Dr. Capelle integrated all of the above into our visit. I appreciated his genuine concern for my issues. He treated me respectfully, listening intently to my concerns, including me in the decisions needed to be made, carefully and assuredly explaining my condition, and answering my questions clearly and completely. His manner was confident, unhurried, patient, and kind. He projects all the qualities one would hope to find In a physician.
