Patient Reviews
May 19, 2023
I was in a tough situation last November when my surgeon abandoned me four days before my knee operation and my leg was going to break if I didn't have surgery right away because my knee replacement had broken. Dr. Wolfson saw me the very next day -- whereas no other surgeon was able to give me even an emergency appointment, given the holiday schedule. He calmed me down and told me exactly what the problem was from the x-rays and performed the necessary operation soon thereafter. I'm very grateful for his kindness, generosity and skill.
