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.

There are no words or rating for DR Apple. He is an impeccable knee surgeon. The process was so easy. After surgery, the care was simply the best 100% overexceded my expectations. He never scared me in my appointments prior to surgery. The instructions and expectations were very clear. The surgery and the OCC Surgery left me breathless with the care that was provided to me. They completely kept me out of pain and anything I needed to keep me out of pain was provided without question. When Dr Apple says he will do all he can to keep you out of pain, he was 100% there for me for my pain needs during recovery. I could go on and on. If you want the best surgeon for knee replacement, look no further. Today is my 30 day anniversay out of surgery and I am 80% ahead of all others having the same surgery. This is because Dr Apple has the best surgeon hands. I finally have my life back!!! There is no way to rate my experience except the best of the best.

Excellent on time response, easy time with information tablets for patient medical review. X ray and assessment easy for patient participation. Visual explanation of details of my issues at ball and socket of right hip joint, made easy to understand. Dr. Apple's diagnosis and available treatment modalities explained completely. Even that l could do nothing and the joint would remain in its current state, most likely for life. I learned why PRP treatments would not bennefit the condition, and that my weight loss, now 24 of 102 necessary pounds ( on Zepbound) substanciates my reduction in discomfort level, l would note from an 8 to 2 change, on scale of 1 to 10. I do utilize a daily pain medication regimen. I will return in 5 to six months for his directed reevaluation, as weight reduction should be at target levels. It will if I'm breathing. This Surgeon is a needed credit to his profession, I'm happy l was directed/referred to him by my PCP.

Dr Apple was very informative and explained everything i need to do before surgery. He also said we can do the shots for a while before doing surgery on my right knee. Dr. Apple did an amazing job on my left knee. V
