I have had a lot of PCP’s and Dr. Pena was the best. Quick and efficient but still got to know me. She always had a smile on her face, and I always appreciate that.

Honestly, the best doctor I’ve ever been to. When you are a person of color (in my case black) you wonder if a doctor will take the time to actually listen to you. Dr. Pena not only listened but she was kind, respectful, and efficient. The best doctor’s experience I’ve ever had in my life.

Dr. Pena was excellent! She was about 20 minutes late, but apologized profusely and said that she thought someone from the office called me. She was thorough and even followed up with me via the patient portal when my lab results came back. I was impressed and will be visiting her again.

On-time, friendly, and personable! She was knowledgable about my concerns, but also aware of her limitations and when it would make sense to engage other more specialized physicians. Her front office staff was also very friendly when they called to confirm my appointment and collect my insurance information. I'm glad to have found a new doctor!

Excellent physician!

Dr. Pena was very friendly and understanding. She listened to all of my concerns and helped with referrals within my new network. She also took the fact that I am high risk for COVID seriously and made me feel comfortable moving forward with bloodwork and x-rays by giving options for lower trafficked locations. Highly recommend.
