“I was in great hands with Dr. Wolin and Taylor. They were incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, wonderfully kind, patient (I asked many questions and some repeats!), their diagnoses (PFPS) and treatment were spot on, and I left the office pain-free and hopeful I can compete in my next marathon! I am so happy I came to see them and only wish I made an appointment sooner. I highly recommend to any athletes looking for answers and pain relief!”

To the point, but reassuring and made me less nervous.
September 12, 2017Dorothy Y.Verified patient
The first receptionist I talked to was rude and seemed bothered that i was there, the rest of the staff was pleasant. I was not asked for prior treatment documentation until I was in the exam room and everyone seemed annoyed that I did not know to prep them beforehand. Doctor was knowledgeable but didn't actually answer any of my questions or concerns, then just kinda left me in the room with no direction on if I was good to leave.

Dr Wolin was thorough, attentive and patient in helping me understand my diagnosis and required follow-up steps. I would highly recommend this practice!
September 11, 2025Solomon G.Verified patient
I came in to review an MRI and Dr. Wolin entered the room with a physician assistant, Taylor Nogiec, and a university student, without asking my permission first. Taylor didn’t acknowledge me at all and acted like I wasn’t there. They immediately began discussing my private medical history in front of the student without consent. Only after I interrupted to ask why there were so many people in the room did they stop and ask for permission.
Dr. Wolin couldn’t access my MRI images himself and had to call Taylor back in to help. His interpretation of the MRI didn’t match the radiologist’s report, which made me question the quality of care. His treatment plan was vague—offering only pain management or physical therapy through his own office. When I said I wanted time to think, he seemed annoyed, and he had no alternative suggestions when I asked. I left feeling uncomfortable and unsupported, and I will be seeking care elsewhere.

The apprencite doctor was amazing and she gave me exactly what i needed, along with more advice than dr wolin granted. Dr. Wolin came into the waiting room dizzy and almost falling over, clearly to the distress of his staff, and was obviously also absent-minded, did not listen to his staff (in a rude manner), and did a shotty job examining me (tested my range of motion with almost no urgency to get it right, obviously i would know if he got it wrong). Seemed rushed in his examination of my xrays, and did not seem to take his time with understanding my history and illness. It was clear his staff did not have a positive attitude towards him, but he was more or less respectful to me as a patient. Something was fishy about my visit, if you go to see this doctor i would recommend requesting to see one of his staff, not Wolin himself.

I was waiting for around 80 minutes in the lobby AFTER my scheduled appointment time and they still had me waiting so I fully cancelled it. I do not recommend this provider.

The consultant doctor went out and assigned me to other junior doctor which is not acceptable and what's the use of booking an appointment if he left not even treating mr

Not a hand/wrist expert despite being listed as one. Just wasted 2.5 hours of my time to be refered to another doctor and delaying actual care

Staff was very kind and helpful but overall the doctor was unclear, forgetful, and took questions personally instead of explaining clearly his thought process. Would not recommend.

Center for Athletic Medicine has a wonderful staff and Dr. Wolin has always provided myself and my family the best care for over 40 years.
July 29, 2024Jason H.Verified patient
The doctor is very experienced, attentive and friendly. The facility is comprehensive and clean. And above all the staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. I really needed a good doctor and a practice and I found one.
May 30, 2024Amit G.Verified patient
The entire staff and Dr Wolin made a terrible situation better. Thorek ER misdiagnosed an arm fracture as a wrist sprain and this crew not only helped relieve the pain with a proper splint but also assisted with HR required documentation for work accommodation on the same day. Very grateful for all the help. Can’t recommend them enough
