My visit with Dr. Pennington was one of the best experiences I've had with a new doctor. He took the time to truly listen, acknowledged my concerns, and made me feel like my voice mattered. That level of respect isn't something you always find, and it stood out immediately. As a veteran with 26 years of service, I deeply appreciate when a provider understands the importance of being heard and treated with dignity. Dr. Pennington did exactly that. He approached my health with clarity, patience, and genuine care-never rushing, never dismissing anything I brought up. At 47, I also value a doctor who looks at the full picture. He offered thoughtful options tailored to my age and long-term well-being, explaining everything in a way that made sense and helped me feel confident moving forward. Dr. Pennington combines professionalism, empathy, and real attentiveness. I left the appointment feeling supported, respected, and grateful to have him as my new doctor.

The front desk clerk was pleasant. However it was a full 2 mins after I walked up to the window to say I had an appointment before she even acknowledged me.

I have recommended this office to everyone I know. Dr Pennington is not your typical doctor. He shows true care and always listens. I've never been to a doctor like him. He has helped my entire family. I will go wherever he goes at this point. The staff are always so sweet and nice. If you don't know all of this you should.
