I expressed fear and anxiety over the level of pain involved in my procedure. Dr Pendegrass listened to my concerns genuinely and helped (via medications) to make this a smooth and comfortable process.

The doctor got me in the next day for somewhat of a medical emergency. She is very busy so I greatly appreciated her time. The medical assistant is always the same and I feel well taken care of. This is a great provider and I hope she remains my doctor for many years to come.
