I didn't get a lot of information about what was fixing to happen to me. And plus I had to wait an hour and a half to see the doctor. And I will not put up with that. An hour and a half and I have to pay parking. So to tell you the truth, I'm very disappointed in that. The doctor, he was rough. He's been rough before. And I got hurt. And he told me what it was and then I understood. But still, there has to be something where I don't get hurt like that. Never again.

I think Dr. Appelbaum is a great doctor. He listens very carefully to me. He gives me a lot of really good information and is very patient. So I feel like he's giving me the information I need to make decisions. I had a very, very long wait. It was over an hour. I think an improvement would be just to communicate to the patient that there is a delay and approximately how long I might need to wait. So it's just a communication thing. I understand things happen and sometimes things get backed up. But communicating with the patient about having to wait would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Dr. Appelbaum is an excellent physician. He did my surgery to remove a right tumor for a moving tumor from my right ear. I was very scared about it but he did an awesome job and the follow-up has been great. His staff whenever I come in everybody's very professional and I am thinking I do thank God that he has been my physician and he did my surgery and he has definitely been just just a pleasure to have as a physician and I feel like I'm in good hands. I thank God for him. I really do and so thank you Wellstar for hiring great doctors such as Dr. Appelbaum. He is phenomenal and so is his staff and definitely developed a great level of trust and feel very good when I go in the office and get my appointments. Awesome job. I feel seen. I feel heard. My questions are answered. Excellent customer service. And for someone who had a tumor that one in a million people got or get I feel very blessed to have came out
