Talked to me like he's doing me a favor, chose less effective treatment with higher billable despite my reservation, insisted over my objection, failed to diagnose the second problem.

I’ve been seeing dr Cappadona for over 5 years. He’s very calm and caring. I finally agreed to a knee replacement and he did a wonderful job!!!

I had shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago with Dr. Cappadona. My experience was absolutely amazing. From our initial meeting to the surgery and beyond...complete professionalism throughout. His staff is super friendly and helpful as well. I felt completely at ease from the get go with Dr. Cappadona....I can't recommend him enough....My recovery was painless for the most part...looking forward to starting my PH which is beginning tomorrow. Thank you Dr. C for all your help!

Dr Cappadona took care of my daughters ankle fracture. His bedside manner was Grade A in my book. He took the time to explain the fracture and was able to communicate with my daughter effectively and age appropriately. I would highly recommed him for anyone that is looking to have comprehensive compassionate care.
