Verified Patient Reviews for Jessica Apel, DO
Dr. Apel was wonderful, actively listening and providing insight on my care and future plans - however scheduling staff seemed to make a mistake that had me waiting for almost 2 hours in the waiting room after telling me to come early.
The absolute best OBGYN practice. Dr. Apel is, hands down, the best provider I’ve ever worked with. Her and Dr. Smith are fantastic and I pass their information on to everyone who talks about obtaining a new provider. Absolutely wonderful.

Dr. Apel was beyond fantastic! She is personable, professional, patient and spends a lot of time with you. She is not rushed at all, listens, guides, answers all your questions and explains everything completely. I felt confident that I finally found the perfect Dr for me. I trust her completely and know I am in good hands! The office was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and smelled fresh and clean. Everyone in the office was pleasant and personable also. They all went out of their way to help you with a smile. I have never seen such efficient team work from everyone there. The practice is the size of a small hospital that is run like a well oiled machine. Thank you!
