I was shocked and sadden by the loss of our wonderful pediatrician. I remember when he joined the practice. He was always one of my first choices because of his kind demeanor, and he was always a plethora of information. God bless his entire family.
I am 22 years old Dr. Wolfson was the only doctor who ever cared about me at my lowest he wanted to help me both mentally and physically he gave me the advice of health the advice of always valuing what matters the most. He was an angel to me a guardian and a almost like a father figure he’s part of a reason why I made a drastic change of lifestyle and choices we lost more than a doctor we lost an angel. I pray a lot and he always pops up on my mind his kind smile his care his face of genuine concern all qualities that 99% of doctors didn’t have. But I somewhat feel at peace knowing he’s sitting asides gods table another angel in the sky. Bless his kids his wife and his family. God bless rest in peace to the best not just doctor but human being. Rest in peace to an angel.
I am 22 years old my whole childhood Dr Wolfson took care of me looked out for me cared about my diet health and at my lowest in terms of mental health his look of worry always stuck with me the genuine care and compassion he was more than a doctor he was a guardian angel here to look out for us he put so much meaning into life all he gave was good to this world. Two years later he still is on my mind almost everyday. Why? Because I got far better in life both mentally and physically and his words care smile kindness compassion concern always sticks to me. Part of me feels better knowing that he’s an angel sitting besides God in heaven. Bless him his family and his kids. We truly lost the greatest human being.
