Philosophy of Care

Having epilepsy can be a burden far beyond the seizures themselves, and I strive to support and advocate for my patients along their medical journeys. I aim to build strong partnerships with my patients’ families by truly listening to their concerns and ensuring a good understanding of treatment plans throughout our discussions. I feel privileged that families put their trust in me and I work hard to help my patients achieve their greatest potential.

She is great, informative, and passionate doctor. We love her. Thank you.
I felt that Dr. Penn was very organized, very professional, very thorough. She explained everything very clearly and in as much detail as I needed it, and she was very receptive to any questions I had. And I just really think that she is a great fit for us, and it's been some time since I have felt that way about a neurologist. So I am very happy with Dr. Penn, and I have nothing but positive things to say about her.
Dr. Penn was very informative with my daughter who was very nervous and scared. So we are very happy with our visit with her and would love to see her again in the future.
Great jobs thanks again
I really liked the doctor's kindness. She treated us very nicely and kindly.
