This is not a "doctor" he does not practice medicine anymore. He is a fraud, liar and a cheat. God only knows what he does with his time but it is not treating patients. He is a rambling weirdo.

He saved my life. I had a leaking appendix and it moved to the middle of my stomach. By the goodness of this man, he saved me. I'm 63 and grateful he was at Glenbrook when I was there.

Dr Caprini is an outstanding doctor. He is brilliant, personable, helpful, and everything you want in a good doctor. I give him the highest ratings, and also his staff.

This doctor was horrible! Terrible bedside manner. Very arrogant. This doctor did my first leg stripping. I had another vein stripping surgery done on the same leg several years later and used another vascular surgeon that was wonderful. I would NOT recommend Dr. Joseph A. Caprini to anyone!

This is not a doctor he is a fraud, he is not on staff at any hospitals that he says. He did not help me at all and was arrogant. Save your time and go to a real vascular surgeon.
