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

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!

Unlike so many others, I liked Dr Applegate, however, I had an MRI over a year and a half ago and still don't know what the results were. No point now, I called numerous times and left messages, after 2 or 3 months someone finally answered, said they weren't getting their messages and couldn't see any point in getting it fixed as they were moving. They assured me they would get the nurse, have her talk to the Dr and someone would call me. Of course, no one called. Of course, I was charged for a MRI with no results ever given... read more

Dr.Applegate is a very unprofessional and rude woman . She lacks any empathy or care to address any questions or concerns. Would rate her negative stars if that was possible.
