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.

I saw Dr Wolford for over 15 years. Unfortunately she quit practicing in June 2024. I don’t know where she is though I keep searching. None of the websites, including hers, are up to date. I do miss her.

Great Doctor
Dr. Wolford paid attention to my lab work and was able to help discover cancer in my prostate early. Despite the fact I had no symptoms or problems and appeared to be healthy. I a extreamly grateful for her and what she does.

I have never seen a dr less interested in your health! You better make up your mind to the fact she will have you making as many appointments as she can. She is demeaning and constantly telling you she doesn’t make enough money! I would save myself lots of grief and look for another physician!

I have two relatives who both used Dr. Wolford as a primary care physician. Red flags were raised on many things: her complaining about how little money she made, refusing to see you for more that one issue at a time, not referring to specialists, etc. One relative developed Covid 19 this last year. Dr. Wolford refused to see her for treatment or even refer to where she could be seen. She had to rely on very pricey urgent care for treatment. What is the point of having an MD if they refuse to treat or refer you? During annual exams, there is none of the basics that are the expected scope of an exam; heart and lung exam with stethoscope, head, neck and shoulder exam, skin exam, breast exam and pap smear for women, updating of any needed booster shots. In fact NO visits included a heart and lung exam via stethoscope. This is a very basic part of most office visits. Most visits consisted of the MD sitting at the computer going over meds while mostly ignoring the reason for the visit.

My 3rd visit to Dr. Wolford. My second annual physical today. The ease of open conversation with her is refreshing. From topics of birth control to menopause, she doesn’t judge. I’m happy to have her on my health team and grow old with her.

I decided to see Dr. Wolford after I had been trying hard to find a doctor that I really liked for a few years. I was feeling pretty hopeless finding a doctor that would listen and understand me, validate how I was feeling and take my concerns seriously. I feel like nowadays doctors just brush you off and you’re just another number to them. But with Dr. Wolford I walked out of her office with so much hope and a feeling of relief. I felt like I was talking to a mom... she heard me and reassured me and validated me all at the same time. She took a good 30 minutes during my first appointment to really explain what I didn’t understand and took the time to get a good scope of my general health and my concerns and she even referred me to a couple specialists that day. I am excited to have her as my new PCP and I can’t see myself changing doctors anytime soon. The office is clean and nice and the nurses are all very sweet too. I really hope it stays this way because I am a very happy patient

Dr. Wolford’s capacity to provide true compassion and excellent care at each and every visit, regarding whatever health issue I’ve had, is what has kept me her patient for over 20 years. I’ve recommended her to the people I love most because I trust her to care for them equally well. Unlike some doctors I’ve had, she takes the time to really listen to me. She answers whatever questions I have to make sure that when I leave her office, I understand and am fully informed regarding my health. Plus, she’s just a really nice person who has a great sense of humor!

Dr. Wolford is the best Primary Provider I have ever had. I started seeing her about 5 years ago. She has helped me in many ways and is managing a few medical conditions of mine. Her staff is thorough and follows through on refill request information from Insurance Companies promptly. I have found her to have an excellent bedside manner. She has showed me real care and compassion. I adore her. Simply the BEST!

Dr Wolford was recommended by a friend. The entire staff from the front office to the back was helpful, polite & though professional, warm. The Dr. was on time and addressed my 2 concerns at my appointment without rushing me. The follow up & further tests at 3 different facilities were scheduled for me before i left. As a former health care worker, I appreciate that in order to stay on time & provide a good diagnosis, it's good to handle things 1 at a time, in order of urgency. A good find here.

Dr. Wolford is kind, compassionate and understanding. As to the comment about only treating one or two conditions at a time. She remains on time and I have never had to wait. Also I got in the next day to continue any other concerns. Recommend her highly.

A lovley lady I'm sure. However, she cannot or will not address more than one issue at a time. You must make another appointment . So if you have the insurance, time, and money, you might get help. Do not even THINK of making a " list" of your concerns. And when you go in for your free yearly exam, you will get a long list of things you cannot ask about.Hopefully she won't start charging to park. Good luck.

Dr. Wolford is absolutely wonderful. She is one of the most personable and truly caring doctors I have ever met. She takes the time to really listen, she never rushes through an appointment and she is completely open to discussions on personal care and what I, the patient, feel would work best for me. She is incredibly intelligent, yet down to earth. A wonderful doctor indeed!
