Patient Comments
I always receive timely, friendly, and thorough care with Dr Pentland and her staff.
May 10, 2024
The only problem I had was hearing the staff including the doctor behind their masks. Wanted them to be aware to speak up.
Jan 17, 2024
Dr. Pentland comes across as very caring and very "human". I always enjoy seeing her.
Dec 29, 2023
Dr. Pentland is a wonderful doctor. She listens to my concerns and develops a plan of care that fits my needs.

Aug 22, 2023
Both Dr. Pentland and Dr. Montoya were very considerate, very caring, and very thorough. Excellent medical experience.
Apr 28, 2023
She got rid of the rare condition I had.
Apr 27, 2023
Dr Pentland and her staff have been very open to discussions about my care and treatment and communicate very well with us. I would be lost without this staff!
Mar 14, 2023
[...] Thankfully I got a second opinion from the second dermatologist Dr. Penland. She seem to thoroughly listen to me, Inspect my toe & looked at my pics which resulted in a plausible conclusion to my issue. [...] but hopefully I was correctly diagnosed.
Feb 24, 2023
Dr. Pentland and her staff are always thorough and reassuring.
Feb 24, 2023
I was not given treatment options beyond the plan that we ended up going through with. I was told briefly what the plan was and then immediately told to begin prepping. I was not given time to consider if this was the best option for me and my life. [...] I was not given a clear set of instructions and left feeling confused about what to do next and when I could return to normal activities.
Feb 18, 2023
Good
Jan 14, 2023
I have consistently been impressed with all aspects of my dealings with Dr. Pentland.
