Gregory C. Appert, MD

I have wanted to care for patients for as long as I can remember and found a great avenue to do so by becoming a Physician Assistant. My philosophy of care is to provide patients with comprehensive and compassionate care the way I would like to be treated. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family at the beach, cooking and reading.

I knew medicine was the path for me since childhood. I have always been passionate about caring for others and have a deep need to discover better ways to do this. Medicine was a perfect blend of science, caring and artistry that seemed to satisfy my insatiable desire to make our lives better. My philosophy for the practice of medicine is to always aim for personalized service with respect. While I consider myself a general OB/GYN, my special interests in medicine include menopause, sexual health, vulvovaginal disorders, fibroids, and, contraception/family planning. In addition to my general OB/GYN training, I have also been certified in the O-shot and P-shot developed by Dr. Runel. Both are specialized procedures that help men and women with sexual dysfunction develop more satisfying intimate relationships. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my college-aged daughters, hiking, reading, writing, and walking my forever-a-puppy senior rescue dog.

I have always valued relationships and the ability to serve others and family medicine was the perfect choice to do both. I’m most effective as a physician when I know my patients, so a real relationship is the most important element of my care. In addition, honesty, authenticity, and communication greatly inform my practice of medicine. Since graduating from residency, I’ve been implementing lifestyle medicine, which uses diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and behaviors to treat or prevent disease. It’s most rewarding when lifestyle medicine is able to help people lose weight and feel like new people. When I'm not at work, my hobbies include include volleyball, weightlifting, writing, singing and drawing.
