Dr. Apesos is an active staff member at Kettering Medical Center, Atrium Medical Center, Bidwell Surgery Center, Children's Medical Center, Medical Center at Elizabeth Place, and Miami Valley Hospital in the Dayton Ohio Area. He performs outpatient surgery at all of the Miami Valley's surgicenters.

Dr. Apesos' patients come in a wide variety of ages, backgrounds and cultures. His patients have traveled from the European, Asian, and African continents for treatment by Dr. Apesos. Improving the appearance, self-image, and function of all his patients remains his chief focus. As his practice keeps growing, his ideas for the new century are sure to be exciting.

Dr. Apesos has given numerous presentations, and has published journal articles on the subject of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. He has joined with other knowledgeable physicians to educate and stimulate discussions on the latest techniques.

Always ready to discuss the latest in plastic surgery, Dr. Apesos has been featured in a CBS Television special, “Ordinary Extraordinary,” and has been presented on The Learning Channel and lately on ABC Television’s 20/20 where he performed laser surgery on a patient who utilized hypnosis instead of the typical anesthesia. His candid approach and willingness to speak his mind have contributed to making him an internationally known spokesman for plastic surgery.

While his practice is now devoted to cosmetic surgery, Dr. Apesos feels compelled to tell the story of a young man's courage. The story has captured hearts around the world and has been featured on network daytime and evening network television. "He presented me with one of my most challenging opportunities, yet I have learned much by knowing him and his family. I continue to follow his progress with thanksgiving." Check out his story: A Miracle of Reconstruction.

An avid ballroom dancer, Dr. Apesos also proudly supports the efforts of DayOfDance.org.

One other significant Ohio Frank Lloyd Wright destination is the Kenneth L. Meyers Medical Clinic in Dayton. Currently called the Plastic Surgery Pavilion, it serves as the clinic of Dr. James Apesos and features a circular laboratory in the center of the medical section. Sited on a large tract of land back from the street, the structure appears to rise from the earth. This long, low brick building is imposing, with bands of windows that meet at the corners. Eaves are broad, and a low entry leads to the high space of the main room. Once again a large hearth—the center of many Wright designs—offers welcome. Bench seating based on Wright's plan was added in 1989, so were two large tables. (The clinic dates to 1956.) Dr. Apesos has been careful to adhere to Wright's influence in other appointments as well, such as a narrow terrace of red-dyed concrete that echoes the color of the brick.

Tours of the clinic are available from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Since the building is a working clinic, visitors are asked to call (937) 435-0031 to make tour arrangements.
