I have been a patient of Dr. Lee Pennington for many years, and his participation in MDVIP has allowed him to take the time to put patients at ease with his banter and body language that implies that he has all the time in the world to examine you, address your questions and concerns, and provide thoughtful medical care. I like to ask lots of questions and discuss health issues, diagnoses,… See more
Consistently over the past many years Lee Pennington has a wise and educated answer to every question and anticipated the unlikely--even my doc husband was grudgingly appreciative.
Bottom line: when you need a doc, pick the smartest and that is Dr. Pennington.
My wife and I want to thank Dr. Pennington for his steady thoughtful care regarding our various medical issues over lots of years. He has constantly and faithfully been on top of our needs . The instances where Dr. Pennington has helped us are many and varied , one being his quick response to a heart issue that I had late one afternoon . He immediately recognized the severity of the problem,… See more
Dr. Pennington is the best. I want him to never retire. And I could move out of the Bethesda area unless he moves his office to my next city. No matter whether it is "routine" preventive maintenance visits or emergency requests, Dr. Pennington is totally on top of things. His knowledge is amazing...his kindness is ever-present....he is a mystery-solver.... He treats me with… See more
In 2012, I found a small lump under my left armpit. Was going to see him for pre colonoscopy screening and just mentioned it to him not thinking anything about it...With his insight, caring and compassion...I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer...I went thru chemo,bilmastectomies and radiation. I am 8 years in remission and living a wonderful life because of him...THANK YOU❤
I have been a patient of Dr. Pennington for the past 20 or 30 years. He was also the physician who support my Mother. Pennington and I have worked together and all my issues (all of which were minor) were handled by him and his staff with elegance and care. I certainly hope that he will not consider retiring until I am off the map (so to speak).
Lee,
I've been a patient since I first saw you for an FAA medical exam in my 20s. I'm 60 now and can't thank you enough for all the interest and attention you've paid, and expert care you've provided my parents, Carla, and me ever since. We consider ourselves extraordinarily lucky to have crossed paths with you all those many years ago, and I hope we can be… See more
My husband and I have been with Dr. Pennington for a number of years – even before he became MDVIP. He has been a caring and loving doctor. He goes above and beyond. Many of your patients have recommended you as a good doctor. But I am going one step further to recommended you as a great human being. Thank you Dr. P!
