He is not only brilliant, but the easiest doctor to talk to and an amazing human being . I have had the trifecta of his specialties (shoulder, hip & knees), and he has been so great with finding solutions to all. He did a great job on the surgery of my fractured hip this past December. I just can’t say enough about him!

Dr. Wolfson listened to my shoulder pain complaints, offered possible causes, and suggested non-surgical options first. When surgery became the only option, he carefully explained the procedure and the recovery process. Post-op he coordinated the recovery with the physical therapist. I made steady progress to complete recovery with very little discomfort.
