Dr. John Caponigro is a Godsend. Doctor did the surgery on my ankle 8 weeks ago and it’s healing as expected. Thank GOD!!! He’s well informed, extremely knowledgeable, knew exactly where and what the problem was. Gave me options of therapy. But at the end I decided to move forward with the surgery. He’s always reachable when I had a question before and after the surgery. He treats his patients as human beings with respect and he’s very caring. Unlike nowadays all specialists sees their patients as $$$ sign. I have been skeptical for over 10 years in to getting this surgery done, and finally I was able to with the trust and support from Dr. Caponigro. His staff (Regina) is a sweet heart. They all go above and beyond to help and address any issues or requests. They never turn the patients away. They’re very respectful and understanding. Please whoever is looking into getting any sort of foot surgery, I’d highly recommend to visit Dr. Caponigro’s office for a consultation. You won’t regret it!!! Thank you Doc!!!!!

No words to explain how great Dr.Caponigro is . Very professional, cares for his patients and always there for you whenever, wherever you need him. My surgery and post op recovery went well because of him. I'm so thanksful for Dr. Caponigra. Same to say for his medical secretary Regina who is an angel , very thoughtful and always answers calls right away. I had my dad seen by Dr. Caponigro and recommend Dr. Caponigro to anyone .

I had an ankle arthroscopy with Dr. Caponigro. Aside from how smart and informed he is, he was able to identify the issue and provided multiple options to address the issue of which I felt surgery was best. He answered what I would call "an avalanche of questions." He was patient with me and helped me decide the best option based on future goals; I visited several times months apart while I was deciding what to do and he was always ready to answer my questions and didn't rush me. He and his staff ensured I had regularly scheduled follow ups to heal post-op and checked in with me. One thing you can be sure of is this doctor's #1 priority is your health and wellbeing. I've never been surprised or stuck with a bill. I never had to wait extended periods of time to see him. I didn't even have to think about those things- he never made me worry about anything. And when you are done healing and ready to get back on your feet he will make sure you do that, he won't keep you in any unnecessary visit loops. Also there's a lot to be said about Dr. Caponigro's staff: also very nice and always professional. One of his main staff is Regina, she is always positive and upbeat and returns your calls if she misses your call. Not sure if it gets any better. Believe me he and his staff are the best, I spent ages looking for an ankle surgeon and I am very happy with my decision.
