Dr. Sarah Penzel is our new family physician. After being with our previous family doctor for 17+ years, we were concerned that we wouldn't find another as excellent as she was. However, we feel Dr. Penzel is a fantastic replacement for us! Attentive, knowledgeable and thorough along with her marvelous personality has made her an excellent choice for our family! Thank you Dr. Penzel for being such a wonderful doctor!

I was so nervous because I had to find a new primary after mine retired, but Sarah was the BEST. So nice and helpful. I didn’t feel rushed at all

Dr. Penzel was wonderful. I am a new patient and have many medical problems. I take over 20 medications and have had numerous surgeries. Dr. Penzel was thorough in her review of my records, addressed my immediate concerns, and was quick to refer me to specialists for complete follow up. I will definitely continue to see her as my general practice doctor. My wife is setting up an appointment to become one of her patients also.
