Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Respectful, kind with a great bedside manor
My mom is 92 yrs old, she suffered a sever nose bleed that landed her in the ER, this experience left her extremely scare and uncomfortable. When she was discharged from the ER she was asked to follow up with Dr. Wolfe. She was very reluctant to go see a new doctor but was so please find that Dr. Wolfe treated her with respect and kindness and showed real concern for her wellness. His actions put my mom at ease. She walked out of this appointment feeling so much better and expressed that she really liked him and appreciated that he showed so much understanding and kindness towards her!

Excellent Replacement For Dr.Saxon!
I saw Doctor Wolfe for a suspected ruptured ear drum thought to be found by my family doctor. I was super nervous and suspect at first, because nobody was ever able to assist me quite like Saxon. All of my fears melted away when he introduced himself, got to know me and examined my ears thoroughly. Don't know his surgical skills so cannot speak to that, and hopefully will never need surgery again; but as a specialist, he truly knows what he is doing!

Dr Wolfe was very kind, knowledgeable, and understanding towards me during my two visits. He wasn't dismissive of my concerns, but instead posed reasons as to why I could be experiencing pain and discomfort. He's a problem solver and him and his staff were all very kind and quick to see me. I really appreciate his help!

My dentist referred me to an ENT due to a concern she had about my dental X-ray. I found Dr. Wolfe through my insurance and it was easy to make an appointment. My appointment was also very easy and efficient. I was seen early and had all my questions and concerns answered. The office staff is also very friendly and Dr. Wolfe was thorough and friendly.

Dr Wolfe changed my life, seriously. He fixed my deviated septum and turbinette. I had seen an ENT a few years back and he said it wasn’t that bad and no need to do anything. Dr Wolfe basically took one look and said woah can you breathe? Post surgery my answer is I don’t think I ever truly knew what breathing was. It’s months later and I’ll still sit here and take a deep breathe through my nose and it is so wonderful it feels like watching a perfect sunset over the beach. Have you guys tried breathed before? I recently went on vacation to dry Wyoming where sagebrush allergens were awful. I normally would have been a mess all vacation struggling to breathe while hiking, like my friend; however, while I needed Zyrtec D, I was otherwise fine. I now have a cold that per usual is progressing to a sinus infection - and I can still breathe better than before surgery! When he said quality of life improvement with this surgery he was not kidding and I couldn’t be more happy

We went to Dr. Wolfe for a second opinion on my daughter after a previous doctor at a large ENT practice took a cursory look at her and told me nothing was wrong. My daughter couldn't breathe out of her nose and sounded like she was snoring when she was wide awake! Dr. Wolfe took the time to discuss my concerns and ended up determining that her adenoids were blocking 95% of her airway. Because her tonsils were also large, he ordered a sleep study to see if they need removal as well.
