My appointment was for 7:30 in the morning then it got 12:30 that after noon, people have lives too got up walked out after 5 hour waite they went back hope she lost other people to. Kind of stupid uh what would you have done?
Dr Applegate was my mother in law's Dr. When my mother in law was experiencing horrible pain Dr Applegate ordered no test and said the pain was all in her head due to her Alzheimer's. My mother in law passed away 4 days later from Sepsis from an intestinal blockage. The woman should not be allowed to be a Dr!
Her bedside manner is lacking in every possible way. Said my car wasn't worth what migraine injections cost.. Wth?? I have trigeminal neuralgia!! And can barely get out of my house... Compassion is not her strong suit. Wow I waited so long and prayed for help.. I am a patient, not a criminal
I was warned about her, but thought there was no way what I heard could be true. Now I know it wasn't the slightest bit exaggerated. This wannabe psychiatrist ignored my irrefutable spine and nerve problems, diagnosed and operated on by a neurosurgeon. Instead, she dug deep in my personal life under guise of small talk, said I have no physical problems, and wanted to assess me for a schizophrenic disorder because she says I have no reason to be experiencing pain, said it's in my head.
Very poor doctor. I waited for almost two hours. After proving my 30 years of symptoms and suffering, through past medical records, she states my symptoms of multiple sclerosis are all in my head. A pulmonologist referred me to her, due to diaphragm paralysis. She refused to test me and accused me of self-diagnosing. I tried to go over my symptoms with her again, and she snapped "I do not want to hear your symptoms again. I am already late." I continue to suffer under doctors like her. Stay away
I was seeing Dr Applegate because I was having left sided weakness, tachycardia, headaches, shortness of breath, & hyper reflexive reflexes for about two years. After examinations She treated me with great disrespect and told me I needed psychological help because there was nothing physically wrong with me. It turned out I had a tumor in my heart and was having mini strokes for at least two years. I had to Have open heart surgery and MRI confirmed the mini- strokes. What a terrible tragedy!
She overbooks her patients and sometimes you have to wait 3-4 hours to see her. She can also make you feel like an uneducated idiot depending on the type of day she is having. Very untrustworthy and does not take your pain seriously.
Doesn't really listen to the patient. Doesn't thoroughly explain the issue or the treatment. Seems to treat the patient and caregivers as if they aren't capable of understanding or of asking what she considers important questions.
