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.

My forever surgeon
Dr. Apple did my first surgery in 2021. I had a mastectomy. She was very compassionate as she explained my options and took the time to listen to my fears and concerns. She makes me feel like I’m her only patient and I never felt rushed. The scar across my chest is barely visible. So when I needed laparoscopic gallbladder removal in 2025 there was never a question that Dr. Apple would perform that surgery also. Four days later and the healing is beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend her. She is a kind, genuine person. Everything you look for in a Dr.

Dr. Apple is the best.
Dr. Apple exudes caring and kindness, and takes the time to answer all questions. My surgery was laparoscopic and it has been 8 weeks now with a wonderful complete healing. From my first meeting with this doctor I knew I had found the best surgeon.

Dr. Apple made my life normal again.
I had been struggling with Diverticulitis for nearly four years before meeting Dr. Apple. In July, I was hospitalized due to an abscess on my colon. From the moment she became my surgeon during that initial hospitalization, she dedicated extra time to elucidate and illustrate the intricacies revealed in the CT images, providing a thorough understanding of my condition at the time. She also took the initiative to comprehensively explain the upcoming surgery I would require, exceeding my expectations in her dedication to my health.Ultimately, she performed the surgery that rectified my issues, and I stand as one of her success stories. Thanks to Dr. Apple, my life has returned to normal. Dr. Apple is not only an outstanding surgeon but also a genuinely kind individual. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Apple if you ever find yourself in need of a surgeon.

I would highly recommend Dr. Kimberly Apple
Dr Apple was not only very professional and knowledgeable but also very kind and understanding. She took time to explain my situation and what I should expect from my surgery. She was very thorough in her explanation and in making certain that I and my family all understood what to expect.

Dr. Apple operated on me in February, I am writing in October, so It is testimony that she is an excellent surgeon. I selected her based on her experience and qualifications and later found a friend whom she worked on and he highly recommended her. Her office staff was excellent whenever I visited them. She explained everything and answered all my questions clearly and with empathy. The operating team was also very, very good. I had an abdominal procedure done laparoscopically; tiny incision scars are hardly visible and healing went quickly. I chose to use a minimal number pain pills; it hurt some but it's important to have feedback so you don't undo her work overdoing something during healing. I highly recommend Dr. Apple and her staff.

Absolutely the best! Bedside manner 2nd to none. Very caring. She tells it like it is. NO BS! Helped me and did difficult surgery. Always there when I need her. Kept me calm when I was upset & I'm known to be a very aggressive old man. Thanks to her and all her associates. Vic Friedrich
