"Pre op- Dr. Appel has a very brusque personality. He is no-nonsense and his sense of humor, when it can be detected, it as dry as the Sahara. However, he seems extremely competent to me and everyone I've spoken to about him has very high regards for him. That's what's important to me.
Post op- I'm still glad that Dr. A did my surgery, however due to personality conflicts, I have stopped seeing him. I am now seeing Dr. Steinberg, one of Dr. Appel's associates for post-op care. He is a wonderful man!

"Dr Baird seems like a reasonable, kind man who listens to what you have to say. He didn't give me any flak for the fact that it was my first visit to him and I dove into begging for a WLS surgeon referral right off that bat. Kudos to him!"
