"Hands are tricky." My 15 year old son's trainer told me over the phone. A promising two sport athlete, it was the first I heard of the pain he was experiencing. An x-ray, diagnosis (fractured scaphoid) he had surgery locally in NJ in March of 2021. Recovery, PT and follow up at six months revealed the initial procedure did not take His mother and I panicked at the offering, same surgery again or shave the bone shortening hand. Enter Dr. Wolfe. Dr. Wolfe offered two other options for surgery, a bit more detailed and intricate, along with a multi pronged post op approach to help the wrist heal. The positive attitude from Dr. Wolfe and Carly sustained us through the semi ordeal....from the front office to the support team (including billing) the experience was a dream come true Post op, I've felt surrounded by a team that cared about their profession, but more importantly, cared about my son. Dr. Wolfe truly changed the course of his life.

It shows a lot about a Doctor who opts out of Medicare, it must be all about the $.....

Dr. Wolfe is amazing! I have had Arthritis (since childhood) for years. The damage it causes is not just to the bones but the rough surface it created ruptured all my tendons in my wrist that operate my fingers. I could not do much with that hand at all and I even had pain, which I don't normally do. So I was a tough case. It was so refreshing having a doctor that understood the temperament of an arthritic who could joke and laugh and has a hard time admitting to pain. He listened to how I wanted to be able to function and I couldn't be happier with what he did...rerouting ligaments so I could use my hand again. He was completely thorough, kind, dedicated and made it happen! Wish I went to him years ago!

I've been to multiple specialists for the past year for my wrist and every single health care professional have yet to identify what's wrong with me and when I came to see Mr. Wolfe I was met with mock and insult for not knowing my own problem. I specifically came to see him for answers and instead was met with laughter and ridicule despite the fact I only have two days in NYC. Instead of empathy and understanding I was laughed at by him and his PA. He did apologize after I vented out my frustration but regardless I am left with no answer and have only one more day to figure out my health. I didn't meet with a doctor hence the lack of proper title, I just met someone else who wasted my time and spent it criticizing me.

Questions & Answers

Does Dr Wolfe accept medical insurance or lawsuit money? I have Medicare but will be suing for my wrist fracture & subsequent screwups. How much does wrist surgery cost? I hate being crippled & in constant pain.

No, it's out of pocket. I'm a lucky case where since no one will do anything for my arm my insurance is planing to cover no matter what the cost. However I'm pretty sure if you get the lawsuit money yourself you can pay him with that,

Usually thinning does not need treatment.

I've faced accident on 25th March 2011 and I was suffered from brachial plexus on that time but we operated in 2012 no improvement after surgery. Now is it possible to improve my hand? I am just 24 year old.
