I have been a patent of Dr. Apple for a few years. His care helped my knee pain issues. Starting with injections that eased arthritis pain progressing to torn meniscus repair surgery. Later graduating to a total knee replacement a few months ago. His complete listening to my questions resulted in my complete confidence. My husband has been very pleased with my progress and has since began receiving care from Dr. Apple. We both highly recommend.

I have been seeing an orthopedic surgeon for approximately 7 years. Dr. Apple excels at his profession, has outstanding bedside manners, and I can’t believe how easy his shots are when I get them in my knee. I don’t even feel it! he will be performing TKR on me within the year, and I look forward to it, especially with Dr. Apple at the helm!

He has been professional, personable, understanding and knowledgeable while demonstrating kindness and caring regarding other things that arose as we awaited my surgery date. He is the best!

I am officially two weeks out from hip replacement surgery with Dr Apple. I cannot say enough about Dr Apple and his team. I would highly recommend them. I have a phobia of hospitals and medical facilities and Dr Apple and his team made me as comfortable as possible to get through this highly anxious situation. Dr Apple slows everything down and answers every question you may have, and listens to your concerns. This could have been a horrible experience for someone like me, but it wasn’t. I am very thankful for the research I did prior to deciding to have surgery and for the outcome I have received with Dr Apple.

I thank Dr. Apple for every thing he has done for me, by showing me the X- Rays he had taken and explaining what was really happening with my knee and suggesting first, treatments by steroid injections, and then IF necessary, going further into possible surgery.... At first I was afraid of taking an injection at all because of some of the "horror" stories about steroid injections and thought it would be useless, but Dr. Apple calmed me by expressing what it would or could do for me for the good. He was quite informative about everything I asked about and that was extremely satisfying and helpful to the point I did receive a steroid injection, AND IT didn't even hardly hurt at all. There were times that I have fainted from different injections in the past, but Dr. Apple was very understanding and kind about my fears and worries about my knee and then, gently doing the very quick injection to which I thought was going to be painful and long but he was quick and it was done in seconds without any hurt. IF anyone ever asks me about Dr. Apple, I will never hesitate to recommend him immediately. I only first had him as a new patient, but to me, he's a kind and concerned Orthopedic Doctor. He is very informative about my knee issue, explains thoroughly what is going on, gives options of what could be done, and most of all, he doesn't choose the options that must be done for you. He allows you to think about those options and choose what you, as a patient, wants. That is very important to me. In the past years, sometimes I've not had that opportunity.
So again, I'm glad that Dr. Apple has accepted me as his patient and I thank him very much for what he's done so far and I would not want to go to anyone else for my knee issues or any other othopedic issues. Thank you Dr.Apple.

Dr Apple has been an amazing doctor meeting my various needs. Anticipating one nite in the hospital after my knee replacement surgery, many complications ended up 12 nites, 5 in Rose Medical Center and 7 in Spaulding Rehab Hospital. He was very attentive and addressed my concerns with the complications putting me at ease. With several months into my healing process, .a new complication arose, extreme muscle spasms making me unable to move my leg without deep agony! Dr. Apple’s treatment was fitting me in his schedule asap as if I were his only patient. He went above and beyond the call of duty! He was very impressive and much gratitude of his care.
Thank you very much, Dr. Apple!!

When your looking for smore guidance on health issues that are Sometimes difficult. The professionals at OCC are always informative and compassionate about each situation. I've had knee problems and issues for years and was always encouraged to try other options and ideas to cope with my problems. Only after a couple years we decided on the next step. This is the guidance that everyone hopes they get to develop trust in a Doctors office like I found with Dr. Apple.

I had my hip replaced on Dec. 22 by Dr. Apple. I was given very clear pre-op instructions. I had my pre-op appointment with Dr. Apple and he explained exactly what would happen. He is very, very easy to talk to, and addresses all of your concerns. He also has an amazing medical assistant who arranges everything and not once have I called when she didn’t answer me immediately. I am very pleased with the care I have received from Dr. Apple.

Together, they make a fantastic team and create an environment where patients truly feel cared for and respected.

I’ve been to a few different ortho doctors about a knee replacement and this was the best experience ever! Dr. Apple explained everything thoroughly, way more than any other doctor has. I learned more about having a knee replacement than ever before and I really like that he is going to do a test to see if there’s an infection in my knee. He’s the best!
