My first visit to Dr Penton office was highly approved. The service was great from the moment I arrived. Everyone treated me as if I had always been treated there. Dr Penton was great. He explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. Thank you all for making me feel welcome.
Very informative as well as a great bedside manner. Seems to be truly concerned about your wellbeing and recovery.
Very thorough and took the time to explain condition and treatment.
Took a little longer than usual but they were super busy! Loved Chip Landry and the nurses’ demeanor — so nice and friendly!!
Very nice Dr. explained everything to me so I could understand. Gave 5 stars.
My family and I have seen Dr Penton for a few years and have always been extremely satisfied with his professionalism and care for his patient. He takes the time to explain and answer questions.
