ALTON APPLETON, MD REVIEWS

I can't say enough good things about this place and the people who run it! I have NEVER been to any place like this in my life. They have made me feel so comfortable talking with them. So if you're at all on the fence about coming here, do not hesitate any longer come and see these guys! Dr. Appleton has been very easy to talk to about anything. He makes you feel so comfortable in speaking about what's going on. And lastly Mrs. Marsha! What can I say but she has been AMAZING since my first interaction with her over the phone before I ever came in the office. It's so nice to find people who truly care about the people they see! Mrs. Marsha deserves 1000 stars.

I have dealt with panic disorder, PTSD, and depression since I was a child. For the first time in 20 years when I walked through the door I felt at ease. Marsha was so welcoming, kind, caring, and warm. Dr. Appleton blew me away with his compassion, and the way he listened as I broke down and fell apart explaining the trauma, abuse, manipulation, and hurt I've been through. He never rushed me, never looked at a clock or watch or worried who was next in line. He listened and was warm and kind. He's also honest and very intelligent! If you are struggling book your appointment TODAY. Mrs. Marsha got me in right away. I am blessed that God led me to them.

It was very easy to get an appointment to see Dr. Appleton. The staff was very accommodating and professional. Dr. Appleton was very easy to talk to, his non-judgemental demeanor made it so easy to talk with him. His high level professionalism made it so easy to build rapport and trust, in order to open up to him. I am so happy I made this choice. I will definitely be returning to this wellness center.

ANDREW J PIERCE, MD REVIEWS

Dr Pierce is very patient, understanding and listens. This review is for the actual Doctor, not the staff or building. Dr Pierce has been a life saver, especially during this pandemic and was able to squeeze me in as a new patient in March. I highly recommend Dr Pierce - he has been working with me for my depression and high anxiety.

Dr. Pierce truly seemed to understand my problems having the dreams and really wanted to find the right meds to help. Others ive seen made me feel like they just wanted to give a certain pill or pills like as if they got a bonus from that manufacture. Thank you Dr. Pierce for all you do.

Dr Andrew Pierce has been my best doctor that I have ever had.
