Dr. Joe Capista is Selected as Small Business
Person of the Year
Since 1981, Delaware County Chamber of Commerce has recognized significant
contributions to the local community through its Small Business Award Program. In
2008, Dr. Capista was honored to be one of four businesses recognized by
the Chamber at a gala event held in April, 2008.
Some 250 people gathered at the Drexelbrook Corporate Events Center in the Drexel Hill section of Upper Darby to celebrate with the award recipients, the culmination of Delaware County's Small Business Week. Among the special guest was Mayor Michael Nutter who praised the Delco Chamber for their outstanding efforts in supporting local businesses in the region.
Dr. Capista was selected for this honor not only because of the success of Williamsburg Dental, a practice that he has led for over 25 years, but also for his tireless efforts in giving back to the community. Not only is Dr. Capista a member of many professional organizations, but he also contributes countless hours of pro-bono training seminars on the topic of success in life and business for non-profit organizations such as Rotary Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, universities, high schools, youth groups and other local dental practices. Dr. Capista is also very active with his church and is a mentor to the vice president of the Papal Foundation.
In his recently published book, “What Can a Dentist Teach You about Business, Life and Success?,” Dr. Capista chronicles his own journey in achieving a life filled with purpose, contribution, spirit and balance. His dedication to his family and business, combined with his passion for harnessing the immense power of the mind and spirit – a passion that he selflessly shares with others – has certainly earned him this well deserved honor.
Sixers' Dance Team Select Dr. Capista
for Fourth Year Running
Dr. Capista Named The Cosmetic Dentist
of the 2007-08 Sixers Dancers
The smiles of the Sixers’ Dance Team show it all: confidence, beauty,
a winning attitude and unflappable optimism. And now, Dr. Capista of Williamsburg
Dental, has the job of keeping those smiles bright and beaming.
For the fourth consecutive year, Dr. Capista has been selected as the cosmetic dentist of the Philadelphia Sixers Dancers. In this capacity, Dr. Capista will be providing whitening and other cosmetic procedures to members of the sixteen-girl dance team. In addition, Dr. Capista has had the pleasure of being a special judge for the dancers’ auditions which are held each summer before the start of the season.
It’s an assignment that had Dr. Capista smiling himself. “These girls are just beautiful, inside and out,” he commented. “In most cases, we will be doing whitening to brighten up their smiles. In a few cases, though, the girls may need more extensive work. We’ll be developing a personalized treatment plan for each girl based on their needs.”Several of the Dancers will be featured in marketing campaigns for Dr. Capista and will make special appearances at Williamsburg Dental events, such as educational seminars and open houses.
Dr. Capista thinks it’s a win-win relationship. “I’m looking forward to turning on a Sixers’ game and seeing these girls smiling for the fans. They will literally be walking advertisements for the latest technologies in cosmetic dentistry. People will really be able to see the tremendous impact that a bright beautiful smile can have on a person’s appearance.”
