Dr. Volpicelli runs very late on a consistent basis, but he is a great doctor. He will spend extra time if needed with his patients. He is extremely compassionate and is an excellent gastroenterologist.

Dr. Volpicelli needs to retire already! Every visit, I am told that "he's running late". This is an understatement! It takes an average of 1 - 3 hours to get placed in a room, then you have to wait another 30 minutes + to be seen. Then, once he's in the room with you, he's constantly interrupted by his staff and he is constantly answering his cell phone (mainly accepting calls from his wife). He's also rusty with his diagnosis and constantly confuses my case with other cases. If you see this physician, you MUST get copies of his reports and check them VERY closely! There are usually discrepancies that need to be corrected.
