Dr. Kaptyn, is the most passionate and caring doctor that I've had. He is empathetic and shows concern about my well-being. He's a great doctor and I would recommend him to anyone for pain management.
Easy to make an appointment (they reached out to me after primary care doctor submitted a referral). I was not kept waiting at the office visit. Doctor asked pertinent questions and answered my questions.

He is working with me trying to see why my back hurts
Great and expert Dr. With multiple pain earas he put a good plan to manage the pain Thanks Dr Kapteyn
An amazing doctor, not only did Dr. Kapteyn take the “actual” time to fully listen to my diagnosis, but educated me on a few new things I could do to help me with my chronic illness pain. I am so grateful I crossed paths with this Doctor, which will show you genuine empathy; very educated in internal medicine. Thank you Dr. Kapteyn, definitely earned my trust & will be an ongoing patient.
Good to much
I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Kapteyn! He listens well; answers questions patiently and to be understood rather than to impress; and obviously knows his stuff! I went in with a deep middle back pain. Thanks to Dr. Kapteyn, pain all gone!
Dr listened to what I needed to get rid of my shoulder pain so I could get off pain medication and also solve that possible complecation. I will rate the doctor after pain injections. But he does listen and that is most important to me. Joseph Pawlicki
Minimum wait time; excellent interaction with staff and doctors all of whom listened, took notes and provided feedback, suggestions and recommendations for care and trteatment in the present and potential needs in ther future.
Very nice, he seem to know his stuff, I will keep him as my doctor.
The doc and his staff were wonderful. I enjoyed talking with them and he asked the right questions. Just a pleasure as I was not the best patient. The facility was terrible and seemed to be 409 years old. Don’t forget to bring your credit card because you will pay $7/day to park. I think the place should pay me to come to disaster of a buildings. Don’t blame the doctor for that as was really good.
Dr. Kapteyn interviewed me. Listened to my descriptions of pain issues and then discussed potential solutions, and asked my thoughts about how I would like to proceed. We reached a mutually agreeable plan and set out a program to execute it.
Excellent treatment
You all are so great
I love it yes I do I will turn somebody else onto him

Professional caring service.
Doctor did best he could to alleviate my pain
I’ve been a patient here for a few years and formally had the pleasure of working with Dr. Dihn. She has moved on to a different specialty, but I was very pleased when I made a last-minute phone call Thursday afternoon begging them to make an appointment for me the next day because of my severe back pain. After being put on a brief hold, the nice gentleman on the other end of the line told me that he had two options for me for the following day He did mention that there is a new doctor in town and he is amazing. I showed up at 11 AM the following day I was immediately seen. First by the medical assistant, who was an awesome guy, very helpful and kind And then they brought in the big guns Dr. K He was pleasant, to the point, and most importantly, he put his hands on my back and checked the areas that was complaining about Sensing my urgency and stress about the intense pain, I was dealing with, and the fact that I had to do a photo shoot in San Francisco in a couple days, Dr. K multiple trigger point shot injections right on the spot He was very clear in his communication and instantly made me feel at ease. I will deeply miss Doctor Dihn I am equally happy to have a new back specialist looking after me If I could give 10 stars, I would Drew X
Excellent!
