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.

I started with Dr. Capraro back in 2005, when I first moved to Florida. She had gone over all my medical records, before even meeting me. Doctors in my home state never diagnosed me properly. After many years of being missed diagnosed, I finally found a doctor that actually cares about her patients. She and I always discusses my concerns and treatments before moving forward. She also let's the patient make the final decision. She and her staff have always been very wonderful to me and my husband. I now live 3 hours away from the practice, she is the greatest doctor I've ever had. I'm going to continue with her as long as I can.

Just had my annual exam with Dr. Capraro and she is fabulous! She comes into the room prepared with all of your important health information, ideas of what issues need to be pursued, and listens attentively to your responses and concerns while very thoroughly going through a series of queries to make sure no stone is unturned. You couldn't ask any more of a physician.

Dr Capraro is very professional, a good listener and an excellent doctor. She will take the time to explain everything and she will not rush you. I feel Dr. Capraro truly cares about each and every one of her patients.

I have been a patient of Dr Capraro for the last couple of years. I always find her to be, kind, compassionate, professional and very knowledgeable. She involves your in decision making regarding your plan of care. I recommend her to any of my friends who are looking for a new family practice Dr/ internist. Dr Capraro is non judgmental which is something one doesn’t always find, having a chronic condition I spend a lot of time judging myself, it is so refreshing to go to an appointment without fear of judgement. As another patient mentioned above I to would drive 2 hours for an appointment with Dr Capraro.

I’ve been going to Dr. Capraro for many years. She as well as her support staff have always taken care of my health needs and beyond. I have seen many doctors for my issues before to no avail. Other doctors treated me like it was all in my head. Not only did Dr Capraro diagnose my issues, she created an effective action plan. I trust this office with my family.

I have been a patient of Dr. Capraro for several years and she is without doubt the most caring, proficient and knowledgeable medical professional I have ever visited. Even after moving over 2 hours from her practice we still make the trip because we are sure that our care is the most important thing on her agenda. I have never had better health care in my life and will remain her patient as long as we can.

Terrible service during my sick visit today. I waited over an hour to be seen and the doc spent 5 min with me and ordered a strep test. I had to come out of the room to remind the nurses to get my results. It’s been over an hour 1/2 since I left and they didn’t send in my prescriptions. I would not recommend this office to anyone.

The whole experience over a one year period was awful. Glad I found a new medical practice. You are just a number there and staff is very unfriendly. PA not very smart it seems, and office manager is an awful person on so many levels. Seek care elsewhere.
