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.

Dr Wolfla performed my back surgery. He and his team were absolutely amazing. They explained all the procedures and options, and we made a decision together. At the time of surgery, each team member came in and introduced themselves and asked if we had any questions. I felt very confident in their ability. Surgery went well, and his staff kept in touch regularly through the recovery process. I would absolutely recommend Dr Wolfla to anyone!

Dr. Wolfka is a great Dr. Explained things that other Dr.'s hadn't Explained. Only negative thing is the furniture in waiting room definitely needs to be replaced. Old, ripped & dirty. I'm sure Froedtert should be able to replace it.

Surgery was Great!! – Dec 28, 2023

Very likely to recommend Dr. Wolfla - great care.
After almost a year of other unsuccessful attempts at treatment, Dr. Wolfla’s explanation of the cause of my pain, the options that could be considered and their rate of providing a successful recovery were important to our final decision.

Dr Wolfla and his team are top notch!
It takes more than one great doctor when having surgery and Dr Wolfla has the best team around him to care for his patients. Dr Wolfla performed cervical fusion on me about 6 years ago with great results. With diligence and the help of PT, I was able to travel to a remote part of Africa twelve weeks later, and was sleeping in a tent, working and walking everywhere. So when I realized that the pain I was recently experiencing was lower back related , I went back to Dr Wolfla. I’m currently on the road to recovery and am confident that I will once again come back strong and get my healthy lifestyle back again. I understand recovery looks different for everyone, and Dr Wolfla has given me the best opportunity to return to my previous lifestyle.

Excellent physician
Dr Wolfla is a wonderful physician/surgeon. He came highly recommended from friends as well as my husband who had a discectomy in 2013. So glad I finally reached out. The process went so smoothly and quickly. Dr Wolfla explained everything in detail. What was wrong, options and more. So happy with my results.

This is the 3rd operation I have had with Dr. Wolfla (spinal fusion in neck, ulnar nerve mitigation and lower back arthritis). Wolfla has always been responsive to my needs and care. I would trust him with any spine surgeries that I would need.
