The doctor had looked at my chart prior to coming in the room and was able to discuss treatment options without having to ask me why I was there. After my appointment I remembered some questions I had that I wish he would have asked me about but otherwise he was fine.

All, very good !
Nov 13, 2022
He seemed disinterested in my case and spent less than 5 minutes with me.
Nov 13, 2022
Everyone else there was really kind and helpful. The doctor was the one disinterested so I would probably No recommend him.
Nov 12, 2022
It is the first time I have not had excellent care.
Nov 8, 2022
Even though he was late, he wasn't rushed with me which I appreciated. I felt like he listened and made an appropriate plan of more testing with me coming back to discuss results and further care.
Oct 13, 2022
Because of the doctors attitude I would not recommend him to anyone.

Seemed rushed and superficial.

Dr Capener seemed to be very irritated and lacked any concern for anything I said. My sister was with me and she made the comment that he wasn't very friendly. This was her first time meeting him. Not sure what his problem was but NOT GOOD!

He is the best doctor iv seen for a while.
Apr 19, 2022
My first encounter with my doctor was less than ideal, I felt brushed off. Once I knew what to ask and tell him, he has been great and on top of things with a plan of action

Doc was not to personable
Jan 26, 2022
Dr Capener was civil and presented me with some limited options for treatment. He seemed annoyed I was there. Maybe because there's not a lot he can do to help my case, I probably just need to modify my diet. I wouldn't be surprised if he left the exam ro

Office staff was very friendly and helpful. My issue was with the physician.
Nov 1, 2021
Dr. Did not seem very interested in my health concerns. He did not explain the proposed procedure at all. I'm not even sure if he is the one doing the procedure.
Oct 24, 2021
I have already referred Dr Capener to a friend! I am very pleased with him I think he is one of the best Dr for me !

Good
Oct 23, 2021
I have no doubt that this Doctor knows his stuff. HoweverI have doubts that he knew anything about me. If you are coming in for a follow-up ER visit the staff should at the very least know why you were referred to this practice. Again, no doubt of his co

Aug 27, 2021
Dr seemed dry, not very approachable, no hands on exam, just asked why I needed to be seen , then discussed care from a distance
Jul 31, 2021
I simply chose to see Dr Capener since he did my colonoscopy and endoscopy. He wouldn't win any personality awards either time I spoke with him. However he was knowledgeable and helped me understand the reality of my prognosis.
Jul 30, 2021
Dr. Capener had very poor bedside manner. He came in and immediately was very negative and made it feel like I had no other options than what he was recommending. . From the beginning I did not feel like Dr. Capener was caring.. If anything he gets p

Rude and condescending. When I described my past visits regarding my condition he said, I find that really hard to believe I have lived with this condition for about half my life now, implying that I am lying does not make me happy. I even authorized fo
