Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

High Risk
Dr Apel showed me great empathy and support during the most rough times during my pregnancy. She was very attentive and knowledgeable as well. She genuinely listened to what I had to say and my concerns regarding my overall health. Dr Apel is the type doctor that goes above and beyond for her patients, for example during my hospital stay she made sure my room was clean when housekeeping did not do a good job. When I express concerns over my treatment plan she listened and made adjustments that I felt more comfortable with. Highly recommend her as an OB. My family and I a so greatful to have her apart of two pregnancies.

So validating and reassuring
Dr Appel always is clear with options, answers questions, and includes me in the decision making process. I am 62 and this is the first gynecologist that listens to me and gives me options. I only wish I had found her sooner.

Not thorough enough
Dr. Apel is probably better for women having babies than those of us merely needing gyn or menopause care. Her breast exams are almost non existent. Other practitioners have had me hold my arm above my head, felt for lumps, etc and she poked for a second. The internal exam was so quick, also. She's very nice, just question the interest in older women's issues.

Personal Attention
Dr. Apel is amazing! It's as if she personalizes care just for me. She knows what's happening and what I should expect with my health. I'm so grateful to have her as my doctor.

What a nice surprise!
I had the most pleasent visit with this office. It is very easy to make appointments and check in is fast and efficient. You just scan your ID and insurance card. This is a new office and everything looks nice. Exam rooms are very clean, nicely designed and have a pleasent vibe. I had a an appointment with NP working with Dr Apel about an issue that my primary care physician treated before in unsuccessfully. The gyn exams are usually very uncomfortable and I do not look forward to them. This was not the case with Dr Bailey. She is very experienced and skilled. She explained everything came up with the treatment plan and I had my medication the same day.Best Gyn experience so far.

I've been seeing Dr. Apel for almost 10 years for annual exams. I've also received surgery from her in a hospital. Out of all of the health providers I see in my life, she's my favorite - I actually look forward to going to the gynecologist, which not many people can say. She's chill and funny, and makes what is typically seen as a stressful experience much more tolerable.

I have gone to Dr. Apel for a few years now. I have moved around a lot and had quite a few gynecologists due to some extensive health issues but she is hands-down the best doctor I've ever had. She genuinely listens to my concerns and always makes me feel calm about any issues.

This was my first visit with Dr Apel. She was kind, gentle, and had a delightful bedside manner. She talked with me and calmed down my nervousness and efficiently completed the exam with no discomfort all all for me. I never felt rushed at all. I was thoroughly impressed and would gladly recommend her to friends and family.
