    I am a senior citizen that has had at least 30 primary care doctors including 6 at UCSF. Almost all my care at UCSF has been outstanding but in my experience Dr. Appelle is clearly the best of the best!

    All the doctors are very good at UCSF. It's is just so difficult to establish a relationship with one doctor especially for older patients. It is a big negative with the UCSF system.

    I understand that health care in the USA is now driven by money and how many patients a physician can see in a day. Dr. Appelle was appropriate and professional. I've learned to not expect too much from our health care system. I am lucky to have a good PCP.

    I sometimes had trouble hearing Dr. Appelle because we were both wearing masks and I wear hearing aids. Also the AVS was a bit confusing.

    I have been very impressed with the follow-up from Dr. Nicole Appelle.

    Received prescriptions for various types of meds but was unclear if I should start taking ALL of them as prescribed. Found out later that I was only supposed to take one of the meds which isn't helping much. I'm still experiencing symptoms that put me in the ER in the first place. I did receive a referral to see a specialist tomorrow.

    Dr Appelle REALLY listened to me and I could tell by her body language that she was really engaged and empathetic. She asked really targeted questions that showed me she is super experienced caring and smart. I can't believe she spent that much time with me. I felt renewed after the visit much more than I thought I would like when I used to see a private practice MD.
