Patient Reviews
Oct 10, 2017
My husband's surgery turned out to be drastically more serious than expected. His cancer doctor said that no other doctor in Rockford would have continued when the unexpected was found. They would have just sewed him up and told him to find another doctor. Dr. Appavu is very methodical, slow, patient. Does not rush appointments. He has all the time you need. So be aware that you may have to wait beyond the appointment scheduled time.
