Providence Patient
Dr Appel was the nicest & most informed Dr I can think of. He was very patient with me as I had a lot of questions, including one more after my visit which I called his office to inquire about. His team members were very courteous and helpful in answering my questions & they reached out to the Dr to check his opinion for my question. I feel very well cared for. I have not had my test which the Dr ordered yet so I do not have an answer for how promptly they got back to me on the results.

Providence Patient
Appointments usually booked well in advance of visit. Usually receive responses and communicate thru MyChart within one to two days. The responses are sometimes vague but was always able to get clarifications quickly. Most MyChart responses are from Dr. Appels staff but I did get a direct call from Dr. Appel clarifying a concern. I greatly appreciated that.
Providence Patient
My doctors have very good they take the time to explain my condition
Providence Patient
Dr Appel's warmth, caring and thoroughness cannot be adequately described. It is hard to believe that his many years of service have not left him in the slightest depleted or calloused. He is an incredible blessing to this office and the patients he sees. I have loved providers from other disciplines but he has soared above them all in excellence and fundamental character. I can't imagine anything he could do to improve what he provides. Shall I go on?
