I have been seeing Dr. Volpe for annual vision testing for the last 4 years, ever since he diagnosed my vision issues related to my brain injury. Thanks to Dr. Volpe I can now read again! I had seen 3 other health care providers prior to seeing him and all of them misdiagnosed me. He's brilliant and compassionate.

Dr. Volpe walked in after I had been tested by several others, looked at me, and told me exactly what I have. I have the issue since birth and no other Doctor has been able to help me.
