This was truly one of the best doctors appointments I’ve ever had. Dr. Wakade was very warm and welcoming from the beginning all the way to the end. I felt 100% comfortable, I felt heard and understood, and I felt like she truly cared about my overall wellbeing. She was very quick to get me on track for the next steps and communicated very clearly what those next steps would be. I left the appointment feeling 100lbs lighter knowing I was in good hands, moving in the right direction, and given all the resources and information I needed. She is one of a kind and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

I always worry about the bedside manner of doctors. No matter my concern. After reading so many 5 star reviews of Doctor Wakade, I took the leap. I am 46 years old and my appointment with Doctor Wakade was one of the best I’ve had ever. She was kind, knowledgeable, patient, sensitive, compassionate and me feel incredibly comfortable. I cried from worrying about the state of my health and she allowed me that space. There was no spirit or energy of judgement. You know what I’m speaking of when it comes to certain medical professionals. Dr. Wakade is the doctor you dream of. She didn’t talk fast and clung to my every word. We are on a plan and I am looking forward to figuring things out. She even said, “WE’RE going to figure it out together! I am a first time patient of hers and I am so so happy I chose her!!
Verified patient
A great doctor! Very kind, great attitude, very thorough, and answered my questions. I felt very comfortable throughout my appointment! Would highly recommend!
Amazing first experience with Dr Wakade! I have been experiencing gastrointestinal issues for 15+ years and have seen multiple doctors in different states. Although I won’t know for a while whether the comprehensive plan of care outlined during my initial appointment will result in relief, I can say with certainty that Dr Wakade took my concerns seriously! She actually read through my medical history BEFORE she walked into the exam room, asked detailed questions about the tests and treatments I have undertaken in the past, and listened intently to my responses. It was absolutely refreshing to share my journey with a professional who seemed genuinely concerned and curious.
Verified patient
