Dr Cappa is outstanding. My prior physician retired. Dr Cappa took the time to review my 20-year history, asked many excellent questions, explained his reasoning and recommended diagnostic procedures. He is smart, kind and caring, and I felt very comfortable with his knowledge. He came very highly recommended by a good friend who had struggled for years until she found Dr Cappa who was able to recommend tests and diagnose and treat her illness.
Professional staff and Dr. Cappa is awesome.
Dr. Cappa has treated my Crohn's disease for many years. With the treatments prescribed I now am able to live a full life with little or no active symptoms. I will continue to follow his advice.
Dr. Cappa was excellent to deal with. Although I didnt get complete resolution, I feel like he took a real interest and would be available to help.
I see Dr. Cappa once a year and yet he makes me feel like we are old friends and I could tell him anything. It is so rare these days and so refreshing! He is quite competent and I would be very comfortable recommending him to anyone.
Dr. Cappa was very professional and made me very at ease prior to the procedure.
Dr. Cappa, his staff, and the hospital staff did a great job to make me feel a ease and comfortable for my colonoscopy. Many thanks to all!!!
I thoroughly and completely trust Dr. Cappa. I feel confident in his care. He is top notch.
Dr Cappa was very friendly, taking the time to speak to me before a routine colonoscopy and answer all my questions before being put under, this despite the office being clearly busy with a half dozen patients. A striking feature of the office is how engaging the staff is. Everyone makes it a point to allay any apprehension patients might have. Nurse Leslie in particular was exceptionally warm and helpful.
The office is 40 minutes from where I live, but there is no other place I would consider going to.
