:) Click to report rating    5/8/07 3 5 When my mother suffered a series of falls, Dr. Penton had many tests completed to try to find out what was happening. She ran everything from alzheimers to heart to bone density. Very thorough, very professional yet also very personable.

:) Click to report rating    3/15/07 3 5 Dr. Penton caught my mother's cancer early enough that it could be treated and her diligence resulted in the diagnosis of my back problem - which had been misdiagnosed for 28 years. She has always made an effot to see me and knows me well enough to know that if I say I need to see her - I need to see her.

:) Click to report rating    2/15/07 3 5 Dr Penton has some outstanding qualities.She never appears to be in a hurry, though she is generally behind time.Dr Penton refers her patients to specialists, orders investigative blood work and scans etc if there is any doubt that her diagnosis is incorrect.She speaks to you as an equal and above all listens to what you have to say.My only criticism would be that she relies on medications a lot more than I personally like.Overall Dr. Penton is an excellent G.P.

:) Click to report rating    11/25/06 3 5 She is very thorough. If she can't find the answers for you, she will refer you to someone who can. She doesn't try to rush you out of her office, she spends the time necessary with you. She is also very down-to-earth in her language, she explains everything in "plain English"
