Surgeons - Hackensack, NJ

"I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Kaptain. In our household, we affectionately call him “The Captain”—and for good reason. He is not only an exceptionally skilled neurosurgeon but also a genuinely kind, intelligent, and compassionate human being. His precision, expertise, and “light touch” (a critical trait for brain surgery!) are matched by his unwavering commitment to patient care. Dr. Kaptain goes above and beyond, taking the time to thoroughly explain every step of the surgical process with complete transparency. He met with us multiple times before my wife's surgery, patiently answering all our questions and ensuring we felt informed and reassured. His dedication and high standard of excellence are truly inspiring. In fact, his work ethic and character have left such a profound impact on me that I’m already encouraging my 5-year-old to become a neurosurgeon—one with the same integrity, skill, and compassion as Dr. Kaptain.

"I have never regretted trusting a doctor more. To start, he gave me terrible advice pre-surgery that resulted in a hormone imbalance so intense I had cystic acne all over my face for months. I still have some of the scars 2 years later. Second, although he advised me not to worry, that this surgery would not change my face in any drastic way and that any changes I did see would be minimal and positive, the reality is that having surgery with him had significant repercussions. The most serious among them is that part of my nose collapsed, but I've had issues with the entire lower half of my face. The worst part is that when I told him something wasn't right, he tried to convince me that everything was normal. He did try to offer me some minimal help, but nothing so significant as to show he was all that invested in making things alright--he's an agreeable person, but I really felt like underneath that he was more interested in making sure I didn't sue. He tried to send me off to some completely unqualified friend of his to fix my nose, which I turned down. He did refund me part of the cost of having surgery with him, but not all. It all felt very half-hearted. Meanwhile, fixing this is costing me tens of thousands of dollars I really can't afford to spend. Honestly, I should have sued."

"The very Best surgeon in Florida period. I have encountered many surgeons. Including my wife's surgeons at Mayo Clinic, the 3 hospitals in Gainesville and the university hospital in Albuquerque New Mexico. I had a ruptured intestine caused by diverticulitis. I had an abscess on my liver, mesentery area and part of my intestines. I also had about 9 feet of intestine dying. While I was in there. He fixed my heart medication and I tell you what. I feel better than I did all the way back to 2016. He is an awesome knowledgeable surgeon. He has a special gift in surgery. His bedside manner is the very best I have ever delt with. The best surgeon in the world is what I think. I had open heart and a AAA Repair by other surgeons. He is the best in technical and explaining things in words you can understand. It’s all logical. He is the best. He kept me comfortable and he has patience in explaining everything. I can’t say enough. Thank you again Dr Bailey III for saving my life."
