          Not only was I able to make an appointment for my Daughter the same day, but Dr. Cappiello was a pleasure to meet with. He was running a little behind from being at the hospital. Never did we feel rushed. He viewed my Daughters scans and record before coming in to meet with us. He was very polite, very patient and answered all of our questions.
