Dr Aponte is very caring and friendly. She tries to see you when you are in need. she is very smart and she can get your problems fast and she is very right to the point . I have been her patient for 12 years and I can tell the do not come any better after have had at least 6 in my lifetime. You are in good hands but sometimes she need to take time whit a patient so you have to wait but next time it can be you so you understand why she is not on time sometimes.

I love Dr. Aponte. She is very direct, thorough, dedicated and friendly. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly. I am so happy I chose her. I had been struggling with some health issues for several years. Within 6 months, she had a diagnosis. I chose her as an RA Physician. I do not have RA, but I would like to switch from RA to Family Physician. Thank you Dr. Aponte and staff !

I had very painful arthritis and bursitis for over a year. This resulted in any number of physical limitations. Dr. Aponte gave me a medication that relieved 90% of my symptoms within a few days. Very personal and professional, and I am honored she is now my doctor for these maladies.

It says that she is board certified....do your research folks. She is not board certified in anything! She is not a rheumatologist, because she is not board certified in internal medicine. Beware! Go to certificationmatters.org before you settle on any doctor. Aponte is just a PCP.

She seems rushed at times due to, in my opinion, heavy patient caseload. Excellent Nurse Practitioners are great back-up. Office staff friendly and helpful but seem overwhelmed at times.
