Went to several Doctor's and they said that my elbow was in such a bad shape that it was to complicated for them to try and fix. Spoke with Mr. Penton, and he was confident in his abilities and said he could help. I was so relieved to here some kind of good news that it pick my spirit up significantly. After surgery I am well please and thankful for his dedication to the field and to people. Thank you so much Mr. Penton for your Dedication and understanding.
He is very patient and explains everything to you.
Dr. Penton is a very good doctor. He cares about his patients.
My doctor’s appointment was with Dr. Penton, however, it was a PA (Physician Assistant) that actually saw me; although the PA was OK, I was disappointed it was not the doctor that saw me which my appointment was with.
