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.

The best doctor for problems with feet
I have had multiple issues with my feet over the past 10+ years and Dr Wolfe has always been able to help me with painful corns & plantar fasciitis. She is a compassionate doctor and will always do her best to ease your discomfort.

Orthotics
I had an appointment with Dr. Wolfe in December 2022 to get custom orthotics. She is an AMAZING doctor!! She explained everything to me that she was doing, and how the process worked. My feet, back, and hips feel so much better now that I have the support I need and I'm walking the correct way. I highly recommend Dr. Wolfe to everyone !

Very positive experience at the office. Was seen in a timely manner. Staff and Dr very pleasant. I’m a diabetic and Dr did thorough review of my history and medications. Examined my feet for any diabetic complications noted. Thorough explanations of any questions I had for her. Will definitely continue with podiatry care at this office.

Would Not Recommend!
During my visit, Dr Wolfe did not show a level of professionalism that one would expect from a doctor. When I asked if my pain could be related to soft tissue damage or nerve damage, she said she had no idea how that could even be possible. I have a collagen disorder and frequently experience muscle tears so it’s not a stretch to think I could have soft tissue damage in my foot. Dr Wolfe, is not up to date on soft tissue injuries caused by collagen disorders and obviously, thought my question was stupid. Lastly, as I picked up my phone when leaving, she accused me of tape recording her. I was shocked, at her questioning and asked her to repeat herself. She again asked, “Are you tape recording me with your phone?” I said, “No! Why would I record you?” She said, “You immediately picked up your phone.” Yes, Dr Wolfe, I did pick up my phone after the exam. Most people do gather their belongings when leaving the exam room. My husband was there and witnessed the whole experience.

This is my first time seeing Dr. Wolfe for an issue that I saw a previous podiatrist multiple times for. After this appointment I am much more confident that my issue will be corrected once and for all.

My experience with the team today was really helpful and reassuring. I received so much information about my feet and affected body that helped me to feel educated and cared for. There was a palpable sense of authentic and genuine curiosity and active listening whenever I had a question or shared something about what is going on with my feet. I really enjoyed spending my time here today with the team and Dr. Wolfe. Thank you for the support and brilliant care today!
