Patty the front desk lady is rude to the core and will never actually let you leave a voicemail or message for the doctor. I have had some financial issues and could not afford the ride to my appointment and was told in the beginning that I could do video visits. She then called and said no that’s not gunna work, my circumstances didn’t matter to them but probably mostly patty I will never go back there because the customer service is awful when you are dealing with someone like that. Patty is an old miserable person that fe... read more

This Doctor is a Quack. He is unfamiliar with all of the latest papers on Detox medicine, and tried to detox me, a patient on a drug you can die from in withdrawal, Benzodiazapines, I was on it for 35 years, it's taken me 6 months to detox down 66%, I get referred to this doctor and he wants to detox the final 33% in 5 days!!!! He almost killed me, I ended up in Atrial Fibrillation, which means ER, they put you under, stop and restart your heart into a normal Rythmn. Just stay away from this doctor, I know more about the pub... read more
I'm the wife of the over 70 yr old patient. Dr. Penunuri was gracious and kind and interested and thoughtful and I can't say enough good about him AND his new staff!! VERY helpful and kind and professional. Everything was great. prompt, (we had an appt - received immediately and began intake. ) Thrilled to have had the opportunity to be cared for by this team. I'm recommending Dr. Penunuri and his staff to everyone! A true professional!
Excellent Staff are all very kind and professional wait time was not long at all
Dr. Penn is a amazing Dr. he has a vast knowledge in depression, chemical dependency and gleaner all health conditions. My family and myself have been patients for over 25 yers
While Dr. P is a great Doctor, the same cannot be said for his office staff. They are rude, unprofessional(Hippa violations from loud conversations about patients), and need to be better trained in their jobs. Make sure you check your claims with your insurance to see what you should actually be paying as a co-pay.
Dr Penunuri is wonderful! Attention to detail, listens and is a marvelous diagnostician. That said, his office staff, manager are Horrendous! After 14 years, I just could not justify going there any longer. The manager is rude, petty and not interested in client services.
The office is horrible!! Never returns my calls impossible to work with. I have to drive there and show up to schedule an appointment. I am switching to a new doctor I am beyond fed up.
