Angeline Capetanakis

Angie runs all things non-medical in the office. You will see her at the front desk and most likely get her on the phone if you call on a non-clinic day.

Angie was also born and raised in San Diego, but somehow – despite going to the same Greek church – didn’t meet Dr. Cap until well through graduate school. Angie attended Cornell University where she studied Hospitality Management, held active leadership positions in her sorority – Kapa Alpha Theta, and was on the women’s soccer team until injury forced her into early retirement. After graduating, Angie returned home to study law at the University of San Diego. She led the negotiations team and was president of the Law School. She and Dr. Cap married in 2007.

Angie worked as a civil litigator for a few years before motherhood shifted her focus. Pregnancy, labor + delivery, and becoming a mom changed her. It was such a powerful journey that Angie knew she wanted to be a part of helping to ensure that other women also felt empowered and elated when remembering their journey into motherhood.

When the opportunity presented itself to start Cap Women’s Health, Angie was all-in. She quit working at the law firm and dove into starting this practice with Dr. Cap. She was newly pregnant with their second child at the time.
