Dr Wakefield performed a fusion to my lower back and I feel so much better. I am pain free and can now walk long distance again. I can sit with ease. Dr Wakefield gave me my quality of life back. Prior to the surgery I was in pain, couldn’t walk far, couldn’t sit for long. Now I’m going to my exercise class 3 times a week and back to walking long distances. His staff is amazing as well. I highly recommend Dr Wakefield.
