr. Wakefield and his staff were there to do right by me, my mouth and my pocketbook (no dental insurance); and over our many years together, they have never disappointed. On the contrary, they have gone beyond all normal standards to accommodate me, my sometimes whacky schedule and most importantly, to perserve my existing teeth as long as possible. I eventually required some implants and I'm even returning to Philly next week from Arizona to have Dr. Wakefield et al complete the work. Having moved away in the middle of the implant process, I'm counting on the Wakefield team to finish me off with a flourish. Dr. Wakefield and his staff get my unqualified recommendation and greatest thanks. My biggest fear is that I will be unable to find and form another such successful collaboration in my new state. I will miss Dr. Wakefield and his team a lot! read more

I have never reviewed on Yelp before, but I had to comment here because of these totally nonsensical negative reviews! I have been seeing Dr Wakefield for almost 15 years - I had to comment about the negative ratings/comments on the staff - this is just plan INCORRECT! The staff at this office is the best of any dr's office I've ever gone to (and I'm almost 40)! Love them. Years ago when I first went to see Dr W, he let me know I had a dead nerve in a tooth that my other dentist had never picked up on! Dr Wakefield fixed me right up. He is also helping my husband (a child of 7 who never had dental care growing up!) get his teeth back to a healthy point - no small feat :) Dr Wakefield is always on the cutting edge of technology, but is willing to work with a level (and price) of service that fits your needs. People laugh at me because I love to go to my dentist. Seriously. read more

Yelp removed me first review for no reason. I am posting again since I love my dental office and feel bad that all their good reviews are filtered by Yelp-it SO unfair. Anyways, I love DR wakefield's office and his staff are wonderful. I am pasting im my first review below: I have just read the previous reviews and had to write something in response. I have posted to Yelp several times and my review never posts for others to see. I love Dr Wakefield AND his staff. They are the most caring, honest, and friendly dental office I have ever been to. I can always get an appointment when I need one. I am always greeted with a friendly smile when I walk in the office. The hygienist is great. too. I guess people are entitled to their own opinions but I can't even believe the office was rude or arrogant in any way. Oh well! read more

I LOVE this office! The whole team is friendly, fun and exceptionally good at what they do! Seriously, who has fun at the dentist? Patients here do! And Dr. Wakefield is a perfectionist - so when you are in that uncomfortable place of having dentistry done on front teeth this is your office! Perfectly matched fillings - no one would ever know you had work done. What is really important to me is there is NEVER that odd sales thing going on here - its great treatment and reasonable fees, the last dentist I went to felt like a use car salesman - at this office it is exceptional health care. Everyone here cares about YOU and your teeth! You never wait in the waiting room...which is amazing! the office is clean and beautiful and the staff is amazing! Clearly, I am a fan - and when you go - you will be too! read more

Dr. Wakefield has been my DDS for over three years now. I never thought i'd say this but i actually don't mind showing up to my appointment. The staff is very welcoming and on time. I have a very busy schedule and the receptionist has been able to accommodate me for every procedure that i have needed. Dr. Wakefield is casual yet professional. I Recommend This Office For Anybody Searching For Great Dental Experience. By the way-this is at least my third post and Yelp keep removing it for no good reason!!! read more

There are many great comment I can make regarding this dental office, but I will keep it simple....SUPER friendly, very gentle, and most importantly, very accommodating. I had an appointment today and was informed that someone gave the office a negative review. How dare you!!!!! Seriously, my family and I have been patients for 4 years now. I trust Dr. Wakefield with my teeth and my children do, too! I will continue to be a faithful patient of Dr Wakefield, and that says alot about his practice. read more

I was a patient at Dr. Wakefield's from 2001 until I moved to California in 2010. I loved the staff there. They were always friendly, always professional, and I would never have considered going anywhere else. Whenever I had an appointment, my time was respected and the appointment was on time. The work that I had done during those 10 years is all intact and my teeth look terrific for someone my age. The people that wrote the negative reviews must be clueless. read more

I had an appointment with Dr. Wakefield, after having a recent negative experience at another dental office. Dr. Wakefield and staff were extremely knowledgable and professional. I was pleasantly greeted by every staff member I came in contact with. Dr. Wakefield took time explaining my X-rays to me and my cleaning was done in a thorough and timely manner. All in all, excellent service! read more

Dr. Wakefield and his staff are great. I have been going to him for many years and have always felt comfortable in his office. On a more personal side - I've always like to smile but due to tetracycline staining I was never happy with my smile. Dr. Wakefield worked his magic with veneers and now I love my smile and I am smiling big and proud. Thank you for making a dream come true. read more

I highly recommend this dentist. He is an awesome and careful doctor. In addition, his staff is very kind and skilled. I have visited many dentists in this city, and have to say that he is the best in town. As an added value, his practice is pristine and offers a great city view (something that really relaxes me while I am there.) read more
