Am a dental student who had a spine surgery with him, he injured my C6 nerve that supplies my left arm, now I can not control it, he rendered me a handicap patient, rather treating me, he added a nerve damage to my previous symptoms, he did not honer trusting him, and when I went back to him for the follow up appointment he said: We have witnesses that you signed the consent forms and there is nothing you can do, and he did not answer any of my questions.
I came upon this previous negative review about Dr. Caputy when I was looking for a spine doctor for an employee of ours. Doctors also have bills to pay and if we want to keep good doctors in our country, they need to be paid and very well if I might add.
He cares only about getting money out of my insurance, I had the best insurance that covers everything 100%, he also will make sure that he is legally covered by making you sign all the paper works few seconds before your surgery rushing you.
Ya know, I just had to put my 2 cents in here. I am shocked to see this previous negative review. It appears he has written 2 negative reviews. If you click his circle, 2 reviews come up. They are both about Dr. Caputi and they are both negative.
He also did not explain any risks or any possible complications behind any surgery he performs, I just went though a dishonest surgeon whom I trusted him, but he failed to show optimum patient care.
Long story made short, Now in 2015 my son is living the quality of life as nothing has happened to him. It took him about 1- 1.5 years to feel completely back to where he was before the accident.
He caused a permanent damage to my left arm with a permanent numbness in my thumb and index finger which is so essential for everyone especially being a dentist like my case.
In 2002 my son fell 40 feet rock climbing in WV. He compressed his spine but was still alive. In the Winchester VA medical center, the spine doctor recommended we transport him closer to our home after they were able to stabilize him a few days later. He would need a lot of surgeries and physical therapy. They gave us little hope our 21 year old son would walk again. I asked the dr. if it were his son, what doctor would he want to perform the surgery. He said Dr. Anthony Caputy. The reason for this is because Dr. Caputy teaches this procedure and has performed 1000's of them. He said he is the best in the country. We followed his advice and my son, Nick had 2 very long surgeries 3 days apart. The 1st lasted 12 hrs and the 2nd lasted 9.5 hours. Basically, the lower part of his spine needed to be rebuilt. After the surgery, in the hospital, Dr. Caputy would visit his patients at about 5:00 am each morning with a group of his students. We were there for about a month so we got to know other patients of his. At that time, people came to him from all over the country.
A sincere advice from my personal experience, please don't seek his help if you care about yourself.
Before surgery he mentioned he will operate on the left side of my neck and he will leave any scar, but after surgery I found out he operated on the back of my neck and left an awful scar.
He promised that my surgery is very successful, but he hided any complications and I was rushed to sign the consent forms few seconds before going to his surgery.
