About Us
Apple Ridge Family Medicine was founded by the husband and wife team of Dr. Nora Olson and Dr. Talbot Smith in 2005. Both Dr. Olson and Dr. Smith had recently finished their residency programs in York, PA and had a desire to establish a family medicine practice that would serve Adams County, PA. The original offices were located on the campus of Gettysburg Hospital. In 2008, the offices were moved to their current location, on Biglerville Rd.
