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.

Great Doctor.
Dr. Pennebaker has been a real professional to me. He helped me when I had a knee infection, and he has been a great help to me more than ever since he started before it became MUSC. So to me, he is a great Doctor and Friend.

Run!
I used him for several years, until I found out he had let me go into multiple surgeries after failing 2 heart tests. Thank goodness the next surgeon (orthopedic surgeon) caught the discrepancy and immediately referred me to a cardiologist, who did an emergency heart stent! The Cardiologist informed me that I had a widow maker with a 75% blockage and probably wouldn’t have survived the surgery that Pennebaker had previously cleared me for. This in my opinion was beyond reckless, and when I confronted him about it, he yelled at me and my husband. I cannot stress enough that I would not recommend him, unless you like a rude and incompetent doctor.

Docter Gordon Pennebaker is very rude and unprofessional. He has no manners to speak and if you ask him anything you won't get a reply. He will insist on doing test after test just so he makes money. I don't trust him anymore with his advice or his treatments, its time to switch doctor.

During the Labor Day Holiday I got sick and needed a blood transfusion due to an Ulcer. Dr. Pennebaker and the staff at Kershaw Health did an outstanding job making sure I get the right amount of blood. They also followed up to make sure I was doing well.
