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 Pennington has been my Gastroenterologist 15 years and helped me get through a two week hospital stay for pancreatitis and several other illnesses during that time. He answers all questions and never rushes you. He has a very good bedside manner and I would highly recommend him for your gastroenterologist.

Great Experience
I was somewhat nervous about my initial appointment, but Dr. P did an excellent job quieting my fears. He took his time answering my questions and made sure that I was comfortable with the information. I would definitely recommend him to my loved ones. I had the opportunity to go somewhere else and be seen sooner, but I was told that he was the best, and I’m happy that I waited. No complaints.

Dr. Pennington is the BEST!!!!!!!
Dr. Pennington was the first GI physician ( and I have seen Many), that was able to diagnose and treat me properly. After YEARS of suffering I have relief!!!! Dr. Pennington has gone above and beyond, to assist me in acquiring a very expensive prescription drug, I would otherwise been unable to afford. Thank you Dr. Pennington!!!!! You are appreciated!!!! Also thanks to his excellent nurse Amber for all her help. Always pleasant and glad to help. I am grateful!!!!!
