Dr. Wilford has been my doctor for 36 years. This shows my repect of his competence and understanding. He wants what's best for me. He understands my hesitancy to technology. I tend to accept change slowly.

I was impressed with how thorough and thoughtful he was. I didn't feel rushed and he was really listening to me. He explained things very well and I appreciated that. He was very personable.

Dr Wilford does the correct treatment for my condition
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/7/2024
Dr. Wilford reviewed my most recent test results in detail. We discussed problems I was having with my current Omeprozole treatment, and alternatives to that treatment. We mutually decided to drop Omeprazole and start on 25mg of Jardiance. Dr Wilford was attentive to my concerns, and included me on the decision to try Jardiance.

Dr. Wilford has been my endocrinologist for the past 19 years. He helped me through post partum thyroiditis after my first son. He Followed me through my second pregnancy. He is a wonderful physician.

Dr Wilford took time to discuss my case and to review my options.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/8/2023
Dr Wilford went above my expectations to explain my condition.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/7/2023
I really appreciated Dr. Wilford's input and his tolerance of my old fashion beliefs. We talked about current insulin offerings a well as new tech instruments. I have an "if it's not broken, why fix it" attitude. Dr Wilford showed the patience and understanding of my attitude...not feeling that I was forced will probably make me change for his suggestions. Dr. Wilford has made some great suggestions for my care and I appreciated it.

Was not happy with Dr. Wilford. He has always been very arrogant. Everytime I am scheduled with him I come out crying. Considering finding another doctor

Th options weren't expained very well initially which made me reluctant to change the treatment protocol.
- No RatingReviewed on 9/6/2023
Dr Wilford was incredibly arrogant and rude. I have no help with my diabetes I need a doctor who helps and understands me he was so short and acted like I was so dumb when I'm the one living with my condition he showed me no help at all and is so nasty.

Dr. Wilford and his team are the best.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/1/2023
This was my worst appointment with this provider EVER. He was more concerned with what I didn't want than what my concerns were during my appointment. He never reviewed my test results or checked my heart or my feet ( he typically does all of this). He did review data from the last 2 weeks only, which did not show my issues. Where was the rest of the data? He had access to it. Very disappointed

I have received the best of care. Extremely grateful.

Very good experience
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/17/2023
Dr. Wilfurd was very pleasant this visit, not crabby like last time. (Maybe he just had a bad day last time, but that was first impression.) Liked him much better this time. Discussion was good concerning my treatment. I was hoping for a different outcome of treatment, but Dr. Wilfurd provided a thorough explanation as to why treatment should continue at this time. I was disappointed but grateful for his advice and knowledge of this condition and its likelihood of recurring if not not treated as he advised.

Dr Wilford was very stern and no bedside manner at all. He was actually very rude. He upset me a great deal. BUT I have to say he forced me to start the Dexcom 7 and I can honestly tell you it was the BEST decision. I should have had something like this before LONG LONG before.
