A native of South Carolina, Dr. Appenzeller received his bachelor’s degree in biology and dramatic art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After graduation, he was accepted into Teach for America, and he taught eight- and ninth-grade science in rural Louisiana for two years. It was during his time in the student clinic that he realized an appreciation for medicine, and he decided to leave teaching and enter medical school.
Dr. Appenzeller returned to South Carolina to attend the Medical University of South Carolina. He completed a one-year internship in internal medicine and a three-year residency in ophthalmology at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Appenzeller completed his formal medical training with a fellowship in Vitreo-retinal surgery and medicine at the Cincinnati Eye Institute.
After his fellowship program, Dr. Appenzeller moved to North Carolina to practice at Alamance Eye Center from 2010 to 2015. During that time, his wife began studies for a PhD in Early Childhood Development and Deaf Education. Upon approaching completion of her degree, the couple began searching for a city that would provide a professional home for both of them. Dr. Appenzeller and his family are very excited to move to Omaha.

Dr. Appenzeller is at the very top of his field, his experience is extremely vast and his professional manner is the reason he is my doctor.
Pleasant and competent; I like this eye doctor!
Excellent as always!!!
I hope I never have to see a different eye doctor. I strongly appreciate him!!!
Thorough, authentic, caring
Dr. Appenzeller always provides great care and feedback.
HE IS VERY NICE AND TOOK TIME WITH ME !
We always feel rushed when visiting with the doctor himself. Also his recommendation for improving my vision like taking a over counter medication should have been hgiven a year ago!
Very thorough and to-the-point with my appointment. Much appreciated as I was in and out from my last visit in well under an hour, from check in to the injection to making the next appointment!
Dr. Appenzeller was awesome. Friendly, professional and, informative even tho he was covering for my regular physician. My experience couldn’t have been better.
