I think Dr Apple is a great doctor with a fantastic personality. He had a way of reducing my nervousness and did a wonderful job at giving me an injection in my knee without harming me. Thank you Dr. Apple.

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 is very personable and reassuring. It was comforting to have a doctor say he was going to do everything he could to prevent surgery instead of signing me up for the latest procedure. I know I have found my new doctor.

Everyone in this office was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. They explained every procedure before completing it and asked if I had any questions. Dr. Apple was amazing. Explained all my test results and discussed my treatment at length. I noticed when I left the check in desk in the reception area had posted a whiteboard listing all the providers and if appointments were running on time. I’ve never seen this at any medical facility and appreciated the information. It shows how important their patients are to them. 10/10! ❤️

1. An x-ray wouldn't show a muniscus tear or deep tissue issues. I have already gone through this with one knee and was told my left would also have to be done Yes, I have neck and back problems and have several appointments set up for numerous orthopedic doctors as when I called they told me I couldn't see just one. Since my knee was the worst at that moment you were my first appointment they had me make. So understand why I was a little disappoint leaving your office.
