Rafael Capella
"My first impression of Dr. Capella was incredible. Last night my husband and I went to the initial seminar. There were several questions and he was very up front and competent regarding every issue that was raised. He was not only educated but compassionate about what he does. We scheduled our first appointment with his office for Friday, March 1, 2002. (Only a week away, which is great!) His office staff appears to be competent and caring, I will report more on this later, after I have met with him next week. Aftercare seems to be a priority for him. He doesn't want you to just have the surgery and then be gone. He wants you to see him quite a bit through out the first year and every year after that. So far I rate him an 8. I will report more after my first "official" appointment. 3/2/02 After my appointment, I stand corrected. I would rate Dr. Capella and his staff a 10+. Although the wait was long for the appointment, Dr. Capella is absolutely wonderful. He is very knowledgable, and may be a bit dry...but I would rather have knowledge and compassion over "comedian of the year" any day. Jackie is absolutely wonderful and she is very personable and comforting! (Currently she is 5 months pregnant, so she will surely be missed while on maternity leave) Overall, ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! I will report more as it gets closer to the date! 5/10/02 As I orriginally thought, Dr. Capella and his son are wonderful! Not only were they great with in hospital care, but I had to call Dr. Capella on a weekend to see if something was wrong with hubby (we had surgery on the same day) and Dr. Capella called me back in about 3 minutes. Very wonderful and competent. I would recommend to anyone to wanting WLS Dr. Capella... He is the best! 5/23/02 Hubby and I had our follow-up appointment with Dr Capella... I rate him a 15 on a scale of 1-10! He not only is surgically compentent, has wonderful bedside manner but also is very compassionate and encouraging. He is the BEST!"

"I thought the hospital was great and the nursing staff on our floor was great minus one particular nurse. She was very rude and non-accomodating. HOWEVER, Miriam (nurse on 3) is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! She was great and very patient! "
