James Trapnell, MD

I very much enjoyed my experience with reception staff and Dr. Trapnell. I arrived 15 minutes early to fill out new patient paperwork and was called to come back as soon as I was done. The nursing staff was efficient and friendly and I waited less than 10 minutes for the doctor to meet me. The meeting was directed at my concerns and the doctor was attentive. I didn’t feel rushed at any point and my concerns weren’t dismissed. Very glad Unilocal directed me here.

Dr. Trapnell is one of the two best GPs I have ever seen. He is not only exceedingly thorough and competent, but has a wickedly dry sense of humor that I like, and which helped put me at ease. He’s also quite good at breaking down complicated medical conditions and lab results in a way in which an ordinary guy like me can understand.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Trapnell’s for about two years now. He has helped me get over a few ailments. He has been a decent doctor. But I have had better Doctors in my life, but then again I have also had worse.
There are a few things that he did not help me clear up, and for those reasons in particular I am taking away a few stars from his rating. The main thing I am disappointed with is that I had versacolor all over my body. And he really had no solid recommendations for how I could get rid of it. I ended up using an over the counter anti fungal cream and it completely went away in about 2 weeks. I had versacolor for about 2 – 3 yrs. I had asked many medical professionals about this problem, and none of them had given me a good solid answer for how to get rid of it. So the fact that I cured it with such a common over the counter product without any recommendation from a medical professional was extremely frustrating to me!
Now it seems I may need to find a new doctor. Because my last visit was $ 150. Usually my visits were only $ 10 or $ 15. I’m thinking my insurance no longer covers me to go here…

Dr. Trapnell is that rare combination of highly intelligent, positive, and caring that we all want to find in a doctor. The icing on the cake is that he’s so upbeat and friendly, as are all of his staff. I feel completely reassured when I see him. The other really lovely aspects to his appointments are that I never feel he’s rushing through the appointment — always takes his time, yet I never have to wait long to see him.
He’s very up on the latest research, and he explains everything that he’s thinking about your problem.
Doesn’t get any better than Dr. Trapnell and his staff!
