I have been a patient of Dr. Kappenman’s for 2 years. He truly listens to your questions and concerns and wants the best for his patients. As my husband and I are about to try and conceive I can honestly say I know we will be well cared for! So happy to have found an OB we believe in and trust. Thank you Dr. Kappenman!
