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.

Highly Recommend
Dr. Penn doesn’t keep his patients waiting. He is attentive, caring and thorough.

He really is lovely
Telehealth
Dr. Penn has an easy nature about him while remaining professional and competent. He listens to what’s being said, what’s left unspoken, and understands his role as a provider in patient-led care. He practices medicine the way we all hope it would be practiced, and he’s genuinely a nice guy.

Great Doctor, great visit.
My follow up visit with Dr Penn was great. I love the way he takes time to talk to you and never seems to be in a hurry. Along with giving me great advice on how to improve my health. I followed his recommendations and all my numbers came back good. Thanks Dr Penn. Keep up the good work.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Penn and I can say he is very knowledgeable and very thorough. He isn’t there to just assess and diagnose with ease, he goes through the proper steps before starting any interventions. Very friendly and hands on.

Getting to know him… so far so good ! He listens
I have been sick 10 days self medicating. Cant shake it and ear started hurting. I had a Telehealth appt but hurriedly called in to change it to a person to person visit.. He accommodated. . Glad I went in bec I had in infected ear which he immediately saw using the ear-light and prescribed some powerful meds to help rid me of it. I have learned it’s important to emphasize exactly the problem and not let anything be overlooked.

One of the best in BR
I’ve been seeing Dr Penn for several years now. I highly recommend him. He is very personable and never in a rush. His treatment plans are clear and explained well. I use to hate to go to the doctor but I never dread going to see Dr Penn. He takes a genuine interest in my overall health. Dr. Penn’s nurse is also the best and she takes just as much as interest in his patients a he does. I was having a problem finding a certain medicine and she found it for me at a local pharmacy. If I send Dr Penn a message on MyChart he or his nurse usually answer in a couple of hours and always at least on the same day. Dr. Penn and his team are the best!

Awesome is an understatement
Dr. Penn is so patient and thorough!!! You would never like that he had other patients to be seen because he doesn’t rush through your visit. My family was looking for another physician because ours was retiring. We searched all over the internet for the right doctor. We searched review after review and had a lot of recommendations from people we knew. A coworker told be about a doctor that he and his wife were seeing at The BRC. Since I already had 2 doctors there, it just seemed right to find another one there. After asking some questions about the other doctor, I was told to consider Dr. Wesley Penn. After reading his reviews, I decided to go with him and his reviews did not miss. What an awesome person and physician he is. So much so, that my whole family has started seeing him and we are all quite smitten.
