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.

Surgery fails after 47 years.
Had surgery back in 1975. His hands worked miracles. Very little to NO pain for 46 years. Now at 96 years of age I need his help again. Is there any help available you are older and wiser?

Dr. Penn did my temporal lobe brain surgery for my uncontrolled epilepsy in 2007. He was phenomenal, very caring and kind and did an awesome job. Other doctors can't believe how neat and what a great job he did. May sound trivial but you can't even tell I've had brain surgery. He was so compassionate. I would recommend him to anyone. Even the pain level after the surgery was so much less than I ever thought it would be.
