I went to him for a wrist problem I've been having for a while and he was honestly kind of...mean. I've never had a doctor be so unkind with the way he spoke to me. He had absolutely no empathy and wasn't nice. I'm really shocked he spoke to me like that :(
I saw Dr. Wolfe 6 months before an important athletics season was approaching for wrist pain. I soon discovered that I needed a surgical repair of my TFCC and and underwent several months of physical therapy following the operation in order to get me back healthy for our season. Dr. Wolfe was professional, charismatic, and so knowledgable about the realistic recovery timeline. He got me back in time for my sports season safely and I had a wonderful experience working with the HSS staff.
Dr. Wolfe and his team provide the greatest expertise and professional care we have experienced. Our teenage son has seen a few other doctors at different orthopedic offices who provided a brief exploration of his wrist issue. Dr. Wolfe listened to the patient and conducted a thorough exam with measuring instruments. He got on the phone with a couple of radiologists to consult on our son's MRI the day before Thanksgiving, not wanting us to have a long weekend of continued worry. Our son was put into a cast that day by the do... read more
Doctor is very caring and professional. His office is set up the same way, caring and professional staff. This of course in addition to his expertise. I had tendon surgery on a stubborn finger that refused to straighten out. He worked with me until it straightened out, by advising and trying different devices. The post surgery follow ups were excellent. I was extremely pleased and would recommend Dr.Wolfe to anyone who needs a first class hand surgeon. The hospital and follow up hand therapy at HSS were amazing as well. To s... read more
I am a surgeon and went to several of the top hand surgeons and Dr. Wolf was by far head and shoulders above the others. Simply put, his care and his team are world class. He is empathetic and spends time explaining every detail of the problem your experiencing. He is a world class clinician and found a problem that other doctors missed. He is the best of the best and why I chose him to do a procedure on my invaluable hands. The surgery center team was fantastic. It was during the covid pandemic in the summer and I felt safe... read more
Dr. Wolfe was recommended to me as the best hand surgeon in the world. Based on my experience with him, that must be the truth. Other doctors said that in a few years my hand would not be functional. Now about a year and a half out from my surgery, I am recovering well and am able to play tennis without pain. I am so grateful to Dr. Wolfe and I would recommend him a thousand times over.
This is the first time I have ever reviewed a doctor. The reason I am writing this comment is due to the remarkable result of a procedure performed by Dr. Wolfe on my wrist. I had suffered with wrist pain for at least 20 years. I was examined by doctors at NYU, Columbia Presbyterian, and Mt. Sinai. All of the proposed procedures suggested would have resulted in significant loss of functionality as well as increased instability in the joint. The procedure performed by Dr. Wolfe was the least invasive and resulted in the compl... read more
Dr. Wolfe has given my arm back to me. After surgery to resolve multiple problems in my shoulder only resolved some problems last year, my original surgeon, Dr. Struan Coleman, also of HSS who did a fantastic job on my shoulder by restoring my strength and mobility, referred me to Dr. Wolfe. Dr. Wolfe was intent on determining what was still causing me pain and difficulty. He correctly diagnosed a compressed ulnar nerve in my elbow and he operated on my elbow. I started seeing results that week, as the numbness and tingling ... read more
Angels I say, they’re Angels. Heaven is short a half a dozen angels and they all work at HSS in New York. I recently had surgery for carpal tunnel at HSS. My right hand on July 7 and my left hand on August 4th. Dr. Wolf was my surgeon and savior. I was very nervous for my first surgery but from the moment I came into the Ambulatory center the staff put me at ease and reassured me at every turn. I can not say enough for these wonderful people (angels). From the moment I entered pre op, and until I was in recovery there was al... read more
