Dr. Fred Wesley Dunaway

For 30 years, I've had the privilege of having an extraordinary family doctor who has been more than just a medical provider – he's been a trusted partner in my healthcare journey. What sets him apart is his remarkable ability to provide hospital-level care right in his office, preventing numerous hospital stays through his expertise and proactive approach. What makes him truly special is how he treats his patients – not as case numbers, but as friends. Despite his extensive medical knowledge, he never makes you feel beneath him or talks down to you. He has a rare gift of making complex medical information accessible while maintaining a warm, approachable demeanor. His dedication to patient care goes far beyond the standard doctor's visit. Time and again, he has gone above and beyond what's expected, demonstrating a level of commitment that's increasingly rare in today's medical field. For three decades, he has been consistently present, attentive, and deeply invested in keeping me… healthy. Finding a doctor who combines top-tier medical expertise with genuine human connection is invaluable. After 30 years under his care, I can confidently say that he represents the very best of what family medicine should be – knowledgeable, preventive, and deeply personal care delivered with humility and dedication. If you're looking for a family doctor who will truly invest in your long-term health and treat you with respect and kindness, I cannot recommend him highly enough. My hope is that everyone has a doctor like Dr. Dunaway. Sincerely, Debbie Bowman

I've been seeing Dr. Dunaway now going on 18 years. He has changed practice groups a few times, but always have received that same quality care. Now the practice where he operates has an online portal where appointments, prescription and even questions can be asked and answered. Their staff is great, courteous and timely. I always have been able to ask any question or share my health concerns with him when I have my routine visits, which happen twice a year. I would recommend him highly and his ethics are very high.

This man has a horrible bedside manner. I overheard him and his medical assistant bad mouthing other patients while I waited. You have been forewarned to stay away from this so-called doctor!

I chose this doctor as my new PCP to follow up with after a recent 8 day hospital stay due to an infection that I did have surgery for and still currently have open packed wounds. I actually had started vomiting prior to the appointment and was very thankful to have an appointment already scheduled that day. I arrive for the appointment as scheduled. I begin to discuss my concerns with Dr. Dunaway and he interrupted me and told me I could just stop right there. Dr. Dunaway advised that he would not treat me due to previous lifestyle choices. Please note PREVIOUS on there. He said if I need anything for the next 2 week I can call and he will write a script but in the meantime to find a new PCP. I would have never thought a Saint Elizabeth would act with such unprofessionalism..

Dr Dunnaway did not listen to my concerns nor did he have any empathy for the issues I was facing. This man was THE POOREST doctor I have ever seen. He should not be a physician!
