Pam was great. Thank you.
Dr Pentin is in a league of her own. In all my yr's of seeing Dr's, she is truly the very 1st Dr that not only listens to me but she also is very dedicated to seeking out what my health issues are and she won't stop till she finds a direction to go in that will make my life more manageable. She is very intelligent and always seeking knowledge. It's like she's on a mission just for me. You can't imagine what and how grateful I am that Dr Pentin came into my life. She's very concerned about the high use of opioids that are being given to patients these days, especially the older patients like me. She is spot on and she is 100% correct that their is great concern. She not only is concerned about me but all patients. Today their are many med choices that are safer to take and will help people who have chronic pain like mine without the use of opioid and/or should she find an opioid is needed. Rest assured she will only feel comfortable writing a script in small qty with the understanding it is to be used ONLY IF NEEDED. She's the best Dr Ever
Dr. Pentin is attentive and caring. She's a great teacher too.
I love this physician. She is skilled, kind, caring, and always includes me and discusses/explains her rationale for suggestions/decisions made. I feel like I have her complete focus whether it's an in persons or telehealth visit. It is so hard to find a physician who can be trusted with my best interests. She's wonderful.
Very attentive, caring and direct!

Dr Pentin is truly amazing and cares for my complete overall care. Even if I'm seen in a speciality clinic, she checks in to be sure I'm satisfied w/ services and provides advocacy for my care.
