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.

Always very professional, on time, and takes time for you. I v never felt rushed. He is compassionate and caring.

Can I give zero stars!? I brought my neice to her appointment with her 2 year old son that has a diagnosis of Autism. There was no patients in the waiting room. My neices's son was running through the waiting room for about 5 minutes. We had him calmed down and sitting on one of the waiting room couches and gathering our things to take him outside when Dr. Capps came out to the waiting room yelling and verbally assaulting us because the baby had been running through the waiting room. We explained to him that the baby was autistic and he stated he didn't care. This man is an uncaring and insensitive individual. This is my neices's first and last visit to Dr. Capp's office. His office staff who reported the incident to him is just as insensitive and uncaring as he is. No wonder he had no patients.

He's a compassionate and very knowledgeable physician!! He has diagnosed immune disorders with me that other Rheumatologists have not. He's so very kind to his patients and I think he's the best Rheumatologist ever. I would highly recommend him!!
