Patient Reviews
Nov 21, 2019
Dr Penar is an exceptional Dr that is very intelligent and clearly explained the information about my condition. His surgery on me was successful/professional and he was clearly concerned about me as a patient and as a person. For an later/additional issue I had his consultation was again clearly explained and he referred me to a different specialist due to the findings. Many other Dr’s (surgeons) at his level would (and have in my experience) “rush” to get me on their operating table. He again professionally deferred to another specialist who he thought was a better chance at a successful treatment plan for my condition. I can’t recommend him more. I have nothing but respect for him and his care.
