Dr. Robert Appling

Dr. Robert Appling is a native of Southaven, Mississippi. He is the son of Bob and Virgie Appling. He graduated from Christian Brothers University with a degree in Biology with a Chemistry and Psychology minor. He then went on to Barry University in Miami Shores, FL to complete his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine degree in 2008.

He completed a rigorous three year hospital based residency and trained under some of the finest and world renowned foot and ankle surgeons in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Appling returned home in 2011 to enter into private practice. In 2016, Appling Podiatry, PLLC was founded in order to continue to serve the people of North Mississippi and the Memphis Metro. 

Dr. Appling proudly supports local Veterans charities whenever possible.  He designed his office to not feel like being at a doctor's office and each exam room has a theme.  Dr. Appling jokes that he never got past Little League baseball but his cousin is in the Hall of Fame so there is a baseball room.  Another room is dedicated to his family members that served in the military.
