Dr. Aaron Wohl
Dr. Aaron Wohl, a distinguished figure in the realm of emergency medicine, was born on May 14, 1974, in Durham, North Carolina. With a career that spans several facets of medical advocacy and community service, he is a paragon of dedication and resilience. Now rooted in North Fort Myers, Florida, his professional life intertwines with his calling to service, marked by a tenacious spirit of advocacy and an insatiable quest for knowledge across diverse disciplines. From his early days in Perrine, Florida, he showed a keen interest in connecting with people and a deep-seated eagerness to learn. He financed his aviation passion by working at a Kendall pet store, a commitment that enabled him to earn his private pilot's license by age 17. His foray into the medical arena began as he worked alongside his father, an emergency nurse, adopting the role of an emergency room technician during his college years. His academic prowess was evident as he graduated Magna cum Laude with a B.S. in Biology from Florida International University in 1998 and later as he placed in the top 10% of his class at the University of Florida College of Medicine in 2001.
In Fort Myers since 2005, he has taken on the opioid epidemic with tenacity and foresight. Initiating life-saving protocols in 2008 and forging crucial legislative partnerships, he has been a driving force in making the antidote Naloxone widely available. His leadership also gave rise to a groundbreaking Buprenorphine induction protocol in 2015, revolutionizing the response to opioid overdoses directly from the emergency room. Beyond clinical work, Dr. Aaron is a vocal advocate for the rights of emergency physicians, ensuring that patient care prevails over administrative agendas. His medical practice extends across Cape Coral, Punta Gorda, and Port Charlotte, where he's currently spearheading efforts to streamline the transition of ER patients with substance use disorders into ongoing outpatient treatment
