Dr. Apple always takes the time to go over all of my health concerns, explains available options, and makes me feel in charge of decisions about my health. She truly brings care into healthcare and is an outstanding provider. I would have walked away from Vanderbilt for my primary care a long time ago if it was not for Dr. Apple personally who I love having as my primary care provider.
