We love Lisa. She has seen both of my sons for various issues/injuries. She has a great bedside manner and always puts us at ease. She takes the time for a thorough exam and answers all my questions (I have a lot). Most importanShow moretly… we trust her expertise and know that she will put us on the path to a full recovery.

Upon dedicating himself to treating children, he underwent specialized training in Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery. He completed his fellowship training in Pediatric Orthopedics at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego.

Dr. Capelo co-founded Pediatric Sports and Spine Associates in 2006. He has lived in the DFW Metroplex for over 20 years. He and his wife, Renee, have 2 daughters and a son.

We absolutely love Pediatric sports and spine Associates, and would recommend them to anyone needing orthopedic care. Dr. Capelo is great. He’s funny, my son loves his personality, and he goes out of his way to make sure the parent and the child understand what has happened and the best option in route for treatment. He and his team take such precise, and specific care every time we are in. With my child breaking 9 bones in 2 1/2 years, we have interacted with everyone on the team at some point. The front desk ladies work hard to make sure the check-in process, and scheduling is easy on the parents and schedules. The office manager is incredible, and Renee will do anything she can to help you if you need her. All of the wonderful nurses, x-ray techs, and Medical assistants have a great personalities, and my son loves to chat with them about “what he did this time” every time we are in. I’d go as far as saying, knowing a trip to see his second family, at his second home, sort of cushions the blow every time he gets hurt. ;)

We struggled to find a place to see our son, not many spine specialists who see under 18 near us, so when I got a call back from them- I had no hope for an appointment so soon. They were able to squeeze him in, just a few days later, right before Christmas! Even though my husband left the CD with the images in the other car, based on the report only - they gave us a plan to start immediately, explaining everything to our 16yr old so he could understand the importance of following the instructions so he would heal. I am so thankful for the kindness and understanding of everyone we spoke with, on the phone and in person. I was a very worried parent and they really went above and beyond to ensure that we got the answers we needed and the care that our son deserves.

Delaney P. • July 24, 2025

Was able to be fit in on a late Friday afternoon after my daughter was diagnosed with a fracture at our local urgent care earlier that day. Every staff member we encountered was so kind, patient, and helpful. Everyone made my daughter feel seen and heard and helped make her comfortable in what was a very uncomfortable situation.

Anouk L. • June 17, 2025

We had a wonderful experience with this office. Dr. Darr was amazing. She was patient, yet knew how much to push with my 4 year old, who had broken a bone in her hand. She's cautious, which as a mom of a young child, I very much appreciated.

Zoe H. • June 10, 2025

My son saw Lisa when after hurting his ankle at sports practice. She and the whole team were thorough and knowledgeable, patient, attentive, and compassionate with. They answered all our questions clearly and never did we feel rushed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa or the practice.
