Patient Testimonial

"I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Capp & his staff! I recently relocated to the area and needed a new hip – I didn’t know him till I walked into the office, and he put me at ease immediately! He was very thorough, took time to explain everything, and has a GREAT sense of humor! From beginning to end, the doctor and the staff were TOPS - especially during these difficult times of COVID that we’re living in, they kept my wife up to date every step of the way! There was not one person that I came in contact with that was not extremely pleasant, helpful & knowledgeable! "
