Dr. Richard Capaln is an excellent doctor. He reassured me when I was admitted by explaining exactly how I was going to be treated and the positive outcome I could expect. My family and I knew I was going to be in good hands. When I later saw him in the office he answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. He ordered several tests then and when the results were available later that day he called me himself!
