    First of all, Dr. Wolferz is very personable and a very nice person. He was right on time for my appointment. Dr. Wolferz listened carefully. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. He did NOT rush. He answered all of my questions. I couldn't ask for more in a primary care provider. I would give him my highest recommendation.
