Dr Appelle is simply the best! Well informed, knowledgeable, intelligent but never condescending, and she always makes me feel confident about my health and well being, and how she addresses that with me!

Dr. Appelle is truly outstanding. I saw her in the Acute Care Clinic and wish she could be my PCP.

What a fantastic doctor. She is really sharp, listens extremely well, is thoughtful and friendly, has terrific bedside manner, and is very knowledgeable (well beyond her 4-5 years of experience). What's really nice is she never seems rushed either. The most important thing is she's willing to dig deep and work hard to find a diagnosis where several other doctors have given up after just a try or two.

My first few experiences with her were excellent, but some appointments weren't as stellar. I don't know if she was in a bad mood sometimes or irritated with me for some reason, but it wasn't communicated. Overall, she seems very knowledgable and smart, but it would serve her well to have some more experience and professionalism.

My experience with Dr. Appelle is always thorough, courtesy and very professional. She is a physician who wants to heal you, and help educate you about your about concerns. Her office staff is always pleasant and prompt to attend to you. Your time with Dr. Appelle will not be wasted. Her total attention is about you, and what concerns you. Believe me she a excellent internist.
