"I can always rely on Dr. Applebaum's advice"

I had an 8 a.m. appointment today with Dr. Applebaum. I have seen Dr. Applebaum for over 10 years now; although I have had no cardiac episodes, I have been seen by Dr. A because I have a family history of heart disease and I am Type 2 diabetic. Dr. Applebaum treated my step father for nearly 20 years; he carefully monitored him and provided him with a good quality of life post a serious heart attack which left his heart severely damaged. I was seen today promptly by Lisa, Dr. Applebaum's assistant. She is always cordial and is a tremendous help when I need refills of my prescriptions, etc. I can always rely on Dr. Applebaum's advice and judgement. Most recently, he addressed issues related to intolerance of statin drugs. Today, I was pleased to learn that all of my lipid labs were in perfect alignment, Thank you, Dr. Applebaum, and staff!!...

"He is absolutely dedicated to caring for his patients."

I had surgery scheduled in 10 days at Moffitt, and the anesthesiologist was requiring a batch of tests before they would approve surgery. We are 1-1/2 hours from Tampa, but Dr Applebaum saw us the same day within an hour. He is a knowledgeable, personable and a caring man. Had me back in for the required tests in a few days and remedied a problem I had been having with BP meds that my GP has not been able to solve in months. We will be continuing on with Dr. Applebaum as our cardiologist, even with the long ride to see him. He is absolutely dedicated to caring for his patients. Thanks to him and his staff for such great care.... Read More +
