I met Dr. Capuano after years of chronic pain in my sacrum. I can never thank him enough for his help and expertise: he immediately understood my problem was mechanical and after trying various treatments, he performed arthrodesis surgery on my sacral joint. Since then, I no longer have had the excruciating pain that prevented me from living tranquilly. The Doctor is extremely competent, confident, and has a good dose of self-irony. I am now doing follow-up physiotherapy at his office, where his staff is helpful, kind and competent. Thank you so much.
I am very grateful to you for your expertise, patience and kindness. Best wishes in continuing your precious mission helping people in pain.
They say that sometimes action speaks louder than words, but here we can only express ourselves with words, even if I’m not very good at it.
I had been unable to walk for years due to an L3-L4 anterolisthesis that was complicated by spinal and foraminal stenosis. I had consulted other (pseudo) specialists who made the wrong diagnosis, along with the consequent waste of time and money, as well as suffering.
I live in Milan, a city where you can find the largest well-known medical centers in Italy, but I wanted to search for myself. So, one day while I was searching on the internet, the algorithm showed me some videos of a ‘mad scientist’ type, however, I took the time to listen to him patiently. I liked what he was saying and how he said it, so I didn’t hesitate, I had already made up my mind… this is who I planned to go to see. I set up an appointment and at my first visit I immediately received the correct diagnosis. From the very beginning, Christian was friendly, attentive and ready to listen to the difficulties of his patients, and ultimately, he proposed a surgical solution to me.
There was a short waiting list, but finally the day of the surgery arrived – 16 September at the Villa Berica Clinic in Vicenza. I live alone and I faced all this alone, but I knew it would be worth it, that I would have a new chance at life at the age of 60. The clinic staff, though quite young, was capable and. I was never afraid of the surgery, I just had to look at Dr. Capuano’s face to understand that he was ready and had already gone over everything in his head, a bit like The Good Doctor, for those of you who know the program.
The day after the surgery, he came into my room early in the morning, helped me put on my shoes and assisted me with walking: It was then that I understood that all my years of suffering had vanished into thin air. Wednesday morning, I was discharged. On Thursday I went out for a first walk alone, and my feet no longer dragged along. I walked slowly but easily, and at a certain point, I’m not ashamed to say, I burst into tears of joy and liberation. I hope that these words of mine, in addition to eternally thanking Christian, serve to motivate others living with similar problems. Do not be afraid, I wasn’t. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Good morning, I had sacroiliac arthrodesis surgery on 29 July 2024, performed by Doc Christian Capuano. The operation went very well and the next day I was out of bed walking in the corridors with my fellow companions in this adventure. I want to thank Christian immensely – I no longer have the pain that for two years had become chronic; it was as if I had a knife stuck in the lumbar area, in addition to suffering from pain in my gluteus and hip joint.
In short, painkillers and anti-inflammatories were useless because my problem was mechanical, as Christian explained to me. Despite my suffering, I have always gone to work… with difficulty… and had finally found the solution, surgery. God bless him!!
Christian is precise and meticulous, but above all he is empathetic with his patients. I have never met such a special doctor. So, in addition to thanking Christian who has given me the opportunity to improve my quality of life, I would like to thank his staff at the Bra Clinic, where I was operated on, the staff in my ward, and the two angels who work in the Como studio, Sabrina and Martina, who take care of the entire process regarding your surgery and other appointments. I can never thank you enough Christian. Love, Cinzia
I was operated on by Dr. Capuano on 8 July 2024 at Villa Berica in Vicenza. I had severe V° disc disease, complicated by L4-L5 tight foraminal stenosis resulting from a previous surgical discectomy, and IV° L5-S1 disc disease complicated by retrolisthesis. The surgery was a success!
As promised, the day after the surgery the doctor had me get up and walk along the corridor, and I walked without problems.
Some more words about this doctor:
Christian is a very scrupulous man, meticulous in his work and very professional and competent. He is a man who doesn’t like to waste time – he’s very frank – and that’s one of my favorite things about him. But he has qualities that I have found in very few doctors: humility and humanity; I hope he never loses these traits!
He accompanied me to the operating room, conveying tranquility and security to me unlike anyone other professional, and after the operation, and the following day, he stopped by the room many times to make sure that everything was going well.
I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend him to people like me who have back problems; listen to his opinion and he will surely find a solution to help you feel better.
I would also like to thank his office and clinic staff. They are very well organized and extremely kind.
I really want to thank Dr. Capuano.
It has been a week since I had surgery for severe L5-S1 disc disease with foraminal stenosis and the pain I have been living with seems to have disappeared – as if by magic. At 7:15 on the morning after the operation the doctor came to my room and had me get up (he even tied one of my shoes – which very few doctors would do), and immediately had me walking up and down the stairs… what can I say, he’s the best. If you are looking for a neurosurgeon, he is the best that can be found. THANK YOU Christian!
I was operated on April 23rd for L4-L5 disc disease with an expelled hernia, with complications from an operation previously performed by another doctor. Dr. Capuano has given my life back to me. Before the surgery, all I could do was suffer and take medicines; I no longer wanted to face my days. I spent a lot of time wondering WHY ME?. I no longer had a life.
Then I met Dr. Capuano. I don’t know the technical terms to explain what I feel now, but I can say that the desire to get up in the morning again, take the stairs and go for walks has returned. My back pain is practically gone. My leg is still a little sore, but as the Doctor explained to me, it will take some time to restore a nerve that has been compressed for many years.
I will say that Dr. Capuano is an excellent neurosurgeon, and if I could go back in time, I wish I had met him much earlier. I felt I could trust him and I’m really pleased that I did. These few lines are not nearly enough to thank Dr. Capuano and his staff.
I would like to share my experience here to recognize the professionalism of Dr. Christian Capuano. So, I am 35 years old and have been suffering from low back pain for some years. It has worsened over time – increasingly severe pain, poor mobility, shooting pains in the lower limb when walking, etc.
Then, two years ago, forced by my severe pain, I went to the hospital and had an MRI; I was told I had mild disc disease, but with exercise and massage the problem would be resolved. Although I did this for some time, the pain and other symptoms continued.
Finally, convinced by my mother’s experience with Dr. Capuano a year earlier, I entered his medical office knowing I was in excellent hands. I left the office that day with a clear diagnosis of severe and complicated L3-L4 disc disease. Dr. Capuano immediately put me on the waiting list for an operation and prepared me for surgery with injections and physiotherapy. Then, one day he called me from the office and told me that the time had come.
I was operated on 6/5/2024 in Vicenza at the Villa Berica Clinic, a facility that I found very welcoming and had well-trained staff, not to mention Dr. Christian and his surgical team. The following day Christian helped me to my feet and had me walk. Three days later I finally realized that my problem had finally been solved; I had no pain, no discomfort, and above all, I can sleep now, something I hadn’t been able to do for a long time. I believe that no other words are needed to praise the doctor – and all the people who assist him in organizing every detail to make us feel our best.
I am a 58-year-old woman and for many years have suffered from degenerative thoraco-lumbar scoliosis with severe pain and have been unable to do many daily activities. Over the last 10 years I have been seen by several doctors with different specializations and have taken all kinds of pain medicines. It all was useless.
One day, by chance, I heard about Dr. Christian Capuano and immediately made an appointment to see him. He saved my life the day of my first visit.
At the end of April, I had surgery, specifically, level T12-L5 arthrodesis, at the Villa Berica Clinic in Vicenza. I was frightened and worried before the surgery, but Dr. Capuano, with his affection, confidence, empathy, and a reassuring caress before the anesthesia, calmed me down and I felt sure I was in the hands of a very competent neurosurgeon and a fantastic team of surgeons. The same day, he called my husband to tell him everything had gone well, and he too was amazed by the kindness, professionalism, and benevolence of Dr. Capuano. The day after the surgery, the doctor himself had me get out of bed and walk down the corridor. Moreover, he was always nearby and available by telephone if needed.
I want to leave this testimony to thank him from the bottom of my heart. My life will be better now, and I owe everything to him. I will never forget what he did for me. Thanks too to your office assistants, who were always kind and helpful.
The world needs more doctors like Dr. Capuano because, as he says, his is not just any job, it’s so much more!
With love, Cristina B.
Dr. Capuano operated on my father, an 83-year-old, ‘forever young’ man, with a serious and delicate lumbar stenosis. Thanks to his competence, dedication, great compassion, and humility, he has given my dad a new life.
I will always remember Dr. Capuano’s words when he said: ‘I will operate on you as if you were my own father!’. These words gave us confidence and serenity, but above all, they eliminated the barrier that is usually created between a doctor and their patient; he became a great friend.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Capuano! Thanks also to Sabrina, Martina, and clinic’s the surgical team for their help and empathy.

Good morning. I am a 57-year-old woman who was operated on 12 March for severe C5-C6 spondyl-unco-arthrosis that was complicated by a reduced spinal canal and foraminal stenosis with a medullary imprint.
I want to sincerely thank Dr. Capuano, who I was lucky enough to finally meet after years of useless therapies and doctor’s visits. The surgery (which no one else had the courage to do) saved me from possible future paralysis. My greatest esteem goes to him and to his secretary Sabrina, who was always kind and available.
You have given me back hope for a normal life. Thank you with all my heart.

What can I say… finding a better doctor than Dr. Capuano would be practically impossible!
Excellent technique, absolute competence, dedication to his mission and great compassion, all merged into the same person.
It is not easy to find a doctor with his skills who knows how to accompany you on such a delicate and risky journey, all the while instilling peace of mind and security in you.
A big thank you to him and to his very kind assistants in the medical office in Como.
