In my 36+ years as ophthalmology patient at research institutions across the globe, I felt the most respected by and confident in the care I received from Dr Volpe and his team at Northwestern. Dr Volpe expertly balances the tension between patient care and resident/student education. He corrected and instructed students while still making the care feel personal and approachable in situations where other research institutions had previously made me feel like a specimen.I appreciate the sense of humor and pragmatism he brings to the work. He took the time to explain his approach, recommendations and the risks/benefits. He answered all of the questions my husband and I brought to the table with openness and thoughtfulness. I also appreciated the approachability and conscientiousness of Dr Bolton, the resident I saw for pre-op and surgery. I was the most anxious for the suture adjustment and she helped me feel calm and confident.
