Dr. Capella and ALL his staff were wonderful. I am extremely happy with my results so far. I am not completely healed but from what I can see, everything is looking the way it’s supposed to. I flew in from South Dakota to specifically have this done with Dr. Capella. I had met with 11 (no joke) surgeons prior to speaking with Dr. Capella. After our initial phone call and doing my research on him, I finally booked my surgery, flights and hotel stay. I would do it all over again! Dr. Capella is was so nice and made me feel like I wasn’t just another patient. He took the time to thoroughly go over both procedures I was having. He also visited the next morning while I was in a recovery/care facility. Kerry is his ‘right hand gal’ and she is fantastic along with his assistant, Scott. There was also another traveling nurse that helped with my procedure, I think her name was Rachelle? She was so friendly and had a very calming presence. Communication with both Kerry and Macey were superlative. I sent a ton of emails and my questions were always answered in a timely fashion. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Capella and his staff.
I lost around 200 lbs and was left with a body that destroyed my mental health. With saggy skin rolls everywhere, mirrors were banished from my house as seeing myself naked would immediately result in tears. My mental health was destroyed and seemed irreparable. The pandemic provided me the time and space to do intensive research; the different combination of surgeries, the outcomes, the risks, the horror stories, and then the surgeons. Once I was ready to start looking at surgeons, I established principles of how I would make a decision: price will not be a deciding factor; I won't compromise with my expectations or health; and I do a full professional background search and history before doing a consult with any doctor - lawsuits, licences and credentials, reviews, medical association standings, sanctions, reviews, etc. I consulted with two surgeons locally and wasn't impressed with their results or price, even if OHIP would pay for one of the procedures. I then expanded my search to my province and all major cities in Canada and had the same disappointment for price, consult and results or a combo of two.
I then expanded my search to all of North America and realized I need to focus on plastic surgeons that specialize in weight loss reconstructive body surgery, to get the results I am looking for. Dr Capella was the first doctor that got short listed. I went through all of his body lift before and afters on his website. Once I got to page 10, I saw my body in the before and after. His before and after pictures then became the standard to compare all other surgeons.
My virtual consult with Dr C made me like him instantly. He listened to my laundry list of issues I had with my body. He laid out his recommended plan and when there was options, he engaged me on my preferences, which was for a smoking hot body!! He took the time explained how each of the issues I had with my body could be addressed and never pushed anything on me or recommended something that didn’t address the issues I outlined. He heard me — really, actually heard me! It took me a lot of time and consults but I narrowed it down to him and another doctor as they both met my mandatory criteria, but when it came down to it, Dr C met every one of my additional preferences or “nice to haves”. I immediately called his office and paid the deposit to secure a surgery date.
As I was driving about 6 hours from Canada, his office did a fantastic job to help me coordinate all presurgery requirements in a 24 hour trip for a face to face consult with Dr C for the formal surgical plan, sizing for implants and connected me with a doctor that could complete the pre-surgical clearance and blood work. I brought my friend with me who was going to take care of me after surgery. We both were amazed and impressed after meeting Dr C face to face. We can’t say enough kind things about him and his team!
Two weeks after the in person consult, I’m getting surgery for a circumferential abdominoplasty, Brachioplasty, Flankplasty and Breast Augmentation with Saline Implant on March 22, 2022! Dr Cs surgical team put my mind immediately at ease. Of course an amazing surgeon is going to build an amazing surgical team! The nurses, Scott and the anesthesiologist are fantastic and take such good care of you!! I’ve never been so excited for something in my life. The surgery went amazing and I felt no pain. I was a little uncomfortable but I took a Tylenol the night and morning after surgery and needed nothing else. I was up and about walking a mile and a half, 2 days after surgery to get coffee. I negotiated with Dr C to stay in the US until the first set of drains were removed and then have virtual follow ups. If anything went wrong, he’d work with my Canadian doctor or go back to NJ. I sent pictures before I removed the remaining drains myself and Scott immediately responded how great they look and that I was ready. Twice I emailed pictures of things I was wondering if I should be concerned about and right away, Scott replied putting my mind at ease and explaining that everything was good.
Today I had my 6-week virtual follow up with Dr C. I’ve had no issues, complications or pain, and some of the incisions you can’t even see anymore (breast augmentation) or are small white lines (arms and flanks)! I couldn’t thank him enough on the phone for being so amazing and the artistry he performed on my body. I then raised proceeding with our plan as it’s an unfinished masterpiece and turned our follow up into a consult. He laid out a plan for my remaining transformation and we negotiated how long I would stay and the follow up. I didn’t even need a half second to think about it. I immediately asked him to send me a quote, so that I could pay the deposit to secure the next available surgical date 3 months post op. Tomorrow I’m calling Kerry to secure a surgery date before you read this review and take the date.
Dr. Joseph Capella performed my brachioplasty and I love the results. I had no pain, openings, infections, or complications. After surgery either the Dr or his staff followed up with phone calls to make sure all was good. I had three other consults with other plastic surgeons and felt he was the best for me since loosing over 135 lbs. Dr Capella and his staff ( Kerry, Macey and Scott) are the best!
Dr. Capella and his entire staff are simply amazing. They are so kind, professional and talented. He has truly changed my life for the better and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. I had a lower body lift and breast implant exchange, lift and reduction at the same time and he did an amazing job. I am 6 weeks out and Dr Capella, Scott, Macy and Kerri have all been there for me every step of the way. They are approachable, I feel comfortable to talk to them about anything and they answer immediately. Dr Capella is so kind he reassures you if you’re not happy with something in time he will fix it and doesn’t make you feel bad about it. I was so scared of the pain and the scar that would be left with a lower body lift but it looks amazing!! I never once was in pain, I took the pain killers he prescribed, make sure you take them to the aftercare facility because they don’t have any there and after two days I only needed extra strength Tylenol. People constantly ask how do you sit if your cut all the way around. You are numb I didn’t even feel it. I was uncomfortable but no pain, where I was ever crying or screaming. After surgery the ambulate picks you up to go to the aftercare faculty, they were wonderful and kind as well, I was so scared of the ambulance ride but they were so gentle. The after care facility was nice and I had a private room. I emailed Dr Caopella in the middle of the night, he called me immediately and came in at 6am. His Aftercare is amazing. I email them and they answer you immediate by email or phone call. I wish there was 10 stars to give this staff. If anyone has questions please email me, you won’t be sorry choosing Dr. Capella.
Three months ago Dr Capella performed my extended brachioplasty. The Dr and his staff are the best - they are very professional, informative, and always get back to me promptly. I had no openings, infections, problems, pain or complications following surgery!
Dr Capella did a remarkable job. He was honest about everything financially and explained everything to me step by step. What a wonderful experience. Thank you Dr Capella for giving me my confidence back.
Dr. Capella has now completed 2 surgeries for me. An arm lift and now a body lift. I have known Dr Capella for many years. I see his work at my facility and many of our nurses and staff have been to him personally. He is thorough. Directed. Really enjoys being able to assist. This isn't a money issue.
