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.

He treated my acute condition with wrong antibiotics. Of course it turned into a chronic condition. Now I've been dealing with it for the past 2 years. He just didn't want to hear to about any of the symptoms I was having. Definitely wouldn't recommend him.

Dr. Penner has much experience working in primary care including Urgent Care, Occupational Medicine, and Family Practice. He is a good listener and really seems to care about not just making a diagnosis but treating the patient in a holistic way so he/she has a much improved life. I would highly recommend him to my family or friends!

Dr. Penner was very caring and concerned about me as an individual as well as my medical condition. He works in an incredibly busy urgent care, but is quickly able to connect and make me feel taken care of. He has a very extensive training background in both primary care and medical imaging so knows what lab and X-ray tests to order for optimum results. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends!

Went in with symptoms of heartburn, Dr Penner diagnose acid reflex and over the counter pills. A year later I went to a new doc and found out the symptoms were heart disease and I was lucky to be here. Had to go immediately for surgery. Would not recommend him.

Use to be a good Doctor, but something changed a year ago (2016). Since then Dr. Penner has been a pill to swallow, he doesn't do his job, & he's affecting his patients well-being. Dr. Penner asked me to get blood panels & other tests & when I arrive to hear the results he doesn't even remember he asked for them., Then when I ask him if I can get off medications, he says I can't, but he neglects to refill RX orders that can have physical effects for the patient if there are lapses. Not good.
