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
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?
