Meet the Staff Monday: Dr. Capao! 🩺
Raised on a farm, Dr. Capao graduated from veterinary school in 2003 and began his career in mixed animal and swine practice before transitioning to small animal medicine more than 10 years ago. Over the years, he has developed an impressive range of skills and has become an invaluable member of our team.
Dr. Capao has a particular passion for surgery and regularly takes on complex cases, including amputations, mass removals, and many other advanced surgeries. His expertise extends far beyond the operating room, however. In general practice, his quick thinking, diagnostic abilities, and strong internal medicine knowledge help him tackle even the most challenging cases.
One of Dr. Capao's most remarkable qualities is his calm and patient approach with nervous or fearful pets. It's not uncommon to see him walk into a room with a barking, lunging dog and, within minutes, have that same patient relaxed and comfortable. He has a natural gift for connecting with animals, paired with a genuine empathy that helps both pets and their owners feel at ease.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Capao enjoys spending time with his wife, children, and Sheena, his sweet and adventurous dog who has been affectionately compared to Snuffleupagus! When he’s not caring for patients, you can often find him playing tennis, camping, fishing, or listening to classic rock
Fun fact: Dr. Capao's snack of choice is a banana. If he shows up to work without one, the team knows something must be out of the ordinary! 🍌
We are incredibly grateful to have Dr. Capao as both a veterinarian and practice owner. His knowledge, compassion, and dedication make a lasting impact on our patients, clients, and team every day. Thank you, Dr. Capao, for everything you do!
