I had severe hip pain prior to seeing Dr. Volpicelli. He was the third doctor I went to see. He was extremely knowledgable, conservative and thorough. After He gained my confidence and we tried all conservative treatments, he operated on my hip. I feel like a new person! He's the BEST doctor. You do not have to look any further. He is the true definition of an excellent physician!!!

A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Volpicelli. I found Dr. V. and his staff to be warm and receptive. He listened to my problem then gave me his diagnosis. I did what he said and I've been pain free ever since! He is a miracle worker!!! I am so thankful that I found him and I highly recommend him and his staff. You are in great hands.

My 86 year old mother fell and broke her hip. Even though we received authorization from her insurance provider, Dr. Volpicelli refused to do surgery on her because he didn't get the authorization in the form of a personally written letter from her carrier. Thumbs down for this doctor who has absolutely no compassion. I think he should reread the oath he took.

Problems with healing after surgery and pain control were terrible. I was chastised for getting a second opinion. Tendon trouble was found on the same Tendon that was operated on 5 months earlier and he refused to repair the tendon he was supposed to have fixed the first time!!! VERY UNHAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!
