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.

Best doctor!
She is always so personable, knows what she is talking about, and her nurse is the best. She doesn’t have an ego, and I trust her 100 percent. I have been seeing Dr. Pendlebury for at least 20 years now. I highly recommend her to anyone having multiples. She is a mother of twins so she brings a whole new level of understanding to your care and your babies care.

Absolutely the overall best.
I was referred to Doctor Pendalebury by friends and actually doctors that I had seen before.Female issues run in my family on both sides and so peri menopause, menopause and post menopause have been very uncomfortable. I left Doctor Pendlebury's office feeling like I finally had someone who understood and could direct me through this roller coaster ride. I am looking forward to my follow up appointment in May after trying new hrt. Thank-you for having me.

Down to Earth and Up to Speed
I just saw Dr. Pendlebury for the first time, for an annual exam. She was lovely: truly compassionate and competent. I feel so fortunate to have found such a caring and capable new ObGyn after my previous one retired. I know I’m in very good hands.

Absolute BEST
I have seen a few different OBGYNs in the Richmond area due to moves and other variables like delivery hospital location when I was having children. I am now in my mid 40s. I have thought highly of all my physicians, but she is by far the best combination of patient, thorough, knowledgeable, skilled, empathetic, and relatable! She is seriously top notch. She provides practical advice and stays up to date on the latest treatments, procedures, and guidance. Almost always on time, great office staff and nurses, cleanliness, the list goes on!
