List of Keith R. Wolfson's Reviews
I love Dr. Wolfson! He caught my coronary blockage before it was too late. He talks TO you, not AT you, and he talks in a way that makes sense. I'm very satisfied with the care that I received from Dr. Wolfson.
I had a very poor experience with Dr. Wolfson and I am obliged to share with this experience anyone actually considering his care. First, let’s discuss the most egregious part about Dr.Wolfson and it has to do with his bedside manner, primarily an inability to listen and heightened sensitivity. Since when does using the word “timeout” equate to being spoken to like a child? As I tried to explain multiple time to Dr. Wolfson but to no avail, I was simply asking for a pause so I could speak (apparently your thoughts do not matter here). From there things escalated further and got rather heated, but as I stated to Dr. Wolfson there are boundaries that I will not allow anyone to cross, nor will I allow anyone to speak to me disrespectfully, doctor or not. As for the actual care, I was not satisfied with this either (not sure which is more damaging the manner, or the care provided). Dr. Wolfson ordered four standard tests and one of them came back negative. However, to my surprise he could not give a proper diagnosis as to why I had been experiencing interment chest pain and shortness of breath (stress, really?). Over 20 years of practice and this is the best that you can do along with prescribing Crestor? Anyway, after I consulted with my internal doctor, he recommended that I insist on a CT Angiogram. Dr. Wolfson was of the opinion, why and that this procedure was not necessary. Fortunately, unlike Dr. Wolfson, I have complete confidence in my primary care and got the test performed. The test did reveal that I have a something more serious that needs further serious medical attention. So again, I cannot be any more adamant, but I do not recommend Dr. Wolfson to anyone for the significant reasons stated above, didn’t listen, didn’t trust his decisions and did not feel respected.
I have been a patient of Dr. Wolfson for approximately 12 years. I would highly recommend him as an extremely qualified and professional cardiologist. He is excellent at providing thorough and thoughtful explanations that I could easily understand for procedures that I have needed and completed over the years. He has always patiently explained test results and answered all questions that I have had. When required by my other non-cardiac medical needs, he has fully and timely cooperated with my other physicians. His support staff in the two offices I have visited have always been very professional, courteous, and helpful.
I am happy to recommend Dr. Wolfson to anyone who is looking for a "great" Cardiologist! He is patient, caring, and very knowledgeable. Dr. Wolfson takes the time to listen to what you have to say and works with you to find a resolution. His support staff does a fantastic job and they work as a team.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wolfson. He was kind, gentle, and very knowledgeable not to mention through in his efforts to diagnose my signs and symptoms. I did not feel rushed and above all he listened to what I had to say. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone who is looking for a competent and professional Cardiologist.
One of the most caring doc's I know. Takes his time to explain things in terms I understand, and I never feel rushed, or unheard. I wish all my health providers were like Dr. Wolfson. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Wolfson to friends and family. His nursing team and support staff are also top notch, they always greet you with a friendly smile and make you feel like family.

Shocked at these negative reviews. Please don’t let these one sided, clearly disgruntled, venting sessions affect your decision to choose Dr. Wolfson as your cardiologist. He is one of the most intelligent, caring and skilled docs I know.

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
