        Great experience with Dr. Pennington

        I had a bad accident and Dr. Pennington was able to repair the damage and was able to answer my questions honestly and quickly. Very flexible with follow up appointments as well. Highly recommend!

        Great Experience

        My experience with this surgery was fantastic. Dr. Pennington and the entire Hospital staff was very caring, polite and professional. I wish I would of had my surgery done years ago. I will have any other surgeries needed, here at Crystal /clinic in the future.

        No More Pain!

        Dr. Pennington is amazing. He listens carefully and explains everything very thoroughly. I had bilateral carpal tunnel release and THE NEXT day I had relief from the pain and numbness that had been bothering me for years. My only regret is that I didn't have it done sooner.
