He’s up front and to the point, with me and advised a plan on how to handle my situation with my left knee. Helped to explain to my wife what options are available for me to choose from.

Evaluation and Scheduling: Dr Apple provided an in depth explanation of what my issue is and what my options were. He set my expectations and was able accommodate my needs and recovery time with my works needs. He and his staff were able to work me into a super short schedule (2 weeks) by performing a lot of coordination when I was unable to. Excellent support and communication. Pre-Operation: Dr Apple covered everything to happen on the day of surgery, from checking in, prep, surgery, postoperative actions, what interaction there would be with anyone who also attended. He again covered the expectations for getting discharged as well as physical therapy. They ensured I was prepared and had absolutely no questions. He and his staff continued to provide outstanding support, information and communications.
