He was very encouraging with my progress. Took time and answered all of my questions.

It's always good to see Dr. Capito, he listens and he cares. I had a wrist issue over four years ago and he took care of me. No problems since my injection. I went back to see him for my shoulder and he immediately jumped into action. I am grateful for his kindness and care! The visit was short but he did not make me feel like I was a bother to him. I would recommend him to anyone for care!

Sending me to get a MRI on my rt shoulder. Nothing about the pain I'm experiencing between now, the MRI, my next visit.
I've tried ibuprofen but it makes me vomit.
Mar-2023
One of the only doctors/specialists I have had that has taken the time to discuss my options, the pros and cons of those options, and example of patents that have made each choice! I would recommend Dr. Capito to ANYONE!
Mar-2023
Called today and was able to see Dr and get injection in shoulder today . Friendly and helpful .
Mar-2023
Dr. Capito is an awesome doctor.
Mar-2023
Really liked him and his common sense approach
Mar-2023
I feel like he was very insensitive to my injury and pain simply because I hurt it 2. 1/2 months ago. Just because I didn’t come in immediately and continued to work doesn’t mean I can or have been working to my full capacity. I am single and have to work to support myself. I have to stand for hours in long oral surgery procedures, I am limited in how far and high I can work or what I can lift. I can’t sleep or get relief no matter what I do. I feel he should have put me on light duty and a weight restriction until we find out what’s wrong. I can not put any weight on my shoulder to even lift my self or pull up my pants. Just because the X-ray showed no fractures doesn’t mean I am not in pain.
Mar-2023
Dr. Capitol is polite and kind. He showed concern with the pain of my
Injury and I appreciate that. Ty
Mar-2023
Was able to get an appointment fast. I arrived a bit early. The front office staff are friendly and helpful. New patient forms were quick and easy to complete. Was seen by the clinical staff for xrays prior to my appointment time and did not have to wait but a few minutes before being seen by Capito. Great experience.
Mar-2023
Top Doctor. Truly cares about his patients
Mar-2023
I am a new patient and I knew within 5 mins of Dr. Capito coming into the room and speaking with me that I was in the right place!
Mar-2023
Dr Capito is precise and to the point. He did a great job repairing a major tear in my right shoulder.
Feb-2023
Very pleasant and concerned about his patients.
Feb-2023
He’s good, just needs to slow down a bit while in the room with patients. It’s always great when a provider can get to know their patients.
Feb-2023
I appreciate the fact that Dr. Capito answers my questions as well as gives me references and videos about my procedure. This gives me prospective on what is going on and what to expect. Being a Exercise Physiologist and a medical background it is important for patients to know what going on.
Feb-2023
Best shoulder replacement doctor in Augusta!

Dr Capito’s plan to work with me forward to relieve my pain in the torn muscle until such time as recovery is complete or surgery required was very reassuring. His knowledge and explanations of my problems was very thorough.

Aug-2022
Liked but too busy
Aug-2022
Didn't even attempt to try to see what was really going on with me. Just a 10 minute visit and basically guess what he thinks it is. Its like he didn't care just trying to hurry me yup and out. I'm still clueless on what's going on with me.

Jun-2022
This physician took very little time with me. He did a poor job of explaining my diagnosis and course of treatment.
Jun-2022
Dr capito immediately put me at ease I was so concerned about my shoulder he explained everything to me in language that I could understand he is a great doctor. He gave me a shot in my shoulder and my arm is so much better I am so thankful
Jun-2022
I feel a little rush. Like he comes in and says everything look fine then he's up and gone. No too time to ask questions.
I do appreciate the good job he did. And I would rend him if some need surgery as lone as they don't mind being rushed.
Jun-2022
in my experience I think a doctor should explain all the effects
from the surgery with a lot of patience and kindness. Because we are humans not meat too slaughter.
Jun-2022
I was in for a followup visit and felt his attention was on something else rather than me.
