Dr. Capos is THE BEST!!! My husband (not me) is actually his patient, but I'm an integral part of the care given to my husband. My husband has been a patient of Dr. Capos' for about 7 years now and we are extremely pleased with the care that he's given.

This Doctor spends almost an hour with patients as needed. He is old school and doesn't just throw you some new meds. Do what he says, diet, care, etc to the point. It will all work out. The office is full of patients who swear that his care has improved their life.He is not a doctor who is pressured with multiple visits to keep his practice going. You are not his cash cow like most doctors are told to be. I got tired of newly trained Dr's with no experience, no eye contact, and 5 minute diagnosis and receiving the newest med which the last pharmacutical reps left at their last meeting.He is thorough, pleasant, and trying to save your life. I have been with him for several years.
