Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Cappuccino was very helpful, friendly and professional. I cannot say enough how satisfied I am having been treated by her!

Dr. Cappuccino took time to initially meet with my husband and me to discuss my breast cancer and surgery. She did a wonderful job with my surgery. Her staff takes time to answer questions both in person and when you call with questions or concerns.

Amazing Top Surgery Results
What many people don't know about Dr. Cappuccino is that although she works at Roswell Park, she offers top surgery for trans men. At first, I was nervous to see her, as you usually don't find doctors that specialize in gender confirmation at cancer hospitals. From the moment she walked in, she was kind, welcoming, and judgement free. She did her exam, answered any questions I had, and got me on the schedule about 3 months out.Leading up to surgery, I was having issues with my insurance, and she made sure it was taken care of.The day of surgery, she popped by with her scrubs on, initialed my chest, and soon enough I woke up in recovery, more at home in my body than ever.She's changed my life, and my outlook on a lot. It's hard feeling like your body isn't yours, and having the opportunity to make it more at home is something no one would take for granted.I'm happy; and I haven't been in a long time. None of this would be possible if it wasn't for Dr. Cappuccino.
