“Dr. Capeci listens well, is attentive, and is willing to look at options. I had a hip replacement 7 years ago and looking to keep my other hip in place for as long as possible, and he is good with that! He is well versed in treating dancers and other highly active people. Will defnintely continue to see him.”
