“Dr. APPELBOOM deserves 10 stars.”

Dr. APPELBOOM deserves 10 stars. Awesome surgeon with a personality to match. If you need an excellent neurosurgeon, he’s #1 in my book. Was able to eliminate my pain after so many other surgeons failed to help me.

“Review of Dr. Appleboom”

Dr. Appleboom is a fantastic surgeon. His bedside manner was exceptional. Since this was my first
surgery, I immediately felt at ease and felt confident in receiving expert medical care. He explained the
procedure and what to expect in terms that were easy to understand. His staff is also very friendly,
professional and helped with my insurance. I highly recommend him to anyone.

“Great surgeon, great staff!”

I met with Dr. Appelbloom to discuss 2 major issues with my back; a meningioma in my thoracic spine and spinal stenosis in my lumbar spine which contributed to chronic sciatica. Dr. Appelbloom operated two times, both successfully. Dr. Appelbloom is warm and friendly and listened carefully to my needs and concerns. He recommended the best solutions to the problems and I experienced a very successful outcome. Also, his office staff, especially Johanna Mejia, is extremely helpful and responsive!!

“From the first moment I met Dr. Geoff Appelboom, I knew I was in good hands”

When I started experiencing issues with tingling and numbness in my right leg and foot from Spinal Stenosis, I immediately started researching different neurosurgeons. Based on his bio and patient reviews I chose Dr. Appelboom. He is a highly skilled neurosurgeon whose manners made a lasting impression; from the moment he came out to the waiting room to greet me and shake my hand, to not feeling rushed, he treated me like I was guest in his house. I never felt so relaxed around a doctor.

“Dr Appelboom was terrific!”

When I was told I could not see my orthopedic surgeon due to the fact that my insurance changed after the 1st of the year, I had to find a new surgeon rather quickly and that's a daunting experience when you've come to trust someone else. I asked the orthopedic surgeon who he recommended and was told he worked many times with Dr Appelboom. I felt very comfortable upon meeting him and was glad I made my decision because he was more than confident he could correct what I needed to have done. 10+

“Dr. Appelboom is caring and his team is fantastic.”

Dr. Geoff Appelboom is one of the best listeners I have met in my life. I never felt rushed in his office. He took the time to listen to my story. I had a cervical discectomy and fusion on discs C5/C6 on September 14th, 2022. His surgical team were friendly, professional, and reassuring. Dr. Appelboom has the knowledge/education, experience/skills, and a fantastic bedside manor. I'm currently recovering from my operation. However, I am extremely grateful to his entire, staff, team and to him.

“A REAL TOP NOTCH PHYSICIAN!”

Dr. Appelboom is, by far, the best surgeon I have had the unique opportunity to have as a physician! His bedside manner is EXCELLENT! He is personable, caring and totally relatable. His emotional intelligence and empathy was second to none. At all times, I felt like a partner in my care as opposed to a victim of my ailment. Dr. Appelboom kept encouraged while dealing with any and all barriers to my healthcare outcomes.

He is only matched by that of his Navigator, Johanna! She was responsive and

“Exceptional Neurosurgeon”

Dr. Appelboom was exceptional. He took time to explain everything to myself and my husband. He gave us all the options and allowed us to make our decision. I was very nervous to have this procedure, but Dr. Appelboom is an excellent neurosurgeon and his knowledge and patience, plus his bedside manner is truly amazing. For my follow up after surgery, he was so kind and answered all my questions and explained the results of my biopsy and removed my staples himself. He truly is a caring Dr.

“Our experience with Dr. Appleboom has been nothing short of amazing.”

Our experience with Dr. Appleboom has been nothing short of amazing. Our mother had been suffering from debilitating, growing pain in her left neck, shoulder, and arm area since summer 2019. Unfortunately for her, this pain began post elbow surgery, which led many of her treating doctors to assume that the pain was related to the surgery. After many months of visits with specialists and endless diagnostic imaging it was concluded that our mother had a pinched nerve between discs C5-C6. Once we c

“Dr. Appelboom and his Team are the Absolute Best!!”

Dr. Appelboom and his team are the absolute best. I had emergency spine surgery on my neck and Dr.Appelboom and his team made it through a snowstorm to due the surgery and save the use of my right hand/arm. A wonderfully talented surgeon, Dr. Appelboom is very kind and considerate, and is the consummate professional. Johanna Mejia, his assistant is wonderful! I would recommend Dr. Appelboom to anyone who is experiencing any kind of neurological problem requiring intervention especially surgery.
