Dr. Caponigro is an excellent doctor. I needed a difficult and painful procedure but Dr. C was patient, calm, compassionate, courteous, highly skilled, and respectful. I was extremely impressed and will go back to him always. I already recommended him to a family member who needs a podiatrist.

The doctor and staff are great. Could not be better!
However, the Zocdoc system for contacting patients and confirming appointments is the worse I have ever seen. In the course of 2 weeks I was contacted more than 10 times requesting confirmation even after "confirming" my appointment on many occasions.
