How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Dr Capella is the Michelangelo of a body Lifts!!
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
