Dr. Pennington and Dr. Butler did a total knee replacement on my right knee approximately 15 years ago and I am still kicking! Dr. Pennington has done numerous knee surgeries for me and I would recommend him to anyone. He Is not only an excellent surgeon but just a nice guy which is rare among surgeons! Easy to talk to, and understands the pain you’re going through.

EXTREMELY pleased with the experience, from the original Dr visit that provided him enough information (MRI, x-rays, prior office visit with his assistant ) to determine the need for the reverse shoulder replacement. The surgery date was set within five weeks (conveniently in consideration of my vacation schedule), excellent communication prior to surgery including pre-surgery training session, ordering the necessary rehab equipment, phone contact with the surgery nurse advocate, and discussion with the DR just prior to and following surgery. Now in physical therapy with great progress. A VERY

Dr Pennington released me after I was still in a lot of pain and discomfort. I could not move my shoulder half as good as my other one. On my last appointment he had no intention of listening to my concerns or what my PT professional suggested to have more rehabilitation. I would never suggest anyone going to this doctor. I had to get a second opinion by another orthopedic surgery who agreed I needed more rehabilitation per the request Of my PT suggested. Thankfully another doctor listen to my concerns and is willing to help me getting back to normal.

I am celebrating my 5th year of total recovery from extreme shoulder pain. Dr. Pennington did an excellent job with my shoulder replacement. I was faithful with my icing and exercise as directed, and was back playing tennis in 6 weeks. I have not experienced any pain since my operation 5 years ago. I highly recommend Dr. Pennington.
