Dr. Apple's Reviews

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.

Really knowledgeable, efficient, professional, and personal. Dr Apple and staff know what you need and works with you to reach a great outcome. He helps you manage your health by not being too quick to jump into surgery but tries other forms of relief before anything extreme. Im so happy Dr Apple is part of my healthcare team. I feel very fortunate because of him and I am ever grateful.

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.

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!

Dr Apple is very good at listening and waiting until you are comfortable having surgery. Not pushy at all. He is conscientious, kind and thorough. He makes sure your pain is managed. He pays attention to details. And his assistant is quick to respond when you call in with questions. I have lots of medical issues that complicate surgery. He addressed each one.

Marianne C.

Dr. Apple asked great questions to be able to assess the pain that I have been dealing with for nearly 12 weeks. I chose him from the numerous reviews, if not every review that stated that “he listens” “he heard me” and I can concur with each of those reviews! He asked great questions and listened and he said according to what I was saying and assessing from manipulating my knee and foot, he could then say what he believed was the possible issue. There is need for further MRI imaging to be able to confirm what the actual issue is, and I do believe I was heard and what is being explored as a possibility may lead to the answer or at minimum head us in the correct direction. I sought after a new orthopedic after finding no answers with a previous doctor. I believe Dr. Apple will be about the search to discover what the true cause of this pain on the left side of my left knee is actually stemming from and be able to resolve the issue.

After injection and PT we decided to scope my knee as there was little improvement. Happy it was done as it was a bucket handle tear that twisted and a portion of the meniscus needed to be removed. Feeling amazing now. Feel very fortunate to have Dr. Apple of my doc and surgeon!

I've only had an initial appointment so far, but Dr. Apple has a very kind and re-assuring demeanor. He was also non-judgemental when I admitted to unwisely doing something that might've exacerbated my injury, which I really appreciated. It feels like I'm in good hands!

Update: Had my follow up appt and left just as impressed! Dr. Apple clearly explained my scans and next steps, and I was really impressed that he remembered my goals for getting back to activities. While I'm very grateful that I do not need surgery, I'm also happy to have found a trusted provider if I ever need ortho services again!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Apple for over a year. He identified the severe pain I was having with my knee as a torn meniscus. He did what he needed to do to get me back feeling 1000 times better and I’m SO grateful.

I've had a number of encounters with Dr. Apple. He was able to do difficult surgery on my knee following a break of my patella. And that was on a knee replacement. His care and concern have been extremely helpful in my healing. He's also helping me deal with my right leg as well. My husband is in need of a hip replacement and is sick with cancer. He is working with him to make sure that when the surgery takes place it is in my husband's best interest. I can't say enough good about him as a doctor.

I've now had surgery on my other leg as well. Both have been difficult situations. Dr Apple is extremely good, conscientious and gives great care. Again. I can't say enough about him as a doctor and surgeon.

Dr Andrew Apple and his team performed amazingly so with my full hip replacement.
My healing and recovery were aided by his visits the next two mornings in the hospital after the surgery. You are in good hands with Dr Apple and OCC and his surgery team.
So much so that I will be getting full knee replacement surgery from Dr Apple in the next few months ahead, knowing firsthand his skill and professionalism in necessary surgery.

Thank you again, Dr Apple.

Dr. Apple was great. He took the time to connect with my 9 year daughter that accompanied me at the appointment. Dr. Apple evaluated x-rays, diagnosed my knee issue, presented treatment recommendations and options, and began treatment. This was all completed in less than 30 minutes.
