Estes Park Health’s newest specialist to care for patients at EPH is Connie Wolf, M.D., a urologist who offers both medicinal and surgical interventions.

“I’m super excited to be up here,” Dr. Wolf stressed. “Everyone at the hospital has been so welcoming and warm. It’s got a really nice close-knit small-town feel. I can’t wait to meet the patients.”

Dr. Wolf will see patients every other Tuesday at Estes Park Health. While she works in the Denver area the rest of the time, she is eager to serve in a small hospital setting.

“I worked in a similar type of community earlier in my career,” she noted. “Something that I really missed was being in a small hospital setting and getting to know the patients and the providers well.”

Urologists deal with a broad range of conditions and treatments, including urinary tract symptoms, prostate problems, and kidney stones.

“Some of the tests we can conduct here include urinalyses, flow studies for urination, and procedures like looking inside the bladder which we do in the clinic,” Dr. Wolf explained. “I will be doing some surgeries here, focusing on outpatient surgeries. These include circumcision, hydrocelectomy (removal of a fluid-filled sac around the testicle), and kidney stone surgeries.”

When Dr. Wolf went to medical school, she intended on specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. When she went through the OB/GYN rotation, she realized that particular specialty wasn’t for her.

“Then I met up with a pediatric urologist and I found the specialty fascinating,” Dr. Wolf recalled. “It’s a way for a physician to perform surgery, but also have a long-term relationship with his or her patients. There is both the medical and the surgical aspect of the practice. If you can help somebody to urinate more easily or just at all, it can really improve the quality of life.”
