Patient Reviews
Jan 20, 2023
I saw Dr. Penuel when it was just him in his practice. He did a colonoscopy and said I had Crohn's. Before him, I saw several doctors and was told it was my nerves. They did not do an colonoscopy or take the time to find out why I was so sick with a high fever, blood, and etc. Dr. Penuel is the best doctor and he saved my life many times.
