Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great surgeon !
Dr Capizzi did a wonderful job on my hernia surgery. He was thorough in his examinations and followed up on everything: whether my incisions had healed properly and when I should go back to work. Would strongly recommend him to anyone needing hernia medical help.

The very best medical experience of my life. Dr Capizzi repaired a botched surgery from a previous doctor and very well probably saved my life.

I went to Dr. Cappizzi for hemorrhoid removal after giving birth. I thought he was very nice and patient. I didn't feel he rushed at all like I do with most doctors. I have nothing but good to say about him, and I will go to him again now that I have the same problem after giving birth to my second! (terrible I know !)
