Wolfe M.D. moved his specialty ophthalmology practice to Marshalltown, reportedly because it was located along a busy railroad line in a central location in the state. Wolfe Eye Clinic today has more than 50 doctors bringing patient care to over 40 communities throughout Iowa including 12 main clinics in Ames, Carroll, Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Fort Dodge, Iowa City, Marshalltown, Ottumwa, Pleasant Hill, Spencer, Waterloo and West Des Moines and 12 Wolfe Family Vision Centers across the state.
