Craig T Wakefield, DDS

I love every aspect of this office. Everyone is kind and professional. Dr. Wakefield is delicate and effective. He is very honest but at the same time cares more about his patient than his paycheck. He is the best dentist I’ve ever had.

I had my first visit tonight and everyone was very warm and friendly. I have seen Dr. Wakefield’s ad in the Philadelphia Gay News and am glad I called. He is knowledgeable, caring and proactive with your set of teeth. I also liked the Dental Hygienist and Dental Assistant. It’s taken me 8.5 years to find a nice dentist. I am happy I made the appointment and will get my gums and teeth healthy again.

Dr. Wakefield was recommended by a friend about seven or eight years ago, and I’ve been a completely happy patient ever since. I have recommended him to at least three other friends who are also now happy patients. What do I love about my dentist? Dr. Wakefield is great. He fixes what needs to be fixed well, and doesn’t fix what doesn’t need fixing if it doesn’t need fixing. I’ve had major and minor work done by him over the years and he’s been consistently good. I’ve had scheduled and emergency work done by him — he’s been great. He explains well, he’s good humored and I love having him as my dentist. His staff are also great. He hires some of the best, most interesting, most competent people around as techs/​assistants. To top it all off, the practice is well run. Sara, who manages the office, is totally competent and professional. Scheduling is easy, reminders are reliable, re-​scheduling is accommodated if needed, waits are never, ever excessive, insurance billing is always dealt with easily. All good. There has only ever been one mix up with insurance and Wakefield’s office took care of it (it was their error and they dealt with it totally appropriately). I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences here.

Great dentist and staff. Caring and compassionate. These are people that I trust with my mouth and with my son’s mouth!

Love this office. I have been getting treatment here for a few years and always have a good experience. The staff goes above and beyond to answer my questions and Dr Wakefield is amazing. Highly recommend!

Dr Wakefield has been my dentist for over 15 years, and I’m still going there, even if I moved to NYC almost 7 years ago. I did try to find another dentist in a more convenient location, but I couldn’t find anybody that I liked and trusted as much as I trust him.
He is an excellent doctor: he fixes my problems, doesn’t push unnecessary procedures, has reasonable prices, always answers my questions, and has a great sense of humor. I had innumerable cleanings, several fillings, and 2 crowns done by him, and I’ve always been very happy with his work.
I also have found the staff extremely kind and helpful, which is not that usual in medical offices.

Dr. Wakefield and his office was highly recommended by a colleague of mine who had some serious and challenging dental issues.
I was very tentative as I had an ongoing issue with a crown and had a great dentist in my former city. I also have a very adverse reaction to pain of any sort.
I need not have worried. Dr. Wakefield is a highly professional dentist who is caring and delightful. My long suffering over my crown has FINALLY found a permanent solution. And all of the staff are attentive and responsive to my needs. Even simple things such as helping me to find the best parking deal in ritzy Rittenhouse Square is not too small a detail to overlook.
No one goes to the dentist for fun. You go because you have to if you want healthy teeth and gums. Dr. Wakefield and his staff make it the most positive experience one can have taking care of what is essential.

I really enjoyed my visit here. The staff were very courteous and kind. They went out of their way to try to fit me in for an appointment. The dentist was really sweet and great at explaining what was normal, what what was happening to my teeth, and how we could fix that. Highly recommended.

it’s unfortunate, the place used to be great but they are so rude i don’t waste my time or my insurance money there.

In my time as a patient here, I found the receptionist to be rude and dishonest. I was not able to make it to an appointment one morning, and when I explained the situation to the receptionist, she was completely disinterested and explained that I would be charged a fee for my missed appointment. She was also very dishonest about my insurance. I had two different insurers while I was a patient there, and she assured me that they accepted my insurance. They did not. They were an out of network dentist for me, and one insurance company told me they couldn’t believe how much they charged for a cleaning. She also overcharged me one visit for Xrays I did not recieve, and told me there would be no refund, the overcharge would remain on my account as a credit. I never have been treated that way at any other dentist or doctors office in my life. It’s a shame, I thought Dr. Wakefield and the hygenists were great.

I have seen many dentists in many states in my short life. Dr. Wakefield and his staff are THE BEST. I do not joke around when it comes to dentists.
The office staff is so personable and friendly. They are awesome to deal with on the phone and in person. The hygienists are fantastic. Dr. Wakefield is obviously superb.
Besides a mostly painless, surprisingly comfortable cleaning/​exam, Dr. Wakefield was the FIRST dentist to tell me that my minor tooth pain was caused by brushing too hard. No other dentist has ever been able to get to the root of the pain. Such a simple thing! So after they showed me the correct brushing techniques — voila! Everything is better.
The reason I switched to Dr. Wakefield in the first place was because my prior dentist gave me a hard time when I requested amalgam for a pinprick sized filling in my back molar. No one is going to see this thing, so I am not going to pay out of pocket costs for a white composite filling. Dr. Wakefield gave me my choice and rolled with it. No questions asked.
I just really appreciated the time and respect and patience everyone exhibited here. I didn’t feel rushed like they wanted to move on to the next appointment, and I felt cared for. A valued patient.
Sadly my new insurance does not allow me to see Dr. Wakefield any longer. I am still coming to grips with this.
