I was referred to Dr. Volpicelli, an Orthopedic Doctor. From the moment I walked into his office, I was greeted by his wonderful staff and I felt like I was a very special patient. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Volpicelli and he was such a warm and caring Doctor. He listened to everything I had to say about my medical issues and addressed all of my concerns. I would recommend him to anyone that needs medical help, for any Orthopedic condition, surgery etc. Also, the office respected my time and I did not have to wait hours to be seen. read more

I broke my back on that TV show Wipe Out. When I first came to see Dr Volpicelli I was in a wheelchair and could hardly walk to the bathroom. After the MRI results he informed me that I was lucky I wasn't completely paralysed from the waist down. It felt like someone had chopped me in half with an axe. Dr Volpicelli ordered me an upper body clam cast so I could walk around as I was on the mend. After a year I was able to walk without it. I have been through physical therapy and various operations. I am still permanently disabled but at least have a life again, thanks to Dr Volpicelli I'm not in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. ‍ read more

10 months ago, my GP recommended Dr. Volpicelli as an orthopedic surgeon capable of helping me navigate an insurance 'boondoggle' that had already gone on for more than a year. My problem? A pinched nerve in my elbow had both compounded and confused diagnosis of an earlier 'wrist' pinch, ultimately affecting all the nerves in my left hand. As hoped, he 'persevered' with the insurers, and when authorization finally came through, he effectively jumped the line on my behalf and booked me for surgery within 10 days. Results? A wonderfully-executed re-wrapping of my pinched nerve around all former obstructions. Already regaining strength and use. Ratings? Surgery. 10 stars! Looking out for me. 10 more! Assistants, too, Nellie and Edith, were knowledgeable, helpful and VERY, VERY NICE! read more

Each exhibits follow-through, honesty and excellent listening skills. Dr. Volpicelli has old-fashioned Bedside Manner and also 21st Century scientific expertise. Although I hesitated to expound on their virtues because mobs of new patients may invade their beautifully-decorated marine-themed office. --Dr Volpicelli and the Marina del Rey Team of Three is TOPS! read more

Dr Volpicelli and his staff are kind and caring. I appreciate the sensitivity to my needs and my desire to remain active in spite of my aging and sometimes very painful joints. read more

I have seen Dr. Volpicelli over the years. My experience is always the same. He is knowledgeable. Professional and considerate. He is not one to recommend surgery unless absolutely. necessary. Recently, I had a bad fall andI broke my shoulder. He said if I absolutely followed a protocol of keeping my arm still, the arm could possibly heal on its own. Otherwise it would be surgery. Motivated, I COMPLETELY followed his directions. Each step of the way he guided me through a twelve week healing process, always reminding to take it slow. Today, almost four months later and w no surgery my is shoulder is back, my arm is strong. What worked so well? My decision to follow his exact protocol. This is not my usual way. I like to fudge here and there. Because he took the time to let me know and explain w examples what was at stake, I made good choices. When he has had to do surgery, rotator cuff, the results are the same, successful. In addition, you can count on his being on time. His staff is wonderful, accommodating. If you need care and Dr. Volpecelli is in your vicinity consider yourself lucky. read more

Dr Volpicelli is a " Orthopedic surgeon " among other thing. I am a 79 year old woman whom at the time was in need of a knee replacement, I'd like to say that the surgery was successful and my knee is doing great! While I do have other ailments the knee is doing exceptionally well. I would also like to mention that the staff has been great ! The office is always clean and I never have a long wait. Thank you Dr. Volpicelli and Staff Cora White 01/21/2025 read more

This review should have been written long ago. My mother, unfortunately, was under his care (not by choice) and he would make comments about her age and it being the reason for her injuries when it was in fact not. She chooses to work so she can stay healthy and she likes to contribute to society. The injury was caused due to her work being short staffed and having her try to move/lift and lift a 300lb woman on her own. This "doctor" is a rude, insensitive, sexist, discriminating human. Spare yourself and go to someone who cares about peoples care regardless of who or what they may be and will address your injuries- not shove his personal opinions on you. read more

This physician scheduled follow up visits that are not needed just to pad his wallet. The nurse Esmeralda claims they need these a certain number of visits to make sure your insurance approves the claim. Having worked in the industry I know this is false. Most PPO plans are not as stringent and do not require numerous appointments. Getting anything done from this office is like pulling teeth. If you need a prior authorization for PT then, you need to see them for 4-5 times and then continue seeing you. Also he spends 5-10 minutes with you and tells you stuff you can read on WebMD. What's the point of paying a professional that's no better than a website? Volpicelliw and his office really don't care about their patients. read more

Dr. Volpicelli did not even look at my x-rays that I brought in from the ED that I brought in before he pigeonholed my treatment and progression. I have 2 fractures from a fall. I found him impatient and condescending. There are many, many better choices for orthopedic care. read more

Its no surprise this guy has so many bad ratings. after waiting 1.5 hrs in his waiting didnt want to even see the mri I bright in,before attemting to schedule me for surgery. I told him he's dangerous, insisted on a refund of his fee for the last 2 visits, and forced him to look at the MRI. I shouldve punched him in his face. if the AMA or CA AMA knew how he practiced, he would be suspended or revoked. SCOI in the valley, is a far superior clinic, and the moment we met the dr there, we felt at home, cared for and completely comfortable with their recommendations. read more

I was referred to Dr. Volpicelli by my Primary care Dr. William Lang over 3 years ago. I must say it's the greatest referral I have ever received! Dr. Volpicelli is a super qualified physician who is also caring and intuitive to his patients needs. If there were 10 stars it wouldn't be enough. He also has a wonderful staff who are dedicated and proficient. As soon as you enter his waiting room you are greeted with warmth which then carries over to Dr. Volpicelli himself and his highly trained nurses. You know you are in good hands. Another perk is that you are always seen in a timely matter. He has treated me for both knees and my right hip. Thanks to him I am still walking! Do not have any reservations on booking an appointment. You will be highly satisfied. read more

What I appreciate most about Dr Volpicelli is how thorough he is. He examined and then diagnosed my condition. He then went into causes of the condition and subsequently suggested some specific exercises to help alleviate my condition. He went one step further and gave me photocopies of instructions for how to do the exercises correctly. At each appointment, he reminds me to keep moving so that the joints don't get stiff. Good advice!! read more

I came here for a partially torn ligament in my thumb. I had bi weekly follow ups for almost 3 months and went through a long healing process, first being in a brace then PT. Dr. Volpicelli is patient, understanding, funny, and seems to really care me about his patients. I never feel rushed or scared to ask dumb questions. His front staff are amazing, always working me into their schedule. Not once has Dr. Volpicelli been late to an appointment, which is extremely rare with doctors in LA. I highly recommend Dr. Volpicelli for any sport injuries. read more

I am writing this review for my mother. This is her first hand account: "I am a new patient. Prior to even stepping foot in the office, Dr. Volpicelli's staff was easily accessible, thorough and kind. The referral process was smooth and speedy, I have not had any qualms with paperwork and receiving the proper care. Dr. Volpicelli is well versed and understanding. I am looking forward to continue seeking treatment with him." read more

I'm very frustrated. I really liked this doctor. However I had been injured at work, and I asked him some questions about the process. Even though my claim was excepted, everything was denied through utilization review. I have not received any type of compensation or doctors visits in over a year. Even though my attorneys both emailed the doctor saying that I was able to receive treatment through the doctor, he would not see me. Worker's Comp. would not Treat me, and by law I was allowed to get treatment with my insurance. Because I have an attorney I cannot get the Worker's Comp. to provide me a letter saying that they're not providing treatment. This is why my attorneys provided the emails and even spoke to the doctor when I was in the office. However the doctor still would not see me. As a result of his neglect and failure to treat, I have left him a negative review. read more

I want to complement Dr. Volpicelli and his staff- Esmeralda and Nellie. There are no words to express how I appreciate their excellent care! They are competent , understanding, gentle and compassionate. If only more doctors offices were handled like this!!! I really can't say enough about this Doctor and his staff. They are always available. They always call back. They should get 10 stars. read more

Doc was great! I broke my radius and Doc was very clear with instructions and explaining the timeframe for recovery. Thanks doc!

multiple thumbs down. not even worth for a single star. I went to Dr Louis Volpicelli (Marina del Rey, CA) for the second opinion about my cervical and thoracic. Dr Volpicelli just relied on a blurred fax copy of my x-ray result from the previous medical Dr. He did not send me to another x-ray, mri, or even nerve tests. He did not even fought for the denials of my additional therapies. what a waste of my time. Good luck guys. read more

Louis Volpicelli, MD - Orthopedists Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Dr, Volpicelli is a wonderful listener. He guided me through all our options and i trust him implicitly. I would recommend him to anyone.

Appreciated working with Dr Volpicelli through a wrist injury. I appreciated the flexible hours his office keeps (late-afternoon appointments available), as well as how fast he works through the appointments while also being thorough. I don't think I had to ever wait more than 10 minutes between arriving and seeing Dr. V. across appointments in the last several months. He answered all my questions and kept me on track with my treatment plan. I appreciated the candor and expediency of his office. read more

Great service, kind staff, always on time. Experienced doctor that doesn't hide behind a computer. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend. read more

This was The worst doctor I've ever been to. If I was willing to spend more time miserably recounting this I would file a malpractice suit but I'm not. He misdiagnosed, he was rushed and unprofessional and not the greatest bedside manner. He is also misdiagnosed others that I know about read more

Dr Volpicelli is very caring and patient doctor and his staff is friendly and attentive. Thanks for taking care of me. Bari L. read more

My right shoulder became a frozen. I went to acupuncture and put on a painkiller patch, but it didn't go away and I woke up with pain many times in the middle of the night. I found Dr. Volpicelli and made an appointment. The reservation was smooth. I called Dr. Volpicellii office on Friday and made an appointment on Monday. When arrived at his office, there was little waiting time and I could see Dr. Volpicelli immediately. He diagnosed my condition very accurately. Since it was the early stage of frozen shoulder, I was asked to prescribe a pain reliever and was told to do a simple exercise called Pendulum exercise for 5 minutes 3 times every day. I followed his direction and exercised as it was. My pain disappeared after 2 weeks and I could do overnight hiking with 20lb backpack. Thank you very much for your accurate diagnosis and very easy understanding explanation. I recommend Dr. Volpicelli to everyone in pain. read more

i Have been seeing Dr volipcelli for about 15 years for sports related injuries and he always had the fix. A few years back I had a motorcycle accident and broke my leg,I was out of town. They operated and my leg never healed. Then I went to Dr. V he took a look at the x-rays and determined immediately why it wasn't healing. I did what he said and the break healed. He is a great caring Dr and a wonderful man. read more

I can't say enough about this office. The staff are warm and personable, and they go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and all your paperwork is squared away (insurance, edd, employer). With rare exception the wait time is no more than a few minutes - and you have gorgeous views of the marina to keep you content anyway. And Dr Volpicelli has such great bedside manner: he makes eye contact, he shakes hands, he asks how you're doing and waits to hear the response. Simple things that a lot of doctors forget to do. He always makes you feel like he has time for you and really addresses your concerns and takes into account all of the factors affecting your issue. I've had multiple injuries over the years and each time I know I'll be in good and capable hands. read more

Dr.V performed surgery to repair a torn meniscus in my knee. Before the surgery clearly explained the issue, the process to repair and recovery process. He's awesome, personal, friendly and cares about your health. I feel much better now and as he recommends "keep moving!". His staff Esmeralda and Nellie are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for any ortho needs. Thank you Dr.V ! read more

Quite a number of red flags here. Suffice it to say after an initial consultation on an acute injury, I'm looking for another doctor. Stay away. Also, to note, I have NEVER been spoken to by a medical professional in the manner he treated me. Rude, condescending, refused to listen to what I was trying to tell him about medical history and other current conditions. Essentially talked to me as if I was a moron. read more

I broke my arm in a roller skating accident in 2008 and went to Dr. Volpicelli. I may have left with a healed arm but, because of his AWFUL bedside manner and billing process, I was left with a major headache! Parking is a nightmare and it cost you an arm and a leg (pun intended). Five years later and it still gets me heated! Look elsewhere for another doctor. read more

I usually hate doctors...but not this one!!! He is patient, fun, and he listens!!! Brilliant man, wonderful experience, and makes me have faith there are still some sweet and caring doctors out there :) read more

Went to this Dr he is very rude. Told me he had other patients he had to see. I was trying to get answers from him he did not have the time to answer. Call my medical insurance and reported him. He was showing me other people x-rays instead of my own. read more

I had the displeasure of going to this doctor earlier this year when I dislocated my elbow. Fresh from the ER and still in shock, his bedside manner was AWFUL. He did not look at the files or x-rays the ER provided, barely looked at my arm, had little patience or advice and only said completely trivial things that were not helpful. Joked to his nurse to send the mountain where I hurt myself thank you gifts for bringing him more patients. I'm glad my trauma will provide you a new boat this year, doctor. What a complete waste of my co-pay. His staff was nice and calming. He was terrible. I never write reviews, but his poor treatment stuck with me and I hope that this review will guide people to a doctor who is more caring than he is. read more

A wolf in sheep's clothing is the best way to describe how I feel about Mr. Volpicelli. I became a patient of his based in large part to the great ratings & reviews, but my experience with Mr. Volpicelli differed greatly from the mostly positive Yelp reviews. Although Mr. Volpicelli's general bedside manner is good, that is the only good thing I can write about him. I entrusted the man with my prescriptions carried-over from another doctor and he assured me that he would work diligently on filling them. One month later, not one prescription was filled. Two months later I reminded him about these prescriptions, but nothing. Five months lapse and time is not the only thing that has lapsed, obviously his memory (perhaps from his advanced age) because he still failed to fill one prescription! No doctor is worth my business, if he refuses to write carry-over prescriptions; he never told me over the five months that he was my doctor, that he would not fill my pre-authorized prescriptions. Is it possible or likely that Mr. Volpicelli has bought fake favorable ratings and reviews on Yelp, seems so? Awful inconsiderate, apathetic man; he deserves nobody's business, except maybe Satan's. read more

Dr. Volpicelli and his staff are by far the best doctors office I have ever been to. Nelly is super courteous on the phone and even better in person. The wait is super short, which is odd for a doctors office. Dr. Volpicelli always welcomes me with a smile and a firm handshake. He is kind, informative and caring. I would totally recommend him to anyone. If I could give more stars, I would! Thanks Dr. Volpicelli and staff! read more

Dr volpicelli is very good knowing how to treat my trigger finger ,he also did the surgery on my Carpal tunnel and I've never had no problems since ...you can't even see the scar where he blended it into my lifeline on my hand I took my granddaughter to see about her arm and she 13 and she really like him she said grandma he's a nice doctor I wasn't even scare He also took care of my husband when he took a fall and we got a Appointment the same day ,saved us a trip to the ER he's a very caring doctor and I would not go to see anybody else un less he retires I highly recommend him if anybody's looking for a orthopedic doctor all his staff are very , accommodating and you never wait very long ,you get in right away read more

Dr."V" is tremendous. Very professional and takes great care of my pesky bursitis. The office staff is so nice and efficient. I actually look forward to a visit there. I have never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes to see Dr. V! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Volpicelli for many years. He is a great surgeon. He is very professional, courteous and caring.

I was super disappointed by this doctor. I came to him based on good Yelp reviews. I don't know if he'd had a bad day, or it was the end of his shift, etc... but I felt AWFUL after seeing him. He didn't tell me anything about my leg injury, judged at me for the questions I asked, and really had zero patience or time to spend with me. He didn't even tell me any specifics of my injury or whether I could drive, walk on it, etc. He gave me no info. Sadly won't be coming back to this doctor. read more
