The Volpicelli Center
Joe Volpicelli Illegal practice, greedy, money hungry - am also reporting to various state and federal agencies

When I first began going to this joke of a medical practice I was fairly satisfied. After only a few visits though I came to realize that these peons are nothing but scam artists hiding behind the guise of a medical practice. One of the receptionists is the doctor's wife, Kris. She, in and of herself, is a total hunchbacked dogged looking mess and highly disrespectful individual to deal with. She will occasionally "counsel" patients regarding whatever issues they might be there for, usually drug addiction, which is illegal as she is not lisenced to do this. As a patient, it just got worse and worse.instead of the monthly appointments I was going for, paying around $200/visit, I was then told that I'd have to come every week at $100/week, but the 4th visit, the "master visit" with the self-proclaimed "best" psych doc, would cost $175. I don't know about you but I don't have $475 to spend every month to see a doctor who will only accept cash or Aetna. When I questioned the cost and said I couldn't afford it, the incredibly inappropriate response I got was, "well, it's less than you'd spend on the street for these drugs, right?", then a little chuckle. A few patients I met there who I became friendly with told me that once they'd decided to get off of their meds Kris told them to bring in the remainder of their property, their medicine, so they could have extra "just in case"!!! Illegal!!! Back to the doc, my sessions were supposed to last half an hour but he would often keep me there for OVER 2 HOURS! This place is a joke, a scam and highly illegal. I will be reporting to Aetna, along with any other state and federal agency possible. There are plenty of witnesses to these atrocities. So, I'm going to end with this: do NOT even CONSIDER this doc as he himself has many issues, one being his fear of traveling more than 5 miles beyond his home and talking to strangers. Yet he's "the best" and gives life advice to others and won't shut up about the "limbic brain" no matter who he's "helping". And don't show up durin lunchtime or on a Saturday without providing and paying for food for them. Disgusting.
