David A. Appel, MD

Dr. David Appel, MD, has provided exceptional clinical care during my SHMC inpatient experience and subsequent outpatient visits. He has delivered the highest level of cardiac expertise and certainly reflects the values and mission of Providence SHMC. Our entire experience with SHMC personnel and services was exemplary, from the ED receptionist, ED MD(s), hospitalist(s), nurses on the 6th floor, cardiac technicians, dietitians to car park attendants. Also, having access to Epic MyChart was reassuring as we were able to track lab, imaging, pharmacy and other clinical results during my visit in a timely manner.

Dr. Appel and his staff are always Caring and skilled.

They take time to Explain what you need to understand to explain what is going on with my health

Very patient while answering questions.

Dr Appel was very forthright on my condition. Scared me but he prayed for me and I felt better. Told it like it is!

Dr Appel is awesome. We have a practical, personal conversation that is a two way exchange

Difficult to get appointments to be seen soon. This seems to be a issue every where. Please open calendars six months in the future instead of 3 months in the future. Dr. Appeal is the most caring professional doctor I have ever met. He should be training others in patient care. He always makes you feel like you are the most important patient he has. You never feel rushed.

Dr. Appell was very professional, kind, understanding, and thorough. This was the first time seeing him and was unsure if he was the best cardiologist I could want and one with a caring bedside manner. By the time I walked out of the office, I knew, without any doubt, he was the best cardiologist I could ask have! Caring and committed.

Great

Dr Appel is an amazing doctor. He is interested in me as a patient and during the time I spent with him he was totally focused on me as a patient and went out of his way to answer all my questions an alleviate any concerns I may have had regarding my forthcoming ablation procedure.

Dr. Appel is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He provides some of the best care I have ever received from a physician. I trust his cardiology expertise and I value the way he supports the health of the whole person. What a privilege to be Receiving his care and expertise as an older person with heart concerns.

Since I'm 87 years old, Dr. Appel was kind enough to speak to my daughter on the phone and explain my situation and what to do about it. I thank him.
