Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He’s the best caring doctor I have ever seen before, if he didn’t take good care of my health issue my life now would have been a nightmare, i thank God the rest of my life for have found doctor penner, god bless him.

I had an abdominal hernia repair done by Dr. Penner in September 2015. He did a great job and I had a fast recovery. The scar is minimal. Only thing that I would ask is to request an abdominal binder if your having abdominal surgery. My incision was glued shut. I was concerned about the wound opening up. I used a 6 in ace wrap and it worked out just fine.

Dr. Penner performed my colon resection surgery for my diverticulitis. He did an amazing job & I'm having a better than expected recovery. He answered all my questions & made sure I was comfortable with the procedure. I recommend Dr. Penner & would definitely use him again if needed (I hope it is never needed again though :).
