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.

Excellent experience
I saw Dr. Eppele for TMS. Not only is she very kind and personable but she is also very thorough. Other TMS providers that interviewed simply rushed me through a questionnaire and were ready to begin treatment. She ordered blood tests to rule out causes of my depression such as thyroid problems. The staff that administers the TMS procedures are absolutely incredible. They are kind, friendly and extremely respectful of my time. In addition, they were never even one minute late and I had 36 appointments. I felt very cared for.

I had a very bad experience with this doctor and the staff. I was told my co-payment is $15 after they checked my benefits. However after the appointment I was charged $150. The staff, Ashely, called me several times before the appointment, never did she mention $150 fee. When I later inquired Claudia Appele accused me of lying and said Ashley has in her notes that she spoke to me about my fees. She also said I should have checked my benefits myself. Be careful with this doctor.

She is an absolute great doctor. However, her staff is horrid. They rarely call back. They will take up to a week and a half to process a prescription refill. They don't like to answer questions you ask them. What she needs to do is fix her staffing issues.
