Richard B. Wolf, DO

He came in after my ultrasound and came in hot all about my age (over 35) and chromosome issues etc. I had nipt and other screenings and everything looks great so I was wondering where he was going with this... basically he has to say it all for me to sign yes or no for amnio, but he went about it all wrong. He should have went over my actual appt I was there for first then go over the form I had to sign. He got me all worked up for no reason.

In 2016 my husband and I were expecting our first child. We had our nuchal screening and our results were below the state standard, but higher than the hospital's standard. Dr. Wolf came in and told us there was bad news and the results indicated potential for chromosome disorder or structural (heart) problem. At that point, I started to cry and asked if I had to make a follow-up appointment for the next step. He said "Oh no, you are going to speak with our genetic counselor now." I was then shuffled into the genetic counselor, then and there, whom proceeded to whip out pamphlets of all the possible chromosomal disorders, and gave me the option of a blood test or amnio to further determine. I opted for the blood test, which was given next door, and that revealed NO abnormalities (results took about a week - longest week of my life). The entire process was extremely traumatic, and should have been dealt with MUCH differently. When I tell other nurses and physicians about what happened… they are appalled. I would never recommend this facility - nor this physician. The bedside manner was poor, and the entire process was tasteless especially in terms of dealing with a pregnant woman. I am clearly still not over this - which is why I write this review nearly 2 years later.

Dr. Wolf is not my OBGYN delivering my child, he is the doctor screening for any problems after an ultrasound. After my first ultrasound and screening for any abnormalities in my fetus turned out negative, my OBGYN doctor (doctor delivering my baby) said that there is no major real concern he see's to go further with a second or third abnormality screening. I had explained this to Dr. Wolf after my anatomy screening: the abnormality screenings are optional and only mandatory if an abnormality is suspected. I have enough worries as a pregnant expectant mother in regards to my growing child in my womb, and after explaining that my "actual" doctor saw no reason to go further with anymore abnormality screenings Dr. Wolf's expression was disapproving as if he saw a problem when their was not any and causing excessive worry in both my husband and I. Dr. Wolf also followed his expression with a remark that sounded as if my actual doctor were wrong. The first abnormality screening turned out… negative (there was no need for Dr. Wolf to cause more worry)...It was as if to me and my husband that Dr. Wolf acted disappointed after each ultrasound if "there was nothing wrong" when a doctor should be otherwise happy if there were no problems, it is as if Dr. Wolf was disappointed and each time everything turned out okay after an ultrasound he would explain everything was okay....then act like he found something wrong where my "actual" doctor said there should be no concern. It is a disgusting feeling to have a doctor like this one my husband and I encountered that acts disappointed if he finds nothing wrong. Almost as if he hopes bad things for your baby...I am not saying theses things because of increased sensitivity due to hormones during pregnancy...My husband and I always try to see where others are coming from, especially a doctor. But, Dr. Wolf rubbed my husband the wrong way too, and he wants me to call my OBGYN to explain how we feel so Dr. Wolf can run the results of my ultrasounds over with him, instead of my husband and I having to feel the disgust of encountering a doctor that seems disappointed over "finding nothing wrong" with our child, and causing excessive stress on both my husband and I.

He explained about my baby's diagnosis in a way I could understand. He showed me the ultrasound and pointed out what was wrong with my baby and told me what would be done to help my baby after delivery.

He delivered my first child and is not a very good listener. He didn't seem to care that I wanted to explore options other than a c-section. He had a rather disapproving demeanor during the entire delivery. I also had a large amount of placenta left in my uterus that required surgery 2 weeks later.

When trying to deliver my 3rd child, he didn't listen to any of my requests- ie. to contact my own Dr., to break my water, I was in worse pain after delivery than labor. He left several cm of placenta in me- didn't listen when I was in pain, let me leave the hospital without checking the source of my pain. I became very ill, having to go back to the hospital and have IV antibiotics and surgery and couldn't nurse my son or care for him and my other kids for at least a month!
