        Dr. Pennington is clear and concise on his diagnosis while still being personable

        First time seeing Dr. Pennington and I would definitely recommend. He was clear and concise on his diagnosis without using too much medical terminology so I could understand and lead a clear path to future options. We also had a nice conversation about the Kentucky Bourbon Trail during my appointment. It was nice for a doctor to spend a couple extra minutes to talk and get to know me without feeling super rushed through the appointment or like I was “just another patient” during the day.

        Great physician who explained what to expect.

        Dr. Pennington explained my procedure in detail, what to expect and how long recovery would take. He put my mind at ease as to what to expect. He was very friendly and easy to talk to and ask questions.
