His father is a urologist in Ann Arbor, Michigan which helped direct his interest towards genitourinary surgery. He completed his urological residency training at the University of Miami under the guidance of Dr. Mark Soloway.

He spent the year working with world-renowned robotic surgery expert, Professor Anthony Costello in Melbourne, Australia.(www.tonycostello.com.au) It was during this invaluable year that Dr. Van Appledorn learned to perform robotic prostatectomies to treat prostate cancer. He was also part of the world’s first randomized trial comparing KTP laser prostatectomy with traditional surgery for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Dr. Van Appledorn established a urology practice in Fort Pierce, Florida with Dr. Adam Ball in 2005. His main interest is minimally invasive treatments of genitourinary cancers, BPH, and kidney stones. Some of the surgical procedures he performs include laparoscopic kidney removal, robotic surgery for prostate cancer, and laser surgery for BPH. Outside of the hospital, Dr. Van Appledorn enjoys spending time with his wife Samantha and two young children. Samantha is a former news broadcaster for the CBS affiliate in Miami. He is looking forward to teaching his children to play golf.
