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.

Unempathetic and dismissive
Made me feel like I was annoying her by even being there. Did not take my concerns seriously and left me feeling very alone and frustrated.

I was extremely happy with the care I received from Dr Penn. She is skilled, caring and knowledgeable. I appreciated her ability to show empathy without creating fear. She takes a lot of time to explain the diagnosis and treatment options. She was honest about potential outcomes and and her confidence was reassuring. I highly recommend Dr Penn, particularly for anyone dealing with breast cancer. Also, she has an excellent assistant who was reliable and helpful throughout my care.

Dr. Penn is amazing. So caring, and values my time. And there is just something about her that is so calming and sure. I loved that any little complaint I had she listened and she took the time to talk about it with me.

I saw Dr. Penn for a double Mastectomy for breast cancer and gene mutation. I cant believe how wonderfully I was treated from all of her staff and most of all Dr. Penn. Her compassion, listening and collaboration with me every step of the way created a trusting and respectful patient / Doctor relationship. I cant begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for all of her care and follow up...Highly recommended and trusted.
