Nicole A. Appelle

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!

She always listens and takes part on how to go forward w/my ongoing chronic illness

Dr. Appelle is a wonderful provider. Always helpful and responds immediately to our concerns.

I only have laudatory comments re Dr. Appelle who has been my GP for several (>8) years.

Dr Appelle is the ideal PCP.

Fulsome conversation re treatment options really appreciated!

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.

Dr. Appelle is thoroughly professional and also easy to talk to. A great doctor.

Great doctor

Very good experience!

Dr Appelle listens carefully addresses the issues raised. She is an excellent clinician. I trust her completely. She is a wonderful doctor

No follow up was mentioned.

My primary care doc is very expert and thorough. She explains things well and listens carefully to my questions concerns and information.

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've received excellent care from Dr. Appelle for all the years she has been my pcp. I've heartily recommended her to my friends and relatives.

Dr. Appelle is WONDERFUL. She's knowledgeablelistens carefully very good clinician very compassionate. A FANTASTIC doctor.

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.

Dr. Nicole Appelle is a great doctor!

I felt the appointment was very rushed because the doctor was running late.

This appointment was to establish care with Dr. Appelle. Our first appointment - very impressed with her.

Dr Appelle always show concerns about my health care and helps me to understands how to manage w/prescribing lots of medicine to maintain my life
