I saw Dr Capulong for an abscess. He cut me open with little conversation as to what he was doing. I was completely unprepared for it. Poor directions on how to take care of my wound. Several times blamed me for him packing the wound incorrectly and causing it to heal wrong. One time grabbed the garbage can with his gloved hand and then continued to clean my wound. This man has no business performing surgery on anyone. He is incompetent and his nurse is not any better. Unsanitary office. Completely clueless staff. His license needs to be provoked. I am lucky to still be alive after his poor care. I know need another surgery due to his poor care. He caused me undue pain and discomfort because he has no clue what he is doing. Please see another doctor. This man is a butcher!

I had him perform hernea surgery and before the surgery he told me I would be back to normal in 7-10 days here it is 11 days later I am in severe pain my leg is numb (He told me at the follow up that my leg was not normal that it shouldnt be numb a week later he tells me its normal) and I should be in pain for about 6 weeks I was rushed out of there didnt hardly get to ask any questions. Not good, I will live with the next hernea I get if this ever happens again.
