He is dually board certified in both adult and child & adolescent psychiatry.

Following fellowship, Dr. Volkert joined the Center for Management of ADHD at CHOP, where he has remained actively involved in patient care, clinical consultation, and initiatives to expand access and improve quality of treatment for individuals with ADHD and related conditions.

Dr. Volkert brings a dynamic and empathetic approach to care, emphasizing both challenges and opportunities for growth. He understands that the individuals he treats lead rich, complex inner lives and may not always fit neatly into traditional diagnostic categories.

He is committed to working collaboratively with patients and families to support fuller, more engaging, and more meaningful lives.
