I recently had thyroid surgery with Dr. Pendarvis and couldn't have had a more positive experience from beginning to end. The needle biopsy was done with minimal discomfort and then he explained the results carefully. Surgery went so well and my recovery was very quick, plus my scar is almost invisible. All through the process, he explained what was going on and what to expect. I highly recommend Dr. Pendarvis for your surgical needs.

Dr. Pendarvis performed a total thyroidectomy on me last week. He and his entire staff are excellent. From my first visit to my post op visit today I've had nothing but the best of care. I always go in w/a list of questions and he patiently takes the time to answer them all without trying to rush me out of the office. He explained in detail everything that I could expect before, during and after surgery. He answers questions through my chart very fast and immediately calls you with test results. I would definitely recommend ... read more

Dr Pendarvis did a parathyroidectomy for me several weeks ago, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Parathyroid surgery can be tricky, but he recommended a 4D scan prior to surgery to better locate the gland giving me trouble. The surgery was very easy. Even though it’s only a few weeks out, my incision is healing beautifully, and is almost not even noticeable. Was told prior to surgery he is the “thyroid guru” in this area, and I believe it.

Dr Pendarvis was amazing. He performed a biopsy on my daughter’s thyroid. My daughter was scared. He was so nice and took the time to calm her down and explain everything he was going to do so she felt more comfortable. Unfortunately her nodule was cancerous. Three weeks later I went to him for the same type of biopsy on my thyroid. He spoke to me prior to the procedure because he remembered that my daughter had been there a few weeks before and he wanted me to know that my nodule appeared very different and he thought it wa... read more

Dr. Pendarvis is a very good surgeon. Very friendly, explains things well and lets you what to expect on your surgery. Would most definitely go to him again.

Great doctor, terrific surgeon. Supports patient autonomy by allowing his patients the right to make decisions about their medical care without trying to influence their decision. If your looking for a doctor that listens and provides practical solutions without making you a test monkey in the process.....he is your guy!!! Would use him again EVERY time, hands down!

Dr. Pendarvis performed emergency surgery on me on 11/29/2017. In February, 2019, I saw him again as another incisional hernia had appeared above my belly button. He has done two surgeries on me. He is very thorough and explains what he is going to do. He has great bedside manners; you know he cares about you and does what he can to keep you comfortable. My wife and I know he is an excellent surgeon from our experiences with him.
