Summary

Dr. Caples, one of the founders of Ohio Heart and Vascular Center, has been practicing cardiology in Cincinnati since 1976. He has participated in over 40 research trials, and has been active in all phases of cardiology. As a cardiologist, he takes care of people who have heart problems of any kind, but he leaves by-pass surgery and heart to other physicians. He currently serves as Fellow of the American College of Cardiology.

He grew up in a medical household in Baltimore, Maryland. His father was a general surgeon and his mother was a nurse. "I’ve been surrounded by nurses my whole life. I had a nurse as a mother, and have a nurse as a daughter and a nurse as a wife. They’re strong women, independent and intelligent. They’re great."

Dr. Caples originally planned to be a university professor. Princeton University offered him a fellowship. He majored in history with a minor in English lit. He also took science to be well rounded. Then one day something clicked in him. "I just decided to become a physician; it just came to me." He attended the University of Virginia undergraduate and medical school. Then in the middle of his residency at the University of Kentucky, one of his professors encouraged him to become a cardiologist. It was the right choice. He has consistently been recognized by his peers as one of the area’s top cardiologists in Cincinnati magazine’s annual top physician poll.

He and his wife Katie have four grown children, three girls and a boy. Their two Labradors, Cody and Sam, make up the rest of household. That a given according to Dr. Caples. "I’ve never been without a dog in my life."

He plays golf now and then, and he likes to watch college basketball. He trained at the University of Kentucky, so he still roots for the Wildcats

Despite his 14-16 hour workday, he also finds time to read–everything from history, science, fiction and finance. He likes classic authors along side popular novelists like Grisham and Lescroart, and he reads 20th century American history with a special nod to Teddy Roosevelt.

Dr. Caples finds the most rewarding part of being a physician is interacting with people and healing them. The best reflection of his own medical philosophy comes from the John Donne poem that inspired Hemingway’s novel, "For Whom The Bell Tolls." "Each man’s death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee."
