Dr Wolfe is fabulous! She's smart, listens to her patients and carefully considers the best ways to take care of them. I've seen her for nearly 20 years and I think she's wonderful. I know I'm in very good hands. Her nurse Stephanie is a treat too! Very thorough and is very good about getting back to me with answers to my questions.

As previously stated, the doc seemed annoyed. She told me the things patients always get wrong in an annoyed voice. When I responded to information she had given me I apparently had something wrong and she was so annoyed she said ma’am MAAM! In a Karen voice, cutting me off and scolding me. I simply didn’t understand something she had said as it was new info and complicated medical things that frankly, she wasn’t explaining well. She was annoyed with me n it seemed many other patients as she gripes about all the things people don’t understand about her field. Frankly, she had no passion for caring for people let alone tolerance to answer questions and I didn’t feel like I could trust her with medical decisions. She just seemed like she wanted everyone to go away as soon as possible. Her fellow dr [ ], however, was quite attuned, thorough and pleasant

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
