Dr Apple is fabulous. I have never had a doctor who has been as thorough as she is- she really takes the time to review everything, discuss options. Very open to discussion and easy to talk with! Without question, the best doctor I've ever had.

Dr. Apple is incredibly attentive and goes above and beyond to make sure she is up to speed on everything that is in the patient's chart already. She listens to me and hears me as a patient, acknowledges and respect my concerns or questions about further testing/course of treatment, and takes the time to discuss the reasons for her recommendations and lets me feel like a full participant in making decisions about my care rather than a standby observer.
