March 11, 2026Theresa C.Verified patient
I haven’t posted a review before especially about doctors or within the medical sphere but I felt strongly compelled to do so for Dr. Carlyn Penwell. She was so kind and attentive, even asking at the end of my appointment if there was anything else I wanted to share and I felt comfortable enough to share some details that I hadn’t done before with my previous doctors. I can’t express enough how pleasant my appointment was and how easy going and how soothing her energy was! Highly recommend :)

Carlyn had an amazing bedside manner and was very attentive. She was thorough and detailed and addressed all my concerns. She provided information that is relevant to my health currently as well as information, etc. to consider for the near future. I also had virtually no wait time. Carlyn and the rest of the team was polite and exercised wonderful bedside manners and just customer service, generally. I very much intend to return and would recommend Carlyn!

10/10 experience. Everyone was so friendly and created an inclusive environment. My provider was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and my pelvic exam & Pap smear was a breeze.

I have seen Carlyn for the last 2 of my annual visits and she’s wonderful. I really appreciate the way she speaks and is very down to earth, provides comfort, and overall great.
October 17, 2025Ameera H.Verified patient
Dr Carolyn is one of the most knowledgeable doctors I have spoken to. She took her time and listened to my concerns fully before even bringing up a diagnosis. She listed possible diagnoses and tested for all of them even though she was sure it was a specific one. I love how I didn’t feel rushed at all and was comfortable throughout the appointment.
October 17, 2025Initials hidden
Dr. Penwell was amazing, it was my first time ever going to the OBGYN for a papsmear, I was so anxious. She was a great listener and she talked me through each step to make me feel comfortable. The front desk and medical assistant are very kind and patient too. <3 thank you
