David A. Appel, MD

I had an abnormal stress test the end of April with a referral to Providence Cardiology. It took 7 weeks to get in to see Dr. Appel. It was a long 7 weeks of worry. I wish this time frame was shorter and less stressful. On a positive note: Dr. Appel is by far has the best communication skills of any Provider I have had an appointment with. He explained things well, listened to my questions and concerns, offered further testing alternatives. It was a pleasant, educational experience. The best ever! I just wish I could have gotten in sooner to see him but understand the number of patients needing to be seen.

Excellent

With Dr. Appel's extraordinary patient load, I have received several calls from him as he noticed in reports that I was exercising poor judgment, for example, in medication use to urge me towards a better decision. In each instance I was amazed that I had not been left on a back burner. In my face-to-face time with him, I have not felt like another patient but have actually felt loved. How do you do that with thousands of patients? He is beyond excellent. He is extraordinary!

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.

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 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.

He is always kind and caring and eager to help. He listens and asks questions that are easy to understand and answer. I wouldn't want anyone else!

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.
