Highlights from patients about their experience with this provider:

Did not appreciate when I told the provider, that I was concerned about an increased risk of heart attack due to a recent frequent increase in bpm while resting due to stress/anxiety responses, and she immediately responded, "oh, you're not going to have a heart attack." To which I immediately responded that I agreed to disagree, due to a certain set of personal, and family medical histories, along with a list of contributing factors that increase my personal risk of such medical complications occuring..... I don't appreciate having my concerns brushed off in such a manner, so quickly, by a medical professional who cannot, and should not be, making such promises to any patient. Although she did follow up by ordering a cardio work up, and a halter monitor, and that is appreciated, I shouldn't have to argue my case in such a manner, with my own health history available to that provider through the history given, plus a willingness to answer questions in office as well. I felt she brushed it off as a panic attack and nothing more. And although I do suffer from panic attacks, I have lived with a mitral valve prolapse my entire life, and even offered the provider to sign whatever forms necessary for them to obtain the the pertinent records from my cardiologist, that diagnosed me originally, and I do indeed know the differences, between the two health issues well. It was dismissive and unprofessional behavior on part of the PA, at best. And I will not be seeing her again if at all possible.

Melissa Pennington did an amazing job at making me feel relaxed and comfortable with my situation. I greatly appreciate her non-judgemental time and care that she extended to me.

Dr. Pennington was professional and very easy to talk to.
