    I felt I was in such good care with Dr Apel. Her confidence and guidance helped me throughout my pregnancy and labor and delivery experience

    Review for Jessica Apel, DO

    OB Care

    After a traumatic birth experience with my first baby (by another practice/physician), Dr. Smith made me feel so comfortable for my cesarean birth for baby #2. She listened to my concerns, encouraged me, and made the whole birth experience as comfortable as a cesarean birth can be. I am grateful for her compassion and for bringing my son into the world safely!

    Review for Kirsten Smith, MD

    OB Care

    Dr.Smith was knowledgeable, attentive, and she generally showed interest in me as her patient and my care.

    Review for Kirsten Smith, MD

    Obstetrical Appointment (routine)

    Dr. Apel spent plenty of time with me answering questions and explaining recommendations based on data. Was disappointed that she did not follow up on my mental health since I started treatment for prenatal depression back in the first trimester and escalated to medication in the third trimester. I’ve had to be the one to muster up the courage to say there’s been a problem and ask for help through this whole pregnancy. I was feeling better on my medication by the time I had my last appointment with Dr. Apel, but was surprised she didn’t ask about it.
