I had my implants done by Dr. Volpe back in 2011. I was under 22 at the time, so I got saline…read moreimplants. Years went by and I started having severe symptoms. I saw every specialist imaginable to try to get some type of explanation for feeling like I was slowly dying at the age of 25. After months and months of research I finally came across an article about BII. At the time I had never heard of breast implant illness. In 2016 there were only 3-4 doctors in the US performing en bloc capsulectomies (procedure where your entire implant and scar tissue is completely removed.) After scheduling my appointment with one of the few specialists that preformed the procedure I needed, I decided to reach out to Dr. Volpe to see if he has had any other patience experience what I was going through... below is our email correspondence... Email I sent to Dr. Volpe's office on 8/18/2016: Hi Dr. Volpe, It will be 6 years this January since I had my implants done by Dr. Volpe. I am constantly asked about the doctor that did my implants and still to this day refer numerous friends to him. About a year ago I became very ill and have seen every type of doctor and had about every test possible done to find out what could be causing my symptoms. It wasn't until 2 months ago that I learned of breast implant illness. Once I did lots of researched about the illness I reached out to Dr. Susan Kolb in Atlanta who specializes in explant surgery. I wanted to reach out to Dr. Volpe to get his input and professional advice on the situation. Email response from Dr. Volpe on 8/18/2016 Hi Kaylee, It would be wise to come in and I would be happy to go over everything with you. Be wary of opinions that do not agree with extensively researched medical issues. Just give a call and set something up (remember no fees for all this). Hope to see you, Dr Volpe Email I sent to Dr. Volpe after my explant surgery on 2/23/2017: Dr. Volpe, On 10/3/16 I had my implants removed by Dr. Feng in Ohio. In August 2016 I reached out to you to get your advice regarding a link between my declining heath and my implants . I find it quite odd that in response to my email you advised me to "Be wary of opinions that do not agree with extensively researched medical issues". I'd like to know what extensive research you were referring to? Since I explanted 5 months ago a lot of my symptoms have subsided and the ones that remain are much better than they were before. After suffering for countless years with no answers, I will be putting all my effort into advocating for women who were not fully informed of all the heath risks that came with getting breast implants. In all the research I've done, I have yet to find any studies of the long term health risks of breast implants. That may be because there has been no research carried out long enough to prove the long term effects, but if you have information proving otherwise I'd be very interested to see it. Providing your patients with all the information, including the the percentage of women that experience the vast amount of negative effects from implants should be mandatory. If this information is denied to them before the decision is made to get implants, you're only doing a disservice to your patients. I have no complaints about the job you did on my implants, I think you are an extremely talented surgeon. However, had I known the information I know now about the risks of breast implants, I may have decided that the cons far outweighed the pros. The decision I made was based off the information I was given. Had I known differently, my health would be in a much different place right now, along with my financial state, and countless other aspects of my life. Thank you, Kaylee Silcox Below is the link to a letter I wrote to my 20 yr old self that was published by the National Center for Health Research. https://breastimplantinfo.org/kaylee-silcox-letter-20-year-old-self/ I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THAT ALL THE WOMEN THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION AS MYSELF, IF NOT WORSE, RALLIED BEHIND THIS CAUSE AND FINALLY GOT THE FDA TO PUT A BLACK BOX WARNING ON (ALL) IMPLANTS!

I arrived 10 minutes before my scheduled appointment, which I had made nearly 2 months in advance. I was told to leave the lobby and come back in 40 minutes. When I returned, I was told that maybe the doctor would be able to see me... eventually. The front desk attendant was rude and dismissive. I opted to cancel my appointment and left. Details: I was volunteering at my 3-year-old's gymnastics workshop that morning. It ran over, and I ended up not having time to take her home to her father. I chose to value their time over my own scheduling miscalculations and went straight to my appointment as I was. Being with my child and in my workout sweats, I suppose they took me for someone without money. From the look of their lobby, it's clear they are desperate to give off an impression of wealth and excess, and my presence must have been horrible for them. I didn't fit in, and how dare I sully their image! The front desk attendant was unbelievably rude and unprofessional. I have never been treated like that in my life. In my LIFE!

She not only truly cares about people, she cares about making someone feel good about themselves. Many a times I've gone to see these snake oil salesman and all they wanted was money, they had no cares about my best interest nor did I get any results that made me feel good. We all know that life can be a gamble, but with Dr. D as my new found angel one who really cares about how I look and feel. I feel like with her, I have really hit the Lottery.

I have had a lot of bodywork done over the years, but Eric is one of the best therapists that you…read morecan have for general aches and pains, targeted injuries, acute issues, or just giving you a general "look over" and identifying what is causing the stress and tightness throughout your body. While Zen Zone is not your lavish, over-the-top kind of spa or massage therapy provider, the space is clean and well kept. I would put it on par with the majority of the providers I have been to over the years and given the difficulty (and cost) of space in Boston, Zen has plenty of space dedicated to the services they provide. The price is actually pretty good ($200 for a 90m massage) for the services and what you get for that is BEYOND a value. Like I said, over the past 10+ years I've had just about every type of bodywork imaginable done (active release, grafting, dry needling, all different kinds of massages, TENS therapy, etc). I was always looking for ways to recover as an amateur competitor in CrossFit and that just causes the need to treat your body as good as you can so you can keep training and pushing. Now, with that out of the way let's get into my experience with Eric. This unicorn is well-versed in MANY different practices, but will tailor the services to your level of need and want in focus areas and pressure to be applied. I will say that my experience was not super relaxing, but that was what I wanted. We did active release, stretching, and deep tissue massage. These are NOT relaxing services to request, but what I wanted/needed at the time of my appointment. Not only did he meet all of these requests with fervor, but showed me a few other tricks I had not experienced personally. The one that sticks out in my mind is his attention to my head/neck/jaw after I told him of my cancer diagnosis. He did a full assessment of my body and decided to focus first on my head/neck/jaw with cold stone therapy and actually getting IN my mouth to release the tension in my jaw. Not something I would have thought of, but once he was done the difference was palpable and I was beyond thankful he spent this kind of attention on a place that instantly melted the tension and clenching away. I can't say enough good things about my experience from scheduling to paying (they even have the providers' Venmo displayed for tipping!!!). It was quite a first impression they left on me and I will definitely be back when I need this kind of intensive therapy or body work in the future. Highly recommended - 10/10, A+++
