Dr. Jonathan Cappel grew up in Monroe, a small town in southern Wisconsin. He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison and obtained a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering,  and then earned his M.D. at Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  He subsequently completed Dermatology residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.  During his dermatology residency, he was awarded the Mayo International Health Program Scholarship and spent one month learning in the Department of Dermatology in São Paulo, Brazil. Subsequently, he has since participated in many medical mission trips in Central and South American countries.

Jonathan completed a Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology fellowship with Surgical Dermatology Group and Dr. Christoper Harmon. Afterwards, he joined Chris in this practice where they have been physician partners for the last several years.

In his free time, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his family and his dog Abbie, traveling, and being physically active.  He enjoys many athletic activities including hiking, biking, tennis, skiing, amongst others.  He has and will continue to be active and present at both national and international Dermatology congresses.  He enjoys many activities outside of dermatology, including world travels and experiencing other diverse cultures. As a result, he has developed an interest in other languages and continues to learn and study Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.
