Dr. Penton is an awesome doctor. I have nothing but precise for him.
Was very friendly, didn’t rush us and had prepared thoroughly for the consultation. Hopefully, surgery will go just as smoothly.
Very nice not to have to wait for ever .When they say your appointment is at a certain time its at that time r maybe 5 min later.Also very nice people and they show they care about you and not just there for a pay check.Highly recommend .
