Dr. James Appel III, MD

Yesterday I came to see Dr. Appel about post-surgery. He did a wonderful job still. He also has great staff. I appreciate everything he did for me. I highly recommend to anybody that is looking for plastic surgery.??

My experience with Dr. Appel was okay as far as his kindness. However my results are terrible. I feel like I should be on the tv show “Botched”. I had a breast reduction and my nipples are way too high up. My breasts have also dropped. I am not pleased at all. In fact, I’m very insecure now. I do NOT recommend him!

Dr. Appel III is an amazing doctor. I had a prophylactic double mastectomy because I am BRAC1. This means I had the gene mutation for both ovarian and breast cancer. Both he and his office staff have been extremely professional along with compassionate regarding my care . I strongly recommend Dr. Appel III.

Very patient, listens explains procedures. Staff and Dr are very professional. Follows HIPIA laws. Clean. Little to no wait time.

My wife went to this dr appel and he promised a surgery and good results... Then he calls my wife in the other day for the last consultation before the surgery and says he doesn't feel "comfortable" with what he has to do to reconstruct her breast. That she was a tough case and couldn't handle it. 2 Days later we receive phone call from his office saying we owe $1,000 for the 2 minute consultation that could have been done over the phone. A "nip/tuck" doctor only, beware!!!

First of all I would like to say this is a very nice Doctor. He was always kind throughout my experience. I would like to say, however, I am not pleased with the results. I know he can perform various types of procedures and I'm sure he is great at most. I cannot recommend that if you are looking for rhinoplasty this is the doctor for you. I originally only wanted to have my bridge done which turned out fine). The problem occurred with the tip (which he wanted) because it is severely asymmetric.

Dr.Appel did the reconstruction surgery for my double mastectomy when I had breast cancer. He is the nicest, sweetest, kindest physician I have ever dealt with, and I highly recommend him. He is very professional, does excellent work and is very meticulous. His office staff are also extremely nice and helpful. You could not ask for a better experience than I had with him and his staff.

I recently saw Dr. Appel concerning issues I was having with breast reconstruction he performed years prior. He did not listen to my concerns. He tried to push physical therapy (not why I went), larger implants (he told me years prior that I couldn't have larger implants due to my pocket size), and that I would have to go to Chapel Hill if I wanted a FLAP reconstruction because Charlotte doctors weren't doing this type any longer (FALSE!!). I am extremely disappointed in his recommendations.
