Great office. Friendly staff. If I may make a suggestion, I would suggest letting people know at time of scheduling Appt., and/or right before administering the drops that dialate the eyes that they will have fuzzy vision for a few hours.
Fortunately, for me today I did not have anything "pressing" going on following the Appointment, but, if I had, I would've been in a real Jam because my vision was very blurry and I had no expectation for this? I wasn't told that this was part of standard procedure at any time?
I am not mad, I am not upset, I am not angry, I am only making an observation in hopes of helping.

I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Woolf. The receptionist was friendly and efficient. The technician was also very friendly and demonstrated excellent skill in her duties. Dr. Wolff was very professional and had great “bedside” manor. I am happy to have found this office.

Dr Woolf really cares about his patients. He takes the time to explain everything he does and everything he sees. You know exactly what is or isn't wrong with you by the time you leave his office.
September 14, 2018Barbara A.Verified patient
My wife saw Dr. Woolf for a second opinion on the diagnosis of an eye disease. He spent substantial time reviewing the test and diagnosis from our prior ophthalmologist, offered to perform a test at no cost to us if our insurance would not pay for the second test, and then called us in the evening to assure us that my wife did not have the eye condition. He is extremely professional as is his staff, takes the time to explain what is going on, and really cares about the health and well being of his patients. I wish other doctors were more like him looking out for their patients.
May 23, 2018Kyong K.Verified patient
Dr Woolf is such a wonder Dr. He is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff.. He doesn't rush you out and listens to your concerns. He explains to your what is going on. He caught the cancer on my eyelid when no one else knew what it was, and I'm so thankful I found him. His staff is just wonderful! very nice and courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr Woolf if your're in need of a great opthamologist . He is the best!
