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.

Dr Penn does not care about his patients.
He leaves his patients in pain and does not care about them. I wish I had never went to him, it was a waist of insurance benefits.

Satisfied
Dr. Pin suggested the typical steps to root out my shoulder issue (MRI, etc) but ultimately supported my desire to try the cortizone shot first. I just had a feeling based on similar past injuries that I just need inflammation control. So far I've avoided a costly MRI and my shoulder has improved significantly (it's only been two days since the shot). If I have one criticism I would say Dr. Pin seemed a bit rushed but I suppose that happens depending on his schedule. His support staff was wonderful!

Great job on my shoulder. Highly recommend.
My shoulder replacement has gone very well. I am very happy that I did get the surgery. Dr. Pinn is very good at this surgery. I highly recommend him for he is very professional and very knowledgeable and very nice person. I had arthritis in my shoulder and pain all the time. Now I am still recovering and pain is very minimal. Thank you Dr. Pinn

Dr. “Pinn” apparently overbooks, reflecting a disregard and disrespect for his patients’ time. Several of us were subjected to lengthy waits. Then, after being shown to a dingy examining room (with no wifi), the long wait continued. I finally left before the doctor made his way around to me. On my previous visit, I was treated by Dr. Pinn’s physician assistant, Jon Schwermer, who couldn’t be troubled to review my recent MRI, instead opting to diagnose my issue from scratch.

Shoulder surgery and repair
A year after slamming into a brick wall, I still could not lift anything with injured arm. I was referred to Dr. Pinn and discovered that beyond some tearing in my rotator cuff, I had severed a muscle connection to my shoulder. Dr. Pinn explained what needed to be done, he told me of his concerns due to my age (62) and the length of time since my accident; he also explained that if I did nothing, I would eventually need a shoulder replacement. Dr. Pinn answered all of my questions and concerns and I decided on the surgery. Dr. Pinn explained in detail the entire procedure and then the recovery expectations. I can not say enough great things about the care I was given on surgery day, and then following the procedure, Dr. Pinn spoke with my husband, explained everything and even had pictures; my husband is very hard to impress, but Dr. Pinn is fantastic in his book. I am 6 weeks into recovery the staff has always been very helpful with any questions I have had! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Caring Professional
Made an appointment with Dr Pin for shoulder/elbow pain. The entire staff was cordial and professional. X-rays we’re taken and reviewed before the Dr came in the exam room. I was seen by Dr Pin within 10 minutes of my scheduled appointment. Dr Pin was very thorough, not at all rushed and answered all of my questions and concerns. His attitude and bedside manner were courteous. If you need a caring Dr for shoulder/elbow issues, I strongly recommend DrPin.

Dr. Pinnamaneni was so caring. He went over the x-rays and explained my options. I would recommend him. I went in for shoulder pain in both shoulders. I was concerned about having to have shoulder replacements as I've already had 4 joint replacements due to arthritis. I got an injection in each shoulder and I can tell it has helped. Thank you to Signature Orthopedics for all your care.
