I am at a loss as to understand why this woman is in medicine. Perhaps someone with her mentality would have been appropriate in the medical field 60 years ago, but not today, not in 2022. And it is truly unacceptable and deeply troubling for her to be in gynecology.
Dr. Capelle is neither compassionate nor receptive to the needs of her patients. My experience with her was indescribably humiliating and dehumanizing. She talked over me. She cut me off when I tried to speak. She continuously raised her voice and at some points during the appointment she was actually yelling at me. It was obvious she had neither the time nor the patience to deal with me, a patient with a history of assault and PTSD.
When I tried to explain to her that I was uncomfortable with gynecological examinations and procedures because of a previous traumatic medical experience, she said in a raised, exasperated tone, "You need to get over that, that happened years ago!" She knew that I had a history involving sexual assault, but she still felt it was acceptable to tell me to get over a medical trauma involving my genitals.
I am now so traumatized I avoid going to the doctor. I have panic attacks at the thought of gynecological appointments. At every medical appointment now, I and am sick, I shake uncontrollably, my blood pressure and heart rate are elevated into dangerous levels. For me, she has turned medical care, a necessity in life, into an unimaginably terrifying and stressful experience.
I would not recommend Dr. Capelle to anyone, especially anyone with a history of trauma: sexual, medical, or otherwise. It is particularly unnecessary for anyone to go to her when there are so many excellent gynecologists in the Morgantown area.
Please, for your own sake, do not go to her for medical care, and tell everyone you know to avoid her at all costs. read more
