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.

Very personable. Answers my questions.

Dr. K is the Best!!!
I was referred to Dr. K at Wolfe Clinic by my optometrist because I was rapidly losing sight in my left eye. Dr. K's associates gave me two exams/test before I was taken to the treatment area. Dr. K went over the test results and thoroughly explained what was wrong what the treatment for my condition (retinal neovascularization) was. Although he couldn't guarantee results, his confidence in his treatment and his staff put me totally at ease. I've know had three treatments (injections into the eye) and my vision is perfect. I'll have to continue injects albeit on a more relaxed schedule. Kudos to Dr. K and the entire staff at Wolfe Clinic!
