Beyond Prostate Cancer: Exploring the Full Range of Urological Health with Michael Volpe, MD Stay in the Game

    • Medicine

For many of us, our urologists arrived in our lives at a time of crisis and have confined their care to managing our prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. But in an engaging conversation with host Ed Randall, Dr. Michael Volpe walks us through the gamut of urinary and reproductive organ conditions a urologist might encounter in a clinical practice. Dr. Volpe also suggests that as we age, we might want to consider adding a urologist to our medical team.  

Dr. Volpe also shared stories about meeting his wife Isabelle in medical school in 1990 and bonding over their mutual love of catching the #4 train to take in Yankees games from their regular seats in the bleachers. And, of course, there is the surreal (and joyful) experience thirty-four years later of his son Anthony playing shortstop for his parents’ favorite team.
