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.

Excellent provider and staff. Knowledgeable, compassionate, and accessible. They have done a great job dealing with telehealth during Covid. Dr. Penmatcha has taken care of my Psoriatic Arthritis for over 15 years and she is quite amazing with her knowledge and memory of my condition and issues. She spends a great deal of time with each patient and I never feel rushed. I wouldn’t trust my care to anyone else. She stays up on all current studies and medications and explains treatment plans thoroughly. The office staff is also very helpful, friendly, patient, and compassionate.

She is an excellent doctor; extremely detailed, thorough and friendly. She does NOT, however, treat fibromyalgia; she sends you back to your family doctor. My impression is she does not take it seriously; very unfortunate. Highly recommend if you're looking for a diagnosis (including fibromyalgia) or need a doctor for anything rheumatology-related except fibromyalgia.
