I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr Appel and his staff. All are so kind, patient, professional and helpful- Including Dr Appel and his PA. Happy with results also. Had phone conversation with his partner, Dr Wormer, because he was on call and he was just as kind. Great experience.

If I could give more than 5 stars i absolutely would! I have had nothing but amazing experiences each and every time. Both dr Appel and his office ladies are so kind and helpful. I’ve had 2 surgeries so far with Dr Appel and the last one was at his new office surgery suites and I must say it was wonderful, of course no one loves surgery but his office was so peaceful and clean and just calming everyone was so patient and kind and no one rushed and the nurse in the operating room was so sweet and kind as well as the ladies who were in the recovery room with me. This was the most amazing experience and nothing at all like having a surgery in a hospital. Also no matter what time both Dr Appel and his staff are always there to help or answer any questions or concerns and Dr Appel even made time to call and check on me that night after surgery a few times just to make sure I was okay. He also takes his time with his patients and really listens to them, I struggle with horrible body dysmorphia and he always makes me feel heard and does everything in his power to help his patients and he is honest as well. His work is amazing and I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin. I can say Dr Appel and his office ladies are stuck with me I’m a patient for life and I can’t say enough amazing things about them! ❤️
