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.

I would recommend.
I've been a patient of Dr. Penns for 35 years or so, he has never steered me wrong. He always spends as much time as I need and never in a huge rush. I trust him very much and that goes a long way with me. I really believe he cares about me more than just a number. And the office staff are courteous and professional.

Dr. Penn was my doctor in the 70's he delivered my second son in 1975. Dr. Penn was an extremely great dr. I live in Las Vegas now, but my son and I are moving back to Michigan and I am hoping he is accepting new patience and I would love to have him for my doctor. It has been many many years, but I'm sure he is still a great doctor. Etta Pepple

I always show up on time for my appointments with Dr. Penn and usually have to wait 90-120 minutes or more to be seen and get test results. I try to be aware of my own health and ask questions concerning tests and results if I'm unsure of something. Some doctors don't like it when you question them about their methods. Dr. Penn is a nice guy and generally seems concerned about his patient's well-being but he doesn't really explain what's going on with me and seems to get upset if I question him.
