Get to know Radiologist Dr. Farrah J. Wolf, who serves patients in Boca Raton, Florida.

Well-versed in the field of radiology, Dr. Wolf is affiliated with Boca Radiology Group, seeing patients at Boca Raton Regional Hospital in Florida. She is the first radiologist to perform MRI/Ultrasound guided fused transperineal biopsy in the state of Florida, and also specializes in prostate artery embolization for the treatment of BPH.

Boca Radiology Group (BRG) conducts approximately 550,000 procedures yearly in a multi-site practice. All of their physicians have met the rigorous standards of major medical and residency training programs and are board-certified by the American Board of Radiology. The group is dedicated to providing the highest quality imaging services available utilizing state-of-the-art equipment.

Growing up in the Southern New England area, Dr. Wolf graduated from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island with a Bachelor of Science. She then went on to attend the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, where she earned her medical degree. Her training continued with a one year internship in general surgery and subsequently a four year residency in diagnostic radiology, both at Rhode Island Hospital/Brown Medical School. With a strong interest in performing minimally invasive, image-guided procedures, she chose to pursue a one year fellowship in vascular and interventional radiology at the same educational venue.

With an additional desire to perfect her diagnostic skills, focusing on CT and MRI of the abdomen and pelvis, she completed an additional one year fellowship in body imaging at Rhode Island Hospital/Brown Medical School. During her second year of fellowship, she was able to further her initial research pursuits in image-guided tumor ablation, while gaining increased clinical experience.

With an unwavering commitment to her specialty, the doctor is board-certified in diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). The ABR is a not-for-profit physician-led organization that oversees the certification and ongoing professional development of specialists in diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, radiation oncology, and medical physics.

Radiology refers to the field of medicine that uses non-invasive imaging scans to diagnose a patient. A radiologist is a physician who uses imaging methodologies to diagnose and manage patients and provide therapeutic options.

As a testament of her dedication to her field, Dr. Wolf has been the recipient of the Patients’ Choice Award (2020, 2018, 2017), On-Time Doctor Award (2020, 2018), and Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2020, 2018).
