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.

My mom had dr penman when she got pregnant for my baby brother and thats how I met him. Then when I had my 2 sons he delivered them. Was later diagnosed with endometriosis and intersral cystitis. He helped me thru both these awful diagnoses. Wish there were actually drs like him that actually listen to the patient and explain things the way he does.Broke my heart when he had to move to Lafayette and only did high risk pregnancy. Tho I later had full hysterectomy so I couldn't see him anymore ??

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Penman to anyone looking for a new OB. He is a wonderful Dr and has a great bedside manner. I had 2 miscarriages before having my daughter and Dr Penman was so caring and compassionate. I'm so thankful that he was the Dr that helped us through.

About Me

care philosophy

As a gynecologist, I have always strived to keep up to date and offer my patients the most advanced treatments and methods available. I also firmly believe that if I would not recommend something to my wife then I am not going to recommend it to my patient. That principle has served me very well for 28 years.
