Very Friendly doctor, spent time with me. Didn’t rush, addressed my concerns. Will see him again. Office staff were so nice and helpful.

Great help! I've been dealing with this chronic immune issue for months but Dr. Wolchok was able to help me learn more about my issue, find resolutions to treat it, and referred me to another doctor in my area who could further help treat my issue via surgery. AND, Dr. Wolchok told me that if I wouldn't be able to get my surgery scheduled before my insurance expired, he'd make a personal call for me. I felt completely cared for.

October 28, 2021Sarah T.Verified patient
Yes, I will see the DR again.
Dr started examining my update eye rx completely then i had my dilated eyes at last. I like that. In past, my old Eye Drs used to apply my eyes dilated drops before my update eye Rx. After tested, I realized dilated should be the last. Now i have new Dr and better way to test my eyes. I am very happy with Dr Wolchok.

I really like this doctor, but his wait time is awful. First time I went I waited like 1 1/2 hours. This time I waited like 40 minutes past my appointment time.

The wait time was very short and the staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Wolchuk explained things thoroughly in a way that I understood. He took his time and was patient. I did not feel rushed. When I was referred to a specialist, his staff took the time to call them and set up an appointment while I waited.
June 5, 2015Jacquelyn S.Verified patient
My appointment was easily scheduled on ZocDoc.com, since I'm new in town and didn't have any referrals. Upon my arrival, the office staff was pleasant and I was seen by Dr. Wolchok within 5 minutes (for the very first time in the 44 years of my life, I didn't have to wait 30 minutes or longer). The nurse whom assisted me was wonderful, the Doctor was knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosing my eye issue. In summary, it was "the perfect" experience! I would highly highly recommend anyone to see Dr. Wolchok and his wonderful staff!
