    I am a senior citizen who has had approximately 25 PCP's, including 6 at UCSF. All the UCSF PCP's were outstanding, but Dr. Appelle stands out as the best of the best. She is simply outstanding in every category.

    Dr. Appelle was very tentative to all my questions and concerns but would have liked more concrete answers to my concerns or questions about my health.

    I think Dr. Appelle is a good physician and that's important to me. I find her to be a very matter-of-fact individual and that's OK. Sometimes she is more "warm and fuzzy" but other times she is noticeably less so.

    Dr Nichole Appell always helps with insights into my health, and she is as kind and charming as she is knowledgeable. I feel quite lucky to have her as my physician.

    Dr. Appelle is amazing. She works tirelessly to listen carefully to everything I have to say, to offer a variety of treatment options, and solicit my opinion too. I can always rely on her when I'm feeling worried and stressed about medical issues. She always makes me feel better.

    I didn't meet with care provider as they were late and I couldn't wait any longer. I did get blood labs done, but explanation of labs was poor

    Amazing doctor for both of us

    Dr. Appelle took the time to look at my medications. She noticed one was at a rather high dose and discussed how to taper it down. She also made changes as to what time I should take the medication. I appreciate her concern .

    I really liked this doctor. It's obvious she's smart but more importantly listened to my concerns and didn't try to pin it all on depression or my weight. I thought she did a great job.

    I've been a patient w/Dr Appelle for many years and she always helps me to maintain my overall decisions keeping my health manageable
    Feb 17, 2023
    Dr Appelle is usually helpful because she makes time to address my complete list of questions every visit. My experience with other PCPs Is restricting discussion to only a few issues and putting off the rest to future visits.

    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!
