My visit with Dr. Capes was a joke. Waited 40+ minutes, he was completely rushed and didn't seem to care at all to help me, referred me to someone else after spending less than 5 minutes with me, yet then I received a $200 bill for this appointment. After speaking to several people over the following weeks, I received zero assistance with this bill as they deemed that the 'charges were billed correctly'. Definitely won't be back and absolutely would not recommend this guy to anyone.

This guy was ridiculous! Took my first son into get circumcised and Dr. Capes' bedside manor was unbelievable. "Is it a boy or a girl?" (For a circumcision appointment!) "I had a couple bleeders last week" "I'm no surgeon, but they have this really nifty tool, so it is pretty hard to mess up" "You can take off too much or too little...I err on the side of too little. A urologist can always fix that later, but you can't fix taking too much off" I would absolutely not recommend him- in fact I 100% recommend you DO NOT see him.
