and ankle. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, he attended Hunter High School in Manhattan. Dr. Capeci graduated from Cornell University and received his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine where he was elected to the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. He completed his residency in orthopaedic surgery at New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases and a sports medicine fellowship at Lenox Hill Hospital. During his residency and fellowship he participated in the orthopaedic care of the New York Jets football team, New York Islanders hockey club, Hunter College Athletics and NYC Public High Schools.

In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, cooking, computers & technology, playing golf & basketball and following collegiate and professional sports.…
This was my first visit with Dr. Capeci.
The overall experience was quite seamless and positive. The patient intake staff person, physician's assistant and X-Ray technician were courteous and efficient. A rare experience for me when visiting a physician for the first time.
My X-rays were taken at the office and Dr. Capeci reviewed them right away. His approach to treating my condition which involves a shoulder injury and neck is comprehensive but at the same time, non-invasive. Too often, physicians recommend surgery for shoulder injuries. I highly recommend Dr. Capeci.

I loved this doctor so much that I already recommended him to a friend. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to help me because he explained I should see a spine specialist and he specializes in sports medicine more than anything else but he still spent a great deal of time with me, gave me a thorough exam and accessed my situation like no other orthopedists I've been to- and trust me I been to quite a few who were more interested in brushing me off and makin the big bucks on their surgical patients. I guess my pain wasn't worth their time. But Dr.Capeci actually gave a hoot and referred me to another amazing doctor he knew would be able to help. I respect that. Oh and btw he's also quite the looker ;). Don't hesitate! Book now!
