My Approach to Care

As I studied cardiology I became fascinated with the heart's electrical system. Helping people with fast or slow heart rates is something that I really enjoy, and it allows me to work with people of all ages and backgrounds. When I meet with patients, it's important to me to make sure that whatever we decide in our plan of care, that it's based on information sharing and joint decision making.

Every patient is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. Making care and treatment decisions together usually results in much better outcomes.

Great people
November 07, 2024
Considering while I waited for physician lights went off in room. When I was the last to leave clerk had already left for day. Didn't schedule 4month follow up. But not sure if I need approval from VA first. Physician seemed pleasant.

I showed up 15 minutes early for the appointment like requested, but waited for almost a half hour after my scheduled time to see my provider. Just for a quick 5 minute meeting to set up additional tests that could have been done over the phone in my opinion. Providers require that we respect their time, but that doesn't seem to be reciprocated. It's disappointing that I had to take almost two hours away from work for 5 minutes worth of provided care.

Liked this provider very much. Great sense of humor. I am hard of hearing and he spoke in a loud enough voice for me to hear very well. Very knowledgeable.
October 03, 2024
Listened to questions and explained.
October 02, 2024
A-OK

Kapalis genuinely cares & appreciate talking with my wife about my care.
October 01, 2024
The entire staff was very friendly, helpful, and professional. One of the best experiences I've had in a hospital setting. The level of service from the Bryan Hospital staff is beyond comparison to what I've experienced in hospitals in other states.

He listens. He's efficient. Tells me how it is. Got off all medication and that is great!
September 24, 2024
Everyone was very pleasant to talk to and answered all my questions.
September 19, 2024
The only complaint is that we had to wait about 45 minutes past our appointment time before we saw the doctor. We had to reschedule a later appointment that we had that day as we could not get there on time.
September 18, 2024
Excellent and always willing to listen!
September 18, 2024
Everyone was nice and seemed to enjoy working together.

Dr. Kapalis was phenomenal! It's rare for me to say that about a doctor nowadays, but he truly cares about people and it shows. 10/10 recommend him!
August 22, 2024
Very clear explanations after carefully listening to our questions.
August 22, 2024
Dr Kapalis took his time to explain to me the key factors relating to my condition and the benefits of a pace maker. He made clear the pros and cons of acting now. He also answered all my concerns about the surgery. Thank you

Was happy that the doctor didn't want to just cut me open. He wants to find the issue
July 17, 2024
Everyone was very professional and provided answers to my questions.
July 16, 2024
The provider seemed very knowledgeable and he spoke English, which I think is very important. It's hard to have a foreign doctor that talks fast and you can't understand him, but this was not the case with my provider. Thank you.
July 11, 2024
He was honest and open about what we should probably do next. He explained the procedure, and recovery time frame for follow up. He made it easy to make the decision to go ahead.

June 20, 2024
Dr. Kapalis was very professional and listened very carefully to my questions and concerns and he explained things in a way that I could understand.
June 19, 2024
My visit was a referral, and I expected to hear "you need immediate surgery" . Instead, Dr. Kapalis simply used the approach of, "watch it and see how your body will heal itself". He answered my "dumb questions .... questions of "why and why", in a way that I could understand. I left his office with a good feeling about his knowledge and his approach to treatment, that was definitely reassuring. I liked him.
June 19, 2024
Everyone was courteous and prompt. Please share.
June 18, 2024

June 06, 2024
Very personable
June 05, 2024
I felt comfortable after I talk to the doctor as because I was not familiar with a pacemaker

March 26, 2024
Good kind folks.
March 20, 2024
The provider was okay, but the question and answer thing is for the birds, I kept pressing 10 and it would say that I pressed a 1. I pressed a 10 and I like this provider.
March 20, 2024
I don't know if all of the numbers I hit are right. Everything was absolutely perfect. I felt heard. I felt seen. I felt understood. And I would rate this provider a 10 out of 10 every single day. Thank you.
February 22, 2024
We were seen promptly and were treated with respect. Our visit there included four your staff, and I couldn't have asked for a better more pleasant experience. The information we were given was a bit concerning, but knew it would probably be coming. Thank you all so much for your care and concern. I could not have asked for more.

I had very good service. I've been trying to push 10 on the phone and only received the 1. It will not take 1 zero. But I cannot ask for better service. Thank you.
January 16, 2024
Genuinely concerned. Taking steps moving forward with my treatment that are reasonable to get more information on my condition. Appreciated everyone there.
January 16, 2024
Dr. Kapalis was fantastic. He probably spent 25 minutes with me answering questions and he even removed some stitches from my chest that had not completely dissolved and were causing a slight irritation. He truly seemed like he cared about both as a person and a patient. He is a fantastic and knowledgeable doctor and has a great and easy going personality. I would highly recommend him.
January 03, 2024
Wonderful and caring!
January 03, 2024
Dr Kapaulis has a gift of being extremely knowledgeable and able to inform in a down to earth manner. My husband and I felt very reassured. Kay, one of the RN's, was absolutely delightful. She has a very warm and comforting manner.
