Dr Chappell is the kindest, very patient, and supportive doctor that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has been treating me for a long time now and has saved my life and health. He is very patient-focused and will explain your diagnosis and medications to you in a way that you understand. He is one of a kind!

My wife and I both are patients of Dr. Chappell. He is a cut above other Drs. we have gone too. He takes all the time to answer your questions, never rushed. He explains conditions, drugs, side effects or you name it in great detail. His personality and manner really put you at ease. You quickly realize that he has your best interests at heart and is not in it just to get paid.

I have been going to Dr. Chappell for almost 15 years and I can't tell you how much I appreciate him as a Dr. and a person. I got a call from him this Saturday to go over my labs with me (that I hadn't received yet) because there were a coupe abnormal reading and he didn't want me to freak out when I saw them. How many Doctors out there today would do that for their patient? I can't recommend Dr. Chappell enough.

Dr. Chappell put the "care" back in health care. He spent over an hour with me and explained things in a clear and concise manner. He was willing to listen and took time to answer all of my questions. He provided instructions regarding follow-up care, recommended other providers, and gave me advice to ameliorate my health. The front desk/MA woman (TJ) was kind and enthusiastic. Overall a remarkable experience and would highly recommend Dr. Chappell.

If you want cutting edge non traditional treatment for your disease Dr Chappell is an excellent choice. Dr Chappell is very up to date on all the drugs associated with treating type 1 and 2 diabetes. As he states he does put the onus on the patient to be an active participant being proactive in the management of their disease but he gives you all the tools and knowledge to do so. I have been seeing him for 15 years.

Dr. Chappell ROCKS! Not only is he knowledgeable, on time, and personable he is also patient! He always takes time to explain all options in detail. He remembers you even when your follow up is only once a year. That alone is worth it's weight in gold. He is thorough. I recommend him wholeheartedly and appreciate how much he has helped me toward my goal of being cancer free.

Dr. Chappell is by far the best thyroid doctor that I have had in Denver. He knows his patients by name and always takes his time during our appointments. Unlike the over thyroid Drs that I've seen, he is very thorough in every exam. Dr. Chappell's office staff is incredibly helpful with requests and are very timely. I also have to say how fantastic the lady is who does the blood draws is and she's in house! So no running around town is needed! I highly recommend Dr. Chappell!
