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.

Wonderful experience as far as surgery goes.
He is great. He did my knee replacement surgery and will be doing my shoulder replacement surgery. I would recommend him for any one looking to have a joint replacement. He listens to your questions and concerns. He puts you at ease. Working with Ft Wayne Orthopedics for my joint replacement made this stressful surgery less stressful for me and my family. The nurses in the Surgery Center in Warsaw are also awesome.

Dr Penney is an exceptional doctor
Dr Penney is one of the kindest doctors I've ever been to. He is so patient and genuinely wants to help his patients feel better.Dr Penney did total knee replacements in both of my knees. I couldn't have asked for a more caring and informative doctor. He made sure that I knew what was happening step by step and checked in on me to make sure that I was doing ok.Dr Penney and his staff go above and beyond to make sure that each one of his patients are made to always feel welcome and important.

Above and beyond
Dr. Penny took every opportunity to go above and beyond to help during less than ideal circumstances. From being willing to “schedule me in” for surgery even if it meant staying late or coming in early to calling on a Sunday to check in after surgery, his compassion, knowledge and skill is unparalleled. I would 100% trust his medical advice as well as recommend his services to anyone in need of orthopedic care.

Amazing and efficient!
I had total hip replacement 4 weeks ago and I had NO physical therapy at all! He was very thorough, gave me all of the information I needed to be successful and I was walking that first day. I used a walker for a few days but it wasn’t really necessary, just a precaution. He is quick in surgery and always on time. A+++! I highly recommend him for any major orthopedic surgery!

Dr Penny is personable and, most importantly, an excellent surgeon. I had my first PKR and had outstanding results. I’m looking forward to getting the same procedure done on my other knee.

This group has been beyond excellent. Someone is always there by phone without having to push 10 buttons before speaking to a human. Very supportive before and after surgery. Dr Penny and Courtney NP provided education and asked several times if I had any questions before both knee surgeries and after surgeries. There is a daily checking line after surgery for about 17 days where your pain, emotional status and continued education on DVT is provided. I’d have to say 2 thumbs up and more. Continue to do exactly what you all have been doing. If I ever have orthopedic issues in the future this is the group I’ll use again. BTW I’m from Ga and I stayed in Indiana specifically for this group due to others recommending them.

Dr Penny is a great Doctor. He tried everything he could do to keep me from having surgery, but it just didn't work out. He takes time to explain things to you. And he and his staff are there if I had/have any questions or need anything. I know several people who have him as a doctor and they all like him.

Dr. Penny has done a great job with my injuries. I have more than 1 surgery by Dr. Penny. Courtney is a great asset to his team. The pre-op labs and tests need to be checked well in advance. They should be reviewed as soon as the results come in.

Dr. Penny diagnosed and surgically treated me for a total Rotator Cuff failure together with damage to the bicep and bursitis. Throughout this difficult experience Dr. Penny proved his education, experience and skills to achieve a successful outcome plus all the while exhibiting professionalism. His straight forward communication and knowledge is appreciated and gave me confidence.
