    I recently moved to Park City from out of state. While I am an active person living a pretty healthy lifestyle, I have a history that includes cancer and some joint/bone issues. At my first visit with Dr. Wolferz he was completely up to date with my health history, having reviewed all of my (very lengthy) medical notes. He seamlessly took over my care and I was confident I was in very good hands. I recently visited, at my oncologist's recommendation, with some unique symptoms that were worrying me. Dr. W listened carefully, gave me a physical exam and explained in great detail what he believed was going on. He prescribed the treatment plan, as well as what plan B would be if I didn't improve greatly in the following days. He asked that I contact his team to update him on my condition the following week. Sure enough, he was spot on and I was completely pain free and cured within days. Dr. Wolferz is absolutely the BEST... I thoroughly trust him and am grateful to be under his care.

    In the world of assembly line medical treatment it's amazing to find a doctor who stops to spend the time to listen and to truly care. Dr Wolferz is that rare individual who is passionate about medicine but even more passionate about his patients. We are truly lucky to have such a doctor practice here in Park City.
