I've heard a lot of horror stories about other doctors, how they run their practices like a factory. That's not Dr. Appel. He takes the time to listen to me and respects my opinions. He tells me what treatments he recommends and we discuss them. I don't think I've ever had to wait more than a few minutes. Whenever I have concerns, he always listens.

For thirty five years, Dr. Arthur Appel has been our primary care physician. When my husband and I visit his office we are welcomed in a most cordial and professional manner. We are assisted by his staff and seen promptly by the Dr. Making future appointments is not a problem because of flexible morning to evening scheduling. When in need of an specialist Dr. Appel has referred us to excellent care. We are extremely satisfied with his services and we highly recommend him.
