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.

Natural results
The consultation was thorough. The results are remarkable and I look as young as I feel. The changes to my face are natural-looking - not like I 'had work done.' I had only a week of 'downtime' that included working from home. My skin care routine has improved 100%.

Incredible artistry!
My results were transformational. I had body contouring (liposuction) done for stubborn fat that was resistant to diet and exercise. My clothes fit so much better and I wasn't self conscious in a bikini this summer for the first time since I was a teenager. The staff was wonderful and made me comfortable trough the whole process.

Caring and competent
My experience of Dr. Capek is that she is kind and clearly loves what she does. She is personable as well as very professional. I felt well taken care of by her and also all her staff. The surgery she performed was to change my ears to lay closer to my head and make them a little smaller. Big protruding ears has been an issue my whole life...I have always been conscious to hide my ears because I was teased as a young child. Finally, at age 59, I was able to take the time for the surgery and healing and also learned I could easily get financing (info given to me at Dr. Capek's office). So I got brave and did it and am so happy about it. Healing ear cartilage takes time, but I can put my hair up in barrettes or a pony tail like I have always wanted to. It's an amazing life change–life is just a bit easier and I have more confidence which is priceless and makes it possible to feel free and happy more often.

Disappointed
The Dr became very nasty after I expressed my disappointment in the results. She kept insisting on a more invasive procedure that I was not comfortable with, pointing out everything I “should” be fixing. It was like an after school special on bullying. She actually said to me - “Your baby fat isn’t so cute anymore, is it?”. Disgusted with the amount of money I spent to be treated like that.

Dr. Capek did a major, 3-1/2 hour face/necklift, lip plumping & cheek padding for me 2 weeks ago. I’m thrilled with the outcome; I look 20 years younger & the improvement will contine as I heal. Dr. Capek asked me to bring photos of my younger self to the consult so she could restore my former appearance instead of creating a new one; none of the other (male) surgeons I consulted last spring thought to do that. She and her staff are thoroughly professional and very nice. Highly recommend!

Dr. Capek is truly an amazing surgeon. For over 20 years I could not breath out of my left nostril due to a deviated septum. The sinus headaches were overwhelming. Dr. Capek performed a septoplasty with no outside incisions and I can finally breath! I had a face and neck lift as well, I am so pleased with the outcome, the only thing I regret is not visiting Dr. Capek sooner! Additionally, her staff is professional, knowledgeable and understanding about your case.

Dr Capek and her dedicated staff put me at ease with their knowledge and caring. After my facelift, neck lift with platysmaplasty and microfat grafting, I look much younger and refreshed without the appearance of a stretched and unnatural look. The Ellis nursing staff was wonderful from beginning to end. The total experience was wonderful. Patience is important.

Dr. Capek is an amazing and skilled surgeon. She was extremely informative during my consultation and has a very kind, sincere and trusting bedside manor. Her years of experience are quite apparent from the first visit to my post-op appointment. From the first meeting with Dr. Capek until now she has answered all of my questions, spent adequate time with me making me feel confident and comfortable. The office staff was very welcoming and made my whole surgical experience go very smooth.

She really did not understand my concerns. She did not give me a examine. Not impressed. Not worth 150. consultation fee. I found out it was my platysma muscle giving the pulling down feeling on the sides of my face. She was clueless?

Dr. Capek and her team are amazing!!! I couldn't have asked for a better experience or result in my breast reduction surgery. She listens to the needs of her patients and is empathic, kind and confident. Ellis hospital that she is affiliated with is also a breath of fresh air with positivity and professionalism. I'm truly grateful for Dr. Capek changing my life and relieving me of my pain.
