Dr. Wolny was very thorough and cared about my health decisions. She provided me with excellent care and advice. I would highly recommend her.
Verified patient
I have seen Doc Wolny for yrs. She is efficient and quick and exactly what I appreciate. She is far more business than perhaps most would expect but a 15 min annual exam is appreciated, and I know what to expect each round. She is super bright and over educated as well.
I was referred to Dr. Wolny after a severe traumatic unprofessional interaction with a different provider. She was aware of the situation that happened and did everything in her power to ensure I felt safe, respected, understood, and allowed me the time and grace before moving on to different examinations. Her nurse held my hand, swept my hair out of my face, and was overall very comforting and kind when I was receiving a new form of birth control. I struggled for many years with irregular painful menstrual cycles. She solved it within one session of recommending a new birth control alternative that fit with my lifestyle and benefit my unique hormonal body regulation. I am so grateful to Dr. Wolny and her team for going above and beyond to correct and heal my fear of going to the gyno. Her administrative assistant is the most kind, patient, and attentive person you’ll ever meet. She’s Dr. Wolny’s right hand and always one step ahead.
Verified patient
Dr.Wolny was pleasant but the experience was mediocre. The office is dingy and run down. I waited 30 minutes because she was late and there was no receptionists to meet us prior to my arrival. My exam was rushed and I didn’t feel like I got a thorough work up. She didn’t even take a health history from me. I will be going elsewhere in the future.
Verified patient
She’s kind of a funny lady but does her job well! The receptionist is always really nice, the office is clean, and the wait is short. A HUGE benefit of this office is that it’s open late, past 5pm. That’s helpful to us who work 9-5 and need appointments later. I like Dr Wolney bc she listens and gets right to the point. But if you’d prefer your Doc to know you a bit better and be a little more warm, she might not be the right fit. Overall it’s a good place to go
Verified patient
Dr Wolny is one of the greatest doctors I have had. She has a wonderful personality, is caring, makes time for you, and is always in search of finding the correct diagnosis to a complex situation. I had gone to many doctors for my pelvic pain. She listened, investigated, and found the source of my pain, when numerous doctors simply dismissed me. I consider her a genius and expert in women’s health.
Verified patient
Amazing doctor and staff. Really took the time to listen and give me great advice. The receptionist was also amazing and was very apologetic for the wait. The wait was worth it and I’m glad I didn’t leave my appointment. I would highly suggest her!

Doctor Wolny made me feel very comfortable. Clearly communicated, listened, and explained all pertinent medical information. Would recommend.
Verified patient
Dr. Wolny and the office staff were incredible- efficient, professional and empathic. I scheduled an appointment this morning, and Dr. Wolny took me in this evening without hesitation. I had a cyst that needed to be resolved urgently and Dr. Wolny made the extra time to conduct a surgical procedure on the spot without needing to reschedule. She explained the procedure, prepared me and inquired for follow up to ensure everything is healing appropriately. It is evident she cares deeply about her work and provides utmost patient care. SO GRATEFUL to have found her!
I felt the appointment was way too rushed. I waited 45 minutes. The doctor didn’t ask any questions about my medical history & didn’t seem open to any questions I had. I have a history of sexual assault so being rushed through a pelvic exam is a nightmare. I was holding back tears. Will not be coming back
I highly recommend Dr. Wolny. She is straightforward, no-nonsense, and took me seriously. This was 100% the best experience I have ever had with a gyno.
Verified patient
Dr. Wolny was very warm and made me feel at ease right away. She gave me her undivided attention and answered all of my questions. It was the first time I went to a doctor and didn't feel rushed. I highly recommend!
So attentive and friendly.

amazing doctor I love her
Wonderful doctor, the best gynecologist I have ever had. I have struggled with getting doctors to listen to my chronic pain and bleeding issues for YEARS and she was wonderful. Listed and completely validated my symptoms, and was the first person to authorize clinical follow-up to take it seriously. Fixed the isssue.
Verified patient
Amazing doctor and staff. Dr. Wolny answered every question I had and more. Very sweet, kind, and professional. Highly Recommended!
Verified patient
I liked that the doctor saw me at the expected time and once inside the room, she went straight to the point, addressed all my needs, did the tests, and sent out my prescriptions. She was kind enough to look for a tool that better fit my size so that I would be more comfortable while she did the procedure (she even explained to me what she was doing as she did it). For someone who likes to get things out of the way as quickly as possible, she's the one!
Verified patient
This was a conveniently located office. I went for a standard Annual gyno visit. Quick, efficient and there was time for questions.
Verified patient
I am very sensitive down there and she was not gentile at all. She inspected me only with her hands, but she was very aggressive and actually ripped me. When I left I cried in my car because I felt like I had been assaulted.
i really liked the doctor she was quirky but the front desk receptionist was not wearing a mask and masks were an issue throughout the visit. it's unfortunate because i would have likely returned otherwise.
The doctor was very nice and so were her medical students. Making sure I was ok and asking if it was ok that they were in the room. So polite and respectful. Totally recommend coming here
No one was wearing a mask when entering. The doctor didn’t have her mask on. Didn’t feel very comfortable felt like they were in a rush to get over with.
Verified patient
Im used to very long wait times back home, therefore I thought that the 20-30 min was reasonable. They apologized for the wait time. Dr. Wolny was very friendly (yes see may seem sometimes in a hurry but nothing out of the ordinary) she ran the tests I needed on spot, she explained everything through the process, discussed my options and made me feel secure about them. Will definitely continue with her.
Verified patient
Dr. Wolny is so easy to talk to about my concerns and always answers all of my questions. I am was seen right at my appointment time and the front desk receptionist is always pleasant and welcoming.

Dr. Wolny was a wonderful doctor. The exam was quick and easy, and she made me feel comfortable. Very attentive and supportive
Verified patient
Dr. Yvonne was wonderful. I was able to get in very easily. I had additional questions come up, and she got on the phone for a tele health visit in the same day. She really helped me in a situation when I was in some pain. She was a great help.
Verified patient
Doctor was very preoccupied, goes in and out of the room for seemingly other things. Felt very rushed and dismissed some of my concerns. Not sure if I would go back.
I waited in the lobby for 30 minutes before I was told I was being 'put in a room' so I wanted to make sure that meant the doctor was seeing me soon, as I had a meeting in an hour. I expressed my concern and was seen right away! The front desk manager, nurse, and doctor were very friendly and helpful. The appointment was quick and to the point! I will be going back/would recommend this office and doctor.
Even though Dr. Wolny was very busy that day her office was very gracious and called me to double check my appointment time. She was very warm and friendly, and was a very clear communicator about the concerns I was having. She was very thorough and made sure that I understood what she was recommending. She was wonderful!!
Verified patient
I would not recommend this doctor. The appointment felt rushed. She diagnosed me with a disorder (after my appointment) without actually discussing the diagnosis with me. When speaking to her over the phone, she then said more testing would need to be done to confirm the diagnosis (which she had already “diagnosed” me with in my chart/medical records). She also had the incorrect weight and height in my chart (which was not taken at the doctor’s office during the visit). I had a terrible experience with her and would not recommend.
I've been going to Dr. Wolney for several years now and she is very kind, gental, and has a great sense of humor that makes me feel at ease during an awkward situation.
The doctor and receptionist are super nice. Doctor is very gentle and fast and understands how to do a pap on a woman who is anxious or has had bad experiences. I really appreciated that. However, I waited about 50 minutes past my appointment time which is frustrating, the building/office could use an upgrade. Ultimately I recommend the doctor for annual/pap. But they’d probably get really great business and better top notch experience if the actual office was done up nicer.
Verified patient
Dr. Wolny was very friendly and reassuring. She took the time to explain everything going on and made it a priority to put me at ease.
Verified patient
Friendly staff and doctor! I will be going back.
