Reviews
First time seeing Dr. Pennington and I would definitely recommend. He was clear and concise on his diagnosis without using too much medical terminology so I could understand and lead a clear path to future options. We also had a nice conversation about the Kentucky Bourbon Trail during my appointment. It was nice for a doctor to spend a couple extra minutes to talk and get to know me without feeling super rushed through the appointment or like I was “just another patient” during the day.
Will definitely go back.
Had a breast reduction surgery that went without a hitch and turned out beautiful!
Dr. Pennington explained my procedure in detail, what to expect and how long recovery would take. He put my mind at ease as to what to expect. He was very friendly and easy to talk to and ask questions.
Great, doctor and staff outstanding
Professional service with excellent result
Dr. Pennington and his staff went above and beyond to make my experience as comfortable as possible from the consultation to post op to day of surgery the entire team worked together and were very informative and kind.
Dr. Pennington did a phenomenal job with my surgery. I knew what to expect and has explained everything to me thru each step.
Dr.Pennington, listened to me, explained the proceedure and when I was having an issue with dissolving stitches his staff got me in right away for him to check them out.
Thank you!
Dr. Pennington is a wonderful doctor! He is patient, knowledgeable, and more than good to me. I am always more than happy and satisfied when leaving his office. He is also super professional and caring. His nurse and staff are wonderful too! I would highly recommend Dr. Pennington! He is one of the BEST!
Very efficient and likable. I understood everything he talked about. I felt very comfortable. Great staff. I would highly recommend
Dr Pennington was cool. He made me feel relaxed during my office visit and explained my surgery very well. I was not nervous at all the day of my surgery. And my incision looks awesome!
I have only good things to say. I never had a problem with appointments and trusted his knowledge of carpal tunnel, understanding my symptoms and having me take a nerve test to back up his prognosis. He checked on me in surgery both before and after my surgery. I had clear cut directions as to how to care for my post surgery.
I would highly recommend him to anyone with similar problems. He is competent and kind.
Felt very comfortable with the doctor. Nurses were great too!!
Dr Pennington does fantastic work! I went in for a procedure and we discussed everything I was looking for, advised me on areas that were less treatable and why, and explained the entire process to me. Everything went exactly as described, and the results were amazing. Every single person I met and worked with on his staff were absolutely wonderful. I would absolutely go back and recommend to others!
Dr. Pennington talked me right through all that was happening. Atmosphere was clean and quiet and I felt very comfortable having a minor procedure done there. Should I need more w done I will definitely come back!!
