    Dr. Wolferz strives to take a whole-person, lifestyle medicine approach to patient care. He practices evidenced-based holistic care and believes our nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and social connections are the foundation of our health. His clinical practice includes taking care of patients across the lifespan for preventive, acute, and chronic disease management. Dr. Wolferz is trained in prescribing medication-assisted treatment for addiction (opioid use, alcohol, and tobacco), HIV PrEP, and psychiatric medications while being skilled in office procedures such as joint injections, long-acting contraception, and minor skin procedures. His research interests include whole food, plant-predominant nutrition for chronic disease remission. His medical interests also include exercise as medicine, public health policy toward active transportation, and the impact of community-oriented physicians.

    When outside the clinic, he enjoys trail and marathon running, hiking in the Wasatch, and cooking for friends and family. He competes in local races and loves meeting friends new and old at these events. You will likely find him riding his bike around his new home in Salt Lake City so make sure to wave hello.

    If I tell everyone he was so wonderful, I will never be able to get in to him again! But really it was so wonderful to have a Dr. take the time to listen and problem solve with you. I realize RVU's make it hard for a Dr. to take time to care and LISTEN. Dr. Wolferz did. I didn't feel like I accomplished nothing when I left.

    I've perceived health care as a partnership between my actions and the physicians knowledge. Communication is key, and Dr Wolferz is very effective, listening as much as he spoke. I am very impressed with his style.
