“I have wanted to write this review for almost 5 months. Each time I began to compose something I couldn’t put into words the type of person Dr. Michael Wolfe is. Frankly, I find it almost insulting to use the title “doctor” or even “surgeon”. Not because he isn’t an incredible one, but rather, because of the way he went above and beyond my expectation and experience of what a doctor (or surgeon) is.”
