Dr. Ralph Capalbo DO

When I first entered his office he asked what all that shit in my face was for. (I have a lot of facial piercings.) He spoke for about 15 minutes about how I didn't need them. He told me I needed to quit smoking. And yelled at me a lot. I was laughing at him the entire time. He's your classic older Italian type. I wouldn't recommend him for anyone who is hyper-sensitive or insecure. He in no way made me feel upset with his ranting. He's a very sweet guy and he made me feel very well taken care of. And the nurses are very sweet. The wait time can vary depending. It's open after office hours so it should be expected that you may have to wait a little while. I waited no longer than I would have at any other doctor's office. (It was actually quicker.) I've never felt so comfortable. Despite his quirky approach, he's very knowledgeable and his bedside manner (and that of his staff) is above and beyond! He's the best doctor I've ever had. And it's my personal opinion that if you're overweight your doctor should talk to you about it. Regardless of the nature of your appointment.

Worst doctor experience EVER. I had to wait over an hour to finally get into the room with the physicians' assistant. (She was very pleasant, but completely overwhelmed as she was the only one running the office.) Once I finally got in there they were both highly unprofessional. They were in and out of the room, answering phone calls in the exam room, and shouting my personal information throughout the office in ear shot of the other patients. I went to see him for a bad cough I had for over 3 weeks and he completely ignored my concerns. Instead he pretty much attacked me about my personal life. For example, he had the nerve to tell me my college degree was useless, and I was single because I am a bit overweight! (Please note, I did not ask for any of this advice.) Long story short: I left hysterically crying never to return again!!

I think that he is the best dr that I have seen thus far!!!!
