Dr. Appel is an extremely dedicated, kind and knowledgable veterinarian. He will spend whatever amount time necessary to examine you pet and answer any questions you may have. The office is very clean and the staff is very professional. In the 20 years I have been bringing my pets to see him I have never once been disatisfied or displeased. Dr. Appel has morals, values and a genuine love for animals and what he does...what more could we ask for?

I once went to him with a sick hamster; he claimed to know "exotics". He could not even diagnose what I later learned was a simple case of Cushing's Disease. All he wanted to do was more expensive tests. Even when another vet on the phone asked him to prescribe an internal antibiotic for the poor animal's raw skin he refused. I reported him to the NYS Office of Professional Discipline. That poor animal suffered needless because of him and I will never forgive him. He may know dogs or cats, but that is it. Money grubber!! The hamster should have been euthanized, and if he knew what he was doing she would have been. I know now more than he does by far about "exotics".

Dr. Appel is the most dedicated veterinarianI have ever encountered. I have his cell phone number..he gives it to all his clients, freely making himself available nights, weekends, even on holidays. It's shocking, he's always there when you need him. His staff has been with him for many years... they are the most passionate caring group of people who remember me and my pets names. They always call me at home for follow up and I never have to initiate a call for lab work, Dr. Appel calls me.
