Arthur E. Apolinario, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.F.P. is a Board-Certified Family Physician in North Carolina and a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. In 2007 he suddenly found himself divorced, single, lonely, and fat. He looked around and saw so many of his colleagues in medicine also in the same boat. He thought, "How can I be a good patient instructor if I can't even walk the walk?" With that he began on a massive self improvement journey that not only led to weight loss, but improvements in his style and communication and social skills. He has been trained not only in medicine and public health, but enhances his practice with hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming, and emotional freedom technique. He is well known for effectively treating obesity, smoking, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and many other common yet "difficult to treat" conditions with this new knowledge. He got his BA in English Literature at Gannon University in Erie, PA, trained at Tulane University School of Medicine to get his MD, and at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine to get his Masters in Public Health in New Orleans, Louisiana.

He actively teaches medical students as well as physician assistants in training. He was previously in charge of the NC Office of Rural Health Rural Practitioner training program, training Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants in Rural-Based Care, and was recruited by the North Carolina Medical Society's Community Practitioner program to provide rural care.
