Got right in to x-ray then waited maybe 2-3 minutes. Always a pleasure to see Dr. Capito and he checked me over read my Xrays and let me know the surgery went great and I’m healing well. I checked out then went to thePT tech and they got me signed up with my PT provider. Dr. Captio you are the best. If I mention your name anywhere in this city someone speaks up as a former patient and folks always speak well of you.

Dr Capito is the best. We as community members must appreciate having individuals who dedicate many years of hard work and sacrifice to perfect their skills as surgeons. Much respect to Dr Capito.

Dr. Capito is THE shoulder guy. He does 450 surgeries a year, mostly shoulder (and elbow). It was apparent from my appointment that he is an expert. Can’t wait to have my rotator cuff repaired by him!

I am 4 months post op from my total shoulder replacement. I am beyond appreciative to Dr Capito and all the staff at the ortho clinic and Burton outpatient surgical center.. It is a very efficient clinic with prompt service and very little wait time. Staff are friendly yet businesslike in getting their job done. I established my relationship with Dr. Capito by first understanding and admiring his level of expertise. He’s very serious about his work and your outcome.I personally thought it was prudent of me to engage more with him to break the white coat syndrome. He’s a more quiet doctor, and I am a chatty Kathy. I ask the questions if he hasn’t addressed something of my concern. Mutual respect. Great results from surgery. Happy patient!

Dr. Capito is very thorough and concerned for his patients. Just had surgery and could not ask for better results. Entire office staff is wonderful. I have not had to wait over 5 minutes in the office waiting room.
