EXCELLENT!

I am hearing impaired, and Dr. Capps was very helpful and made sure I understood her.

For the past year I’ve had multiple encounters with several physicians due to health issues. While they all have been wonderful and professional, there is only one that has gone above and beyond in regards to my care. Dr. Capps is extremely professional and knowledgeable in her field of ophthalmology but she has taken a vested interest in my overall care. Most doctors don’t have the time to discuss anything other than the primary focus of the visit. Dr. Capps has shown that I am more than a visit. Although she is my eye surgeon, she took the time to ask how I was doing with my other medical issues. I was extremely anxious of an upcoming surgery and she was able to discuss it with me and offer advice. She called me after my appointment and really alleviated my fears. Her compassion came from her heart. Sometimes patients need more than prescriptions and procedures. They need compassion. I can’t thank Dr. Capps enough for everything she did to help me. I will never forget it.

Our Response:
