Dr Daniel Kapp is the perfect combination of being both knowledgeably skilled and compassionately caring. In my opinion, he is the perfect surgeon.
I had a skin cancer on the side of my nose removed by my dermatologist and was referred to Dr Kapp for the repair and closure of the surgical wound. Dr Kapp removed a section of skin from near my ear and grafted this to my nose. He had told me within a year, the scars will become lighter and not even noticeable. Now 6 months later, he is right! The thin scar line near my ear matches perfectly to an identical line near my opposite ear, as if it was always there! And the 1/2 inch area in my nose is near invisible!
That is the skill, now the compassion…
On that last check up visit, I made it known to Dr Kapp that I had just received a highly abnormal mammogram and ultrasound that showed breast cancer and was to be scheduled for a biopsy, 3 weeks out. I was telling him this so that I might ask who he would recommend as an oncologist. Dr Kapp was immediately concerned and asked if I had the ultrasound report, which I showed him. He then left the room for a few minutes and came back with the name of an oncologist, whom I did go to. But more importantly he told me that based on the report, I could not wait three weeks for a biopsy. While he had stepped out, Dr Kapp had called the Breast center at Good Sam and arranged for me to go there and have a biopsy appointment that same week. Not only that, Dr Kapp personally walked me out of his office, across the parking garage, through the hospital, and directly into the breast center. He spoke to whomever needed to be spoken to and made sure I got the immediate attention I needed! Which I did. I had the biopsy 3 days later, an appointment with the oncologist two weeks after that, with my first chemotherapy the same week. Had it not been for Dr Kapp’s intervention, his compassion and the way he cares for each and every one of his patients, my treatment would have been delayed weeks, if not months.
Dr Daniel Kapp is an exceptional surgeon and truly, an even better human being.
