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.

My sore knee
My knee was xrayed and Dr Caperton throughly examined and explained what was wrong with my knee. I never felt the shot. He is the best

Great!
Dr. Caperton diagnosed my left knee as arthritic and is going to try a gel injection instead of just steroids again. I appreciate that very much.

Best Orthopedic Doctor EVER
De Caperton did a great job repairing my torn quadriceps tendon. For several years he has also injected bot of my arthritic knees and provided great relief. Love his manner of working with his patients. It’s always a pleasure visiting with him!

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Caperton is punctual. He does not leave you waiting. He is very thorough and to the point. When you leave, you know exactly what is going on, what he’s going to do and what you need to do. Excellent doctor and I would recommend him to anyone with orthopedic issues.

Astounding Results
Dr. Caperton repaired significant damage to my right shoulder. He explained the surgery and my options, answering all my questions. The surgery was extensive (in my mind). Now, 3 months post-surgery, I continue to improve, pain is much less than before my surgery, I feel 10 years younger—I am looking forward to complete healing and return of my strength. Meeting Dr. Caperton was life-changing.

Severe left shoulder arthritis.
DR Caperton was professional, knowledgeable very informative. He spent time explaining my condition & treatments we could try before going to surgery. Eventually I will need a shoulder replacement.

Great Experience
I have been seeing Dr. Caperton for a couple of years for knee problems. I ended up having total knee replacement surgery in February of 2024. The surgery went great, Dr. Caperton updated my husband after surgery to let him know how everything went, and my recovery went very well. If I had to do knee replacement again, I would. Thank you Dr. Caperton!

Loved the doc
Ok so I saw him Monday and his nurse says she is going to send me my FMLA the next day! So I check and nothing so I call on Wednesday and she has left till Monday. I’m stunned I told my work I would have it and I lied so kinda upset about the professionalism of this nurse, but vacation happens right!

Follow up care of knee replacement was outstanding. No surprises of what to expect and the why. I had very little questions because Dr. Caperton and the staff answered everything I could even think of. Great TEAMWORK and of the same mindset . To ensure the safety and comfort of the people who've entrusted families or themselves to their professional family atmosphere that truly exemplifies the best care of love in reaching goals of restoration. Thank you much

He is very good at surgery. He replaced my shoulder and it is doing much better. Even though it took a month to receive home healthcare or therapy due to being discharged without orders. Staff were not helpful in getting me assistance or allow me to communicate with Dr. Caperton or make any other appointments to see him other then the prescheduled appointments that were already scheduled.
