Dr Chappell is a very caring, understanding Dr He takes his time with you, explains everythiing to you. He goes out of his way to help you. My mother came to visit me , I had an appointment with Dr Chappell. I told her to come with me and ask him what you can do for your high blood pressure. He asked my mother if she liked walnuts. She told him yes, Dr Chappell told her to eat 2 handfuls of walnuts a day, that it would help with her blood pressure. before we left, he took my moms blood pressure. It was very high. We stopped at farmers market and she bought Walnuts. Within an hour her blood pressure was almost normal. I would diffentely recommend him.

Takes time to talk to you about your issue and isn't in a hurry to push you out the door like other places. Friendly staff too.
