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.

He is a very kind and knowledgeable doctor. I had special circumstances, and he was careful to follow my wishes as regards my healthcare. I also had post-surgery complications--that weren't his fault--and his office and Grandview were both great in helping me recover. If I ever need laparoscopic surgery again, I will definitely seek his help.

Very good experience. Dr. Pennington was thorough and took the time to pray with me before surgery. I had a quick recovery and he took personal interest in me and my family. Highly recommend. My husband needs an appointment now and his staff has been very kind to tolerate my calling multiple times to move up his appointment in case of a cancellation.
