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 :)
