REVIEWS:
“I had the privilege and honor of having Dr Wolf as my doctor for over 15 years until I relocated to Phoenix, and you will not find a more wonderful doctor. He is kind, compassionate and he LISTENS to his patients…he’s very knowledgeable, and he seeks to find the source of the problem and not just push prescriptions on you. He takes the time to ask about your current prescriptions and if you have any problems or side effects, and he doesn’t rush you out to get to the next patient. Choosing him as a doctor is a wise decision, but be prepared to wait when you go to see him for appointments! Several doctors all share the same waiting room but probably 75% of the waiting patients are there to see Dr Wolf. My only downside to moving to Phoenix is that I had to lose him as a doctor.” -Monique Henry
