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.

Dr Penna is an outstanding physician that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone and everyone. I have been seeing him for several issues over the last nine years. He is caring, extremely competent and always works diligently for the best possible outcomes.

Dr Penna performed biceps re-attachment surgery on me, at the forearm, using the "button" technique. The recovery was excellent and he only uses a splint...Not a full cast like some surgeons. This method had me back to limited duties in a short period of time. 2 years post op., my biceps tendon is stronger than before the surgery and I have no side effects from the surgery. Can barely see the scar. Dr Penna is a great surgeon, very informative and accommodating. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I saw Dr. Penna for three visits. I can't say enough about the care I received. Very accurately diagnosed my problem, extremely easy to talk to, and took his time with me and made sure all my questions were answered - I didn't feel rushed at all. I would highly recommend him - definitely a five star doc.

I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and j could not be happier with my experience. Doctor Penna is not only one of the nicest people you will ever meet but he's one of the best surgeons around. I know this not only because I feel great but because when I went to physical therapy after the surgery numerous pts said doctor Penna was the best. They said that him and his partner Doctor Paci had a great track record and people had a tendency to heal more quickly with them with no complication!
