Hazzard's resident physician, we only saw him sporadically. However, no doctor can say that they arrived to help a women give brith to triplets in an orange stock car with welded doors, after jumping over creeks and rivers to get there! Played by Parley Baer, Doc Appleby was soft spoken and kind hearted. He was what you expected in a country doctor, whether he was treating one of the Dukes or a young orphan boy.
