Dr. Kappler an exceptionally gifted care provider. I felt immediately at ease and able to fully explain my medical concerns during my first meeting with him. This follow up meeting was no different. His kindness and concern is genuine. He makes the patient feel like they are the most important person he will be talking to all day. His medical skill is also exceptional. He zeroed in on my issue, ran a large batter of tests to make sure....and was spot on in curing my problem with a simple remedy. The man is amazing and should be a model for attracting other physicians to the Cleveland Clinic.
