Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Attentive, knowledgeable, and caring
Love Dr. A Apgar. He is super smart and listens to my questions/concerns and bounces back his thoughts/opinions based on our conversation. He has a great sense of humor and leaves me feeling a sense of relief that I am receiving the best care. I almost want to keep having babies, so I can see him more often.

Supportive & a great sense of humor
Was able to make huge headway resolving an issue with a tele health visit. So appreciate that additional option to deal with a pressing issue. I’ll still need to go in for a follow up but step #1 was handled in 1 day rather than having to wait 4+ days for an in person opening.

Dr. Apgar is amazing! He is extremely caring and will find a way to put your mind at ease if you have any concerns. I have been a patient of his for years and despite living in a different state, I still continue to use Dr. Apgar. I have recommend him to numerous friends who are unsatisfied with their current doctors or haven't had the best experiences. Every single one of them is still a current patient of his and has no plans on finding a new doctor. Highly recommend Dr. Apgar!

Dr. Apgar delivered my son in 2001 in the little town of Maysville, KY. He was great during my delivery; no tearing, etc. I remember him telling me that his great (?) aunt was the doctor who invented the Apgar Scale. I would definitely recommend him!
