    Ron always sets his computer on the desk and comes over to me, faces me and has a genuine conversation about how I'm doing, if I'm doing anything new and exciting, etc. Takes the time to listen and gives positive feedback. It's a rare quality in today's fast paced medical care where you are usually herded in and out so fast your head spins.

    Loved the online appointment as it was so easy! Especially at 11:00 pm and then to get an appointment at 8:45 am the next morning. Really like in the online appointment that I could explain my problem and when I arrived in the morning the entire team knew exactly what to do. Ron, his MA's and office staff were exceptional. Couldn't ask for a better experience from the Oaklawn team.

    Let me be clear that the only person in the office that didn't do their job right was Dr Ron Applebey. He belittled my problem and it seems he ordered every test I went through not because he believed in my problem, but because he had to. I still don't know what happened to me but maybe after I give back the EKG I will.

    I've seen another Dr before this appointment, trying to find a primary care Dr since my last Dr moved out of state. Although I don't have any complaints about the prior office, I just didn't feel a connection. After this apt I've chosen to make Mr Applebey my primary care provider. He made me comfortable and was genuinely concerned about helping me with my health concerns! Very happy I found him!
