I am a 67 year old man who is not in very good physical shape. I was walking down the street with my wife when I suddenly almost fell over from dizziness and vertigo. I immediately developed unilateral tinnitus (ringing in one ear only) and felt so nauseous I thought I might vomit any minute. I was 6 blocks from home but was so incapacitated I considered calling an Uber to get home. I went to consult with Dr. Volpi who I chose because his office was conveniently located and his ratings were decent. No vital signs were checked, specifically blood pressure, heart rate or temperature. After a physical exam which lasted about 2 minutes in total I was not given a diagnosis nor even a likely diagnosis and was told to come back in a month, an arbitrary period of time because as he himself stated sometimes the symptoms last many months or are permanent. He steadfastly refused to give me a prescription for an MRI, a scan that could have ruled out serious causes such as neuroma, a vascular event or even a tumor and could even detect inflammation or fluid, if present. His excuse - if everyone with your symptoms were given MRIs there wouldn’t be any available machines left for other people to use - a ridiculous statement. He would not prescribe any medications for symptom relief. These symptoms are often due to a viral infection of the labyrinth behind the eardrum although the sudden onset of symptoms in my case seem to rule out a gradually progressing infection. I asked him to treat me with an antiviral drug to see if my symptoms improve and he refused due to “the serious side effects of antiviral drugs”. There are antiviral drugs with minor side effects by the way and after taking a course of medication any improvement would indicate that it probably was viral infection nature. No improvement would have at least allowed us to rule out a viral infection. He referred me to an ENT who apparently only deals with inner ear conditions. I am concerned that I will have the same awful experience again. I will call first to determine if an MRI might be prescribed. If not, I will not waste my time, effort and money on this referral. My next stop will be the ER where I will probably wait all day due to triage but given my age, poor health and the sudden onset of symptoms maybe they will feel an MRI is absolutely important diagnostically to rule out anything serious. Dr. Volpi may be qualified to clean out a build up of ear wax, if this is your issue. Otherwise avoid him at all costs.
I had an emergency issue with my hearing and was able to get into Dr. Volpi office on the same day. He was able to fix my ear issue immediately. I left feeling 100 percent better. He was amazing and his staff at the office were also great! Highly recommend this doctor and team!
I had my septum worked on by Dr Volpi. The experience from first appointment to being totally healed was truly remarkable. He is held in such high esteem at the Hospital and I was treated like royalty there. The healing process took half the time as I thought and it hardly bled and never hurt. He is truly a master of his craft. 10000/10. Truly a wonderful doctor and experience.
I am so impressed by Dr Volpi and his team. The team is friendly and great with communication. Dr Volpi is sincere, smart and an excellent surgeon. I went in with chronic sinusitis and through the thoughtful care and guidance I was able to get through my acute phase and then find a long term solution through Septoplasty and turbanectomy procedure. Through the entire process I felt cared for and supported by the team. This place goes above and beyond in patient care. Not the normal in healthcare these days. Exceptional.
Had an septoplasty/rhinoplasty to fix my deviated septum because it was causing me to have sleep apnea. Dr. Volpi did an amazing job! I can breathe through my nose like never before. My sleep has improved dramatically. I could never take a deep breath through my nose and hold it for longer than 20 or 30 seconds, but now I can do it for a a minute and 30seconds or little longer. The have short wait times and the ladies handling the reception are very polite and helpful, too.

I cannot even express fully in words how grateful I am for Dr Volpi. I have been struggling with my breathing and my nose for a very long time, roughly 10 years. I have been to so many doctors , allergist, I've had 2 nose surgery and no results. the only thing that wold help was a nasal spray that would allow me to breathe. most night I would wake up without air and grasping for the spray. most days I would be in meetings or talking and my nose would suddenly clog and I wouldn't be able to talk anymore until the spray kicked in. I finally did my research and found Dr Volpi. it's a very quaint office in park ave in NY. the staff is incredibly professional , there's hardly any waiting time. Dr Volpi diagnosed me in 5 minutes, sent me to get and MRI and on my second visit gave me all my options. I decided to get surgery with him. that day was the most reassuring and the hospital was wonderful. if you are in network there's a possibility of your insurance to cover most of the expenses. 6 weeks later today I have not used my spray ever and I'm breathing like never before. it is the most life changing surgery I ever had and I was so discouraged until I met Dr Volpi who took the time to understand what the underline condition was and saved my life. if you are struggling with your breathing get yourself into his office immediately.
Dr. Volpi is an extremely skillful surgeon. I came to his office because he successfully operated on my family member before. He said my case was relatively complicated however I had no post op pain. I am breathing through my nose like I could never breath before. He has great bedside manners and appears to be very knowledgeable. He took his time to answer all my questions. I recommend Dr Volpi to anyone who needs his expertise.
