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.

I have no doubt that my heart is in the best of hands with Dr. Penkala. She has been a member of my "care team" for the past 2.5 years and I couldn't be happier. In addition to her professional knowledge and experience, she is truly interested in my overall well-being and always listens intently to what I have to say. Dr. Penkala is always patient and thoughtful, not rushing to conclusions with me. I appreciate her as my cardiologist and consider myself to be lucky to be in her care!

Doctor did not listen to my concerns about high blood pressure, and high heart rate over pased 2 years. Dismissed me with anxiety disorder. Would not even let me tell her my blood preasure readings or heart rate readings off my blood pressure monitor to her. Said she has no concerns with my heart. Mt heart is normal. Hmmm wouldnt it be wise to go over blood pressure or heart rate readings with patient????? Doctor deserves zero stars.
