A Newbury Park resident since 1982, she earned her degree in biology and psychology from California Lutheran University.

She has extensive experience with both rare and common pediatric conditions. Dr. Caputo is an active member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America. She lives in Newbury Park with her husband and six children.
We have been seeing Dr. Caputo for almost two years. Dr. Caputo is competent, caring, kind, and has the skill to give children the confidence to do what it takes to heal. She fits the description of a healer.
We saw Dr. Caputo as a recommendation from our pediatrician after our 6 month old was diagnosed with DDH. Was the wait long? Yes it was. But after Dr. Caputo entered our room and started to talk to us, we underwood why and it was 100% worth any and all minutes it took. She took her time explaining what was happening, what the prognosis was and most of all, understood how I was feeling as a mother and using words and terminology that was relatable and easy to digest. I could not recommend Dr. Caputo more and I fully expect to wait again in the future and will do so willingly, because she’s treating each parent and patient with the utmost care and consideration without making you feel rushed or misunderstood which is absolutely priceless.
Dr. Caputo has been treating my family for several years. She is caring and thorough. I have a lot of confidence in her and I have recommended her to friends.
Dr. Caputo talked directly to my 5 year old son and said she wanted his responses first. He is usually pretty shy with doctors but you could tell he felt comfortable answering her simple, straightforward questions and grew in confidence as they talked. Then she talked to me about his situation and where it stood and what the options were and what she recommended. Even though I could tell the office was busy, she took her time with us and didn’t make me feel rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Caputo.
We had such a positive experience here yesterday with my daughter. From the moment we arrived, they were able to get us in quickly, which was such a relief. Dr. Caputo was incredibly patient and kind — she really took her time explaining my daughter’s injury and what the recovery process would look like in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and she made sure all of our questions were answered. It gave me so much peace of mind as a parent. Highly recommend!
Dr. Caputo is seriously the nicest and most competent doctor I have ever seen. She has treated all 3 of my kids and I wouldn’t take them to anyone else.
Dr. Caputo is an amazing orthopedic doctor who cuts to the chase. She’s friendly, yet direct and speaks with the child to encourage their participation in their healthcare. She empowers the child to feel that their voice matters and is being heard. Dr. Caputo is able to diagnose and offer reasonable and effective treatment solutions that take into consideration the real life implications of living with and managing a diagnosis and treatment options. Being a mother and actively involved in her own children’s sports, she truly relates to her patients and their parents so we know she’s not just a doctor, but a partner in her patients’ care because she’s experienced many issues firsthand. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Caputo!
Dr. Caputo helped both of my kids with three different issues. She’s very thorough, intuitive and nice. Nurses are great, as well as receptionists. I know a lot of people that see her and love her like we do.
