He is a very efficient and smart doctor. I liked the fact that he took X-rays on the first visit itself and showed the results to me. However it would have been great if he ordered an MRI too so that I could ensure that my symptoms were not due to a serious joint related problem.

Overall, Dr. Capiola was great. The office is a bit crazy and crowded, and the front desk isn't the friendliest. But once you get passed that, the Dr. himself is pleasant. Very nice bedside manner and wants patients to understand what is happening and next steps.

I would highly recommend Dr. Capiola. I came to see him from Alabama in regard to an injury to my finger. I didn't have to wait very long to see him. He was upbeat, happy and very thorough with examining my finger and explaining to me what needed to be done. He told me that surgery was the best option and that the type I required should be done by an orthopedic hand surgeon because it was a very specialized surgery. He then made a call to his collegue and set an appointment for me with him. It's very rare these days to meet with a doctor who has your best interest at heart and will direct you to the another physician whom he feels is a better fit for your problem. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Capiola.

Immediately after my appointment I started singing Dr. Capiola's praises to my friends. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and I felt very at ease with him. He was thorough - really listening to everything I had to say and checking out each of the problems I mentioned - but was also efficient. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone - I feel so lucky to have found such a great doctor.

Dr. Capiola is a wonderful doctor with exceptional bedside manner. I went in not knowing what was wrong with my finger after trying to catch a football the wrong way. Turns out it was sprained. The wait in the tiny waiting room was not enjoyable but once I was taken in, the process was swift and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Capiola. Just leave enough time for at least a 45 minute wait.

Dr. Capiola really took the time to understand my injury and past medical history. Not only was he familiar with a relatively uncommon drug that I was taking, but when I told him of a rare condition that I had, though he wasn't familiar with it (and few are), he wrote it down in his notes so that he could do more research on it. This despite the fact that it wasn't relevant to my injury. I think he just wanted to learn more about it. He took the time to show me the x-rays and thoroughly explain what was going on, and to recommend what to do about it. Only downside here is that the office is not so nice looking, and when I asked for a copy of my x-rays as computer files, I was told at first that they didn't exist as files, then that they might possibly be able to give me a copy on a 3.5" floppy disk. Really? I didn't even think they still made those.
