Dr Penn listens and talks to me about what we know and don’t know and test results . Working on a plan. Appreciate the info.

Had a great experience, would recommend. Always professional, and caring- listens (pt. feels heard), makes sure pt. understands and answers questions, thoroughly explains things…etc. I trust her with my mom. Unapologetically, I will say my mom’s prior oncologist doesn’t measure up to Dr. Penn.

She made an extra effort to see me earlier because of some anxiety.I had about a test

Dr Penn, besides being an excellent and current physician, is a real human being.
