Care Philosophy: ``Choosing a career in pediatrics was an easy decision for me. I can't imagine a greater gift than working with children and adolescents every day. Pediatrics naturally lends itself to the principles of prevention and health education, and I aim to incorporate these values into each visit. I appreciate that each patient has a unique combination of medical, social and emotional needs over time, and I look forward to providing individualized, holistic care to meet these needs. Ultimately, it is my goal to provide each patient with optimal medical care. I also believe that my responsibilities as a pediatrician extend outside of each clinic visit, and those include advocating for the health and well-being of all children in my community.``

Care Philosophy: Jennifer Wolf, MD, is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist who specializes in gynecologic oncology.

Taking a patient-centered, evidence-based approach, Dr. Wolf gives patients information about their disease and treatment options so they can make the best decisions for their lives. She recognizes that not every patient fits the same treatment mold, and she wants every patient to feel comfortable expressing their questions and needs. Dr. Wolf is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, Society of Gynecologic Oncology, and American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In 2021 she was awarded the University of Cincinnati Residency Gynecologic Oncology Award. Away from work, Dr. Wolf enjoys hiking, traveling and spending time with her family.

Care Philosophy: With 30 years of family practice experience I see myself as my patient's advisor in managing and choosing wisely in their health care decisions. Each individual is unique and needs to have their own input in medical decisions. I tend to encourage diet, exercise and natural approaches and try to minimize use of medication when possible. I discourage narcotics or tranquilizers on a chronic basis as my experience is patients just develop tolerance and now have two problems instead of one.
