Advanced Care—Rooted in Community

At Stillwater Neurology, advanced neurological care goes hand in hand with a deep connection to the community we serve. Our practice offers in-house diagnostic testing—including EEG and EMG—allowing patients to receive timely, accurate evaluations without unnecessary referrals or delays. This integrated approach helps ensure continuity of care from initial consultation through treatment and follow-up. But our commitment extends beyond technology and diagnostics.

Dr. John Wedlake’s journey in medicine began right here in Stillwater. Before entering medical school, he worked at Stillwater Medical Center, where support from the SMC Foundation’s employee scholarship program helped make his medical education possible. That early experience shaped his dedication to service, gratitude, and giving back—values that continue to guide the care provided at Stillwater Neurology today.

This blend of advanced medical expertise and genuine community investment is what sets our practice apart. Patients receive not only high-level neurological care, but also the reassurance of being treated by providers who understand, respect, and are personally invested in the people they serve.

Dr. John Wedlake

Dr. Wedlake is a Stillwater native, born and raised right here in Stillwater, OK. He is a product of the Stillwater school system and graduated from Stillwater High School in 1998. Following the completion of his secondary education, he volunteered for military service with the United States Army, serving a 3-year tour with the prestigious 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, NC as an airborne paratrooper. He was awarded an honorable discharge in 2001, after which he returned promptly to Stillwater to continue his post-secondary education at Oklahoma State University, where he studied microbiology/bacteriology eventually earning a bachelor’s degree from the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. Prior to graduation from OSU, he was awarded the “Outstanding Senior” award in science from OSU.

He then attended medical school at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, earning his medical doctoral degree while also being named the outstanding student in endocrinology/neuroendocrinology of his graduating class. He decided to continue his post-doctoral specialty training in the field of Neurology at OU, where in his final year of residency he was appointed Chief Resident of the Department of Neurology. Following the completion of his residency training, Dr. Wedlake, along with the other founding member of Stillwater Neurology, Dr. McCoy, decided to return to Stillwater to open a neurology practice to further serve Stillwater, Payne County, and all North Central Oklahoma.

In his spare time, Dr. Wedlake enjoys spending time with this family (his wife Jamie, their 16-year-old daughter Kallie, and 10-year-old daughter Kinley), playing tennis, reading, and having “family movie nights” with Jamie, Kallie, and Kinley. He also has a keen passion for all things Neurology and enjoys educating and helping people with neurologic disease. Dr. Wedlake is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons. He is the only board-certified neurologist in all of Payne County and the adjacent counties. He is excited, above all else, to be “home” in Stillwater, and takes immense pride in continuing to improve the neurologic health of our communities!
