James D Wolfe, MD

I have had an itching problem go the skin with no rash for the last 12 years.
The itching has gotten worse in the last few years.
I went to a allergist about 7 years ago and he was not able to come up
with a diagnosis.
My friend recommended Dr Wolf who she has been going to for years?
I went to the doctor a month ago. After explaining my symptoms, he knew exactly what the problem was. Dr. Wolf diagnosed it as a auto immune disease and prescribed a specific antihistamine. This drug was like a miracle. the itching has decreased significantly.
I would highly recommend Dr. Wolf
He is very knowledgeable and has wonderful bedside manner.

I just went back to Dr. Wolfe, we first met 1999 — 2009. My spring allergies were acting up and I do want to get 2 dogs, so I needed his expert advise.
What a pleasure to see him. He meticulously went through all my history year by year, did the examination and some tests. I was very impressed with his attention to detail.
Don’t know yet if I can get the dogs, but I trust Dr. Wolfe’s advise and treatment.

I am very frustrated, I have been going to Dr. Wolf since I was a child and yes, he is a GREAT doctor!!!
The last two scheduled visits (I arrived on time to) I had to wait for more than 45 minutes while watching people that arrived after me get seen before me. This was the second and the last time I had waited to be seen. I ended up leaving because I have a work schedule and took time out of my lunch to seek care that I didn’t get.
The very nice desk representative apologized and told me that I could be waiting for an additional 20 minutes before being seen. I understand that some days can be busier then some, but what’s the point of scheduling an appointment if you won’t be seen in a timely manner?
I am sad to say that I am now on the hunt for a new allergy doctor and won’t be coming back.

This is my first ever review on any site. Im writing this review because of the worst experience I ever had.
My spouse had mild asthma attack, I suggested him to visit Asthma allergic clinic. He was given some medication. Dr Wolfe wanted him to go through some tests. As this being his first time in the clinic he signed for the tests. No one ever intimated him how much would be the cost of the test. They ran some tests on the first day and asked him to come on the next day, as insurance was not covering it in single day. They colllected copay on both the days. After few weeks they send the bill which is 740 $.
When I approached the billing department all they say is my spouse hasnt asked for the amount while they were conducting the tests. When I ask them why were we not intimated, they say they are offended with my tone and i’m threatening them.
Being in medical field I expect some respect from the doctors and people working in the clinic. The lady who ever spoke to me was really rude on me.

Dr Wolfe is a very experienced asthma/​bronchitis specialist. He knows his subject very well. My daughter has been visiting his clinic for the last 4 years. We got a recommendation for him in one of the company message boards, where a patient who has gained from his services had recommended him. My daughter had acute pulmonary problems — Bronchitis/​Asthma. She could hardly do any sports, breathing was an issue, could not sleep well and so on. We went to Dr. Wolfe and since then, my daughter is now very well, doesn’t have any sleeping problems, her lungs can get air to the maximum capacity, and I see a significant change in her physical capabilities. I would highly recommend him if you have any pulmonary problems. Another thing I like about him is, even though he is quite busy, he always gets us in if there is attention needed, the same day. Awesome and Highly recommended.

A doctor who says to you «I will never let you suffer again» gets 5 stars in my book! I am so used to chronic bronchitis that I had been living with it for months on end! No antibiotics could help me until they just went away after 6 months or so. Recently I’ve started developing hives to so many different things that after a blood test, my family doctor told me to go find an allergist. Among the list of allergist, Dr. Wolfe stuck out to me. After suffering 3 days without any antihistamines, I was finally seen by Dr. Wolfe and given a bunch of tests! I was finally diagnosed with asthma, which I had no idea I even had astma! He was so easy to talk to and made the whole experience very comfortable. And I was given specifics of all the things I am allergic to! Skin test, blood tests, and everything was done. The first initial treatment is a few hours, but they let you know that in advanced so you can plan your appointment accordingly. The nurses at the Blossom Hill office and the Moorpark office are so sweet and easy to talk to! There wasn’t an awkward silence when they are poking at you so you forget the whole thing! I would definitely recommend Dr. Wolfe to anyone in search of an allergist in the Bay Area.

I have had a very serious illness and reacted to some meds I had been given in the hospital. My primary care doctor asked for him to evaluate me, which he did. He got to the root of the problem, was patient and caring and has been that way when I returned to see him at his office. He is extremely knowledgeable and very active in his field. I would definitely recommend him!

I was referred to Dr Wolfe by a cousin. I have gone to him for the past 3 years when the allergy season kicks in. I remember when I showed up the first time with a lot of allergy issues, he came in and had a great bedside manner. He was very personable and I felt comfortable quickly. After his exam, he jokingly said — you’re a mess inside there. let’s get you all better. He knows he stuff and was very thorough. He new exactly was to test for and got me going in the right direction. He’s busy like any other typical doctor, but he focuses on you while you are there and give you 100%. I have had great results every visit. His diagnostics have been spot on every time, even to things that were not allergy related but caused by something else. Though my allergies are pretty classic seasonal, he has helped me to understand them and manage them.

I was referred to him for chronic sinus issues potentially caused by allergies. He was great at the start of my appointment– he’s energetic, friendly and knows what he’s doing. Highly efficient and friendly office staff and nurses too, which made for a pretty nice visit overall.
However, the reason for the 2 stars is the rushed and lack of time feeling i was left with. After all my tests, he comes in, announces «So, the tests look like _​_​_​. You don’t have _​and do have _​.»
When I started to ask for details on what I do have, a long-​term course of treatment, life style changes or things to stay away from etc., he cut me off with: «Here, come stand over here and I’ll write it down for you.» Proceeds to say the name loudly and slowly as he writes it down, and hands me over to a nurse to be given free samples.
I can understand a physician being busy, but fail to understand this attitude that seems to think it is okay to brush people off like this. This would be unacceptable if a mechanic did it to my car, much less a doctor treating my symptoms this way.

I have very mixed feeling about Dr. Wolfe! I was referred to him by my physical therapist because I had repeat bad sinus infection and an annoying cough for months and months and months… My longest run was from Oct 2010-​Feb 2011 with 5 different antibiotics!
On one hand I am very mad at him for not listening to what my needs are. He was all about pumping me full of medications that I KNEW I wasn’t going to react well with. I told him I was allergic to Eurythamycin and he prescribed Bioxin to me. Well I found out after I almost died that Bioxin is a much stronger form of Eurythamycin! When I saw him for a follow up, he told me to take a break from the medication and start again in a week! WTF? Did you just not listen to me, I almost died! I decided to not go back to him and find alternative treatment. I did find an amazing ENT who did a live sinus culture to find out exactly what bacteria was causing all the problems. I am now on nothing but natural cures (raw juicing) and have not been sick since February!
On the other hand, even though the medication almost killed me, my cough and sinus infection are gone!

Was daiagnosed with COPD by primary and local hospital. Went to Dr. Wolfe for second opinion. He took one look at xrays and said I had large lungs for small body and expected I had been mis-​diagnosed. He conducted series of tests, including lung capacity that showed Ihad 125% of normal. He explained everything to me, was incredible thorough, great attitude, very smart, am recommending him to everyone I knwo who has pulmonary issues. This doctor knows what he is doing –

I had severe cough that wouldnt go away for months. Life was hell. No amount of narcotics in the cough syrup would make it stop but thats all my doctors gave me. Until he asked me to come see Dr Wolfe just to see if he has a different opinions.
Then within an hour, he told me I have off the chart severe asthma and instructed me to use an inhaler. The cough went away in a week. We also did extensive scratch test to make sure what are environmental allergens that would trigger allergic reaction and my asthma.
Go see Dr. Wolfe, he demeanor may seem somewhat arrogant but he’s one sharp and thorough doctor.

I also [heart] Dr Wolfe. I’ve had lifelong allergy and asthma problems and he’s been my favorite doc of the 50 different docs ive carted off to since I was a youngster. Why?
0. Knows what he’s doing
1. Has tons of experience
2. Always finds out what’s wrong with me
3. Not afraid to take measures to make me better
4. He’s energetic
5. gentle but direct
6. His staff loves him
7. He’s a funny dude
Warning: He has a lot of patients… so it will seem like he’s running into see you and running out the door. If you want some more time just say «oh hey i have some questions» and he will have no problems addressing any concerns you might have.
awesome dude, go see him!
