Testimonials

Patients Say

There are very few doctors left like Dr. Appou. He is very patient-focused and goes above and beyond to ensure his patients are always comfortable. His pain management skills are superb, and you can tell he really loves his job and working to make patients feel safe in his hands.
I had a gallbladder removal with Dr. Appou. He is a very skillful doctor, explains in detail, and made me feel very comfortable. The best part of the experience was he made sure I was pricked as minimally as possible and no unnecessary medication was used. Very thorough with procedures and follow-up too.
5-star experience! Dr. Appou is an exceptional surgeon with a caring and compassionate approach. The entire process, from consultation to recovery, was smooth and well explained.  Dr Appou demonstrated expertise, precision, and a genuine concern for my well-being. Highly recommended for hernia surgery.
Really happy with the service from FUH, especially Dr. Appou and nurses Venus, Tsu and Saajna. Everyone was very friendly, courteous, and professional throughout the entire consultation, procedure, and post-op processes. Me and my wife only have good things to say. We felt well informed and safe in our choices, which definitely helped alleviate a lot of stress. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
