Just when I wanted to give up on doctors altogether, I found Dr. Appelbaum. He is a normal and very down to earth doctor. He really cares and actually listens to you along with providing eye contact. Made me feel at ease, and assured me all will be fine.

Genuinely cares and understood my condition, always listens and helped me figure out how to treat it without ever making me feel like there was something wrong with me by explaining my condition in a way I could understand and I'm now treated and thriving!

The person taking appointments for the doctor never gets back to you in a timely manner. It could take days!!

I have left multiple messages to try to get an appointment with Dr. Applebaum with no call back for days. It's like that everytime I call. I feel I am just a file in his cabinet and he is just happy to collect my money. I don't think he could tell you one thing about me if you asked him and I have been seeing him regularly for a year or so.

This doctor could care less about his patients. He has the worst bedside manner and one of the rudest individuals I have ever met.
