After the death of my father I took my mother for her usual monthly appointment and was surprised…read moreat how disinterested and uncaring he seemed. I chalked it up to him having a bad day. My wife took her to her next appointment with him at the wound center. The experience was even worse with him talking to patients, nurses and assistants as if they were garbage. Don't subject yourself or a loved one to someone in a vocation whose heart isn't in it. There are too many other podiatrists in the Hudson Valley who do care. Dr. Cappa crosses the line as a human being. The best thing we've done for my mother was to make sure she never had to endure him again.

Not a good experience at Cappa Podiatry. After tests for neuropathy were confirmed (by a…read moreneurologist outside their practice) I felt let down and disappointed about their response. Only recommendation was a cream concoction developed Dr. Cappa for $140 not covered by insurance. I tried it and it was useless. In addition they scheduled me for an appointment several months down the road. I forgot to put in on my calendar but they never sent out a reminder via text or e-mal or phone a few days before the visit. EVERY doctor or group I go to provides a reminder of some sort. I was charged for a cancelled visit. Bye bye Cappa Podiatry.

I have to update this review because Dr. Harry Houdini got me with smoke & mirrors!…read more First I have to say the doctor is really, really nice with a very good bedside manner, however that's where it ends. He seems like he knows what he's doing but visit after visit seemed to prove useless. After several visits for the same foot issue I had to switch doctors which rectified my issue (which was minor) after two visits while Mr. Houdini kept me coming back several times, I'm convinced, to pocket my co-payments. His wonderful personality and bedside manner really got me on my initial review but I need great treatment as well as a wonderfully spirited doctor. My issue wasn't that serious but had I needed surgery I would be called "The One Foot Bandit" right about now cause I would have probably lost a foot.

You are not rushed out of the room, he spends an ample amount of time with his patients. Dr Altwergers staff, Robin and Toni Ann are fantastic! They are quick to help and thoughtful!

The office manager is unprofessional and unable to take accountability for her actions…read more After I expressed my concerns for the office's lack of communication with one another (I called and left a message to see if I needed to make a payment on my account at the time of the appointment as I've always done and no returned my call. Unfortunately I had to make a trip to the office to find out that I did need to make a payment and if I was unable to I would need to reschedule and pay at that time which I did (this is normally). Unless the office manager bypasses for one reason or another. Then the following day or two I finally received a return call from the office while I was sitting in the waiting room for my rescheduled appointment informing me that I needed to reschedule and make another appointment. I explained that the late response and lack of communication amongst the staff was very stressful and problematic for patients trying to juggle busy lives. At this point I noted the lack of accountability demonstrated by the office manager as it was alarming and extremely disappointing. After this visit for the first time in over 10 years I was blocked from making visits and paying at the time of visit due to a previous balance(Management discretion). For example the appointment that I am describing was schedule and payment was made towards my balance at time of the appointment prior to seeing the doctor. Either way this ensures that the office gets paid and my bill does not increase. However now this feels more like a personal vendetta against me for speaking up about my concerns. I am a cash patient with no insurance. Now i must pay prior to appointment, then wait for an appointment to become available that works with my schedule. In some instance this could take several days or weeks. This is direct retaliation caused by expressing my concerns. It's truly freighting that someone could behave like this, in the health field where doctors and staff play such a vital role. I have patronized this business for years and this is the first instance I was treated poorly which is especially shocking as this greatly affects my health and quality of life. Dr Cappa, Schwartz and my former podiatrist who has since left the practice along with his amazing assistant. No one else prior to this current office manager has ever behaved like this. Everyone has always been personable and empathetic. Also when I mentioned my disappointment with lack of communication within the office staff. I was verbally ridiculed by the medical assistant who loudly spoke amongst the office staff and office manager and she stated "Not today Satan." Unfortunately, she was also the assistant to the new very cold distant podiatrist I saw. When I asked her was she referring to me as she made the comment immediately after I expressed my concerns. she responded," No I wasn't" with a nasty hostile tone. That interaction was then followed with meeting the new podiatrist who lacked a bedside manner however he was very gentle and effective. The black girl at the front desk is always super sweet and down to earth and reminds me of what Cappa Podiatry use to be.

The waiting room was pretty full, still no one acknowledged me or gave me any directions. After approximately 10 minutes I found out that I needed to put my name on a list which I did. I sat down to wait for my name to be called and as I waited as most people do I was on my c Cell phone. After several minutes I saw people that came after me getting signed in, checked the list and sad my name crossed off. When I asked why I was told that I looked as if I was busy so she skipped right over me. Didn't even want to come here because of previous terrible care like a doctor who when I cried following a diagnosis said, " it's not like I told you you have cancer" . Now just one more reason why I need to find a new orthopedic doctor. DONT USE ORTHOPEDIC ASSOCIATES OF DUTCHESS COUNTY!!!!!!!
