Patient Reviews
Oct 06, 2017
I went to my PCP and they indicated I may have cancer but he promised me that he would call as soon he got the results. In the meantime someone called from the office called and told me I had a non treatable cancer and asked what surgeon I would like to see. Dr. Pennington's office called and saw me within 2 hours! The front staff was great!!! I have never been treated so kindly by any doctor and their staff!!! They even offered to see me the same day and bring a family member back.
