I went to see Dr. Applegate through the VA Community Care program. She was knowledgeable on my extensive medical background, and immediately spotted a problem with neck which I had not heard before and almost immediately got VA approval. I have Parkinson’s from Agent Orange exposure. I also have diabetes, and am a bladder cancer survivor. She very quickly spoke with me about DBS, and gave me a new medication schedule which seems to help my tremors.
I love her directness, confidence & professionalism! She is compassionate and cares about me; she takes the time to listen and interact, and she is determined to help me & daughter get better & defeat out migraines caused by a car wreck.
I just read all these negative reviews and I can see some truth in what they say. However, I have been to her several times with excruciating headaches and yes, her bedside manners are lacking. But, I'm convinced that she is highly professional and very qualified in her field. She's a straight shooter and doesn't mix words when she has something to say. That's my kind of doctor, to the point without sugar coating things. If I wanted someone to just hold my hand and sympathize with me, I can get that from my friends. I would ... read more
I arrived early and was very quickly given about an hour of brain wave tests by an associate for a suspected seisure problem. I was very pleased with Dr Applegate who spent more time with me than any other doctor I have known and was appeared very intelligent in her explaintion of my problem. My wife who was with me commented that Dr Applegate was absolutely great in her opinion and has recommended her to several friends and I am of like opinion. I am 79 and have had over a dozen doctors over the years. Mountain Home AR-Feb ... read more
I was referred to Dr. Applegate for a tremor in my right hand. This tremor began about a year after my third back fusion surgery and right after a fourth disc was discovered to be failing. I have had this tremor for about a year and a half. I had a cd made of all the previous imaging for her review. She never made a comment about the information on the cd.This was the first tag team doctor’s appointment I had ever had. At first her student assistant came in and had me due some dexterity exercises and the watched me walk. He ... read more
For my first visit, Dr. Applegate was 2 hours late. I thought I had advanced Lyme's but she told me we didn't have Lyme's in MO. Should have walked out then. She misdiagnosed me with MS, so I wasted valuable time researching that. After an MRI I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. I wrote this to her 'Growing increasingly frustrated & concerned that further damage is occurring. In your opinion, am I a candidate for this procedure (Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV)) or is that a question for the neurosurgeon? ''Do not worr... read more
It's been well over 20 years since I saw Dr. Applegate. At that time she straight up told me to my face I was a hypochondriac. As a result I was left untreated for DECADES. Until I moved all the way out of state and was connected to a REAL neurologist who knew what they were doing. So now, a mountain of meds and TWO BRAIN SURGERIES LATER, I can tell you to absolutely never NEVER trust this "doctor". She will happily let you suffer!
I had two seizures this morning
She doesn't treat my daughter right she doesn't give my daughter the right meds for her seizures
