PenniAnn Whitten, MD

On several occasions, I have had the pleasure of working with Vanessa Rodrigues Mendez, one of Dr. Whitten's employees. She is kind, helpful, and tops in her career. She is very skillful in giving injections and drawing blood; I have never experienced anybody who is better at these proceedures. Thank you Vanessa for your superior care! 

We have been with Dr. Whitten since she joined Caring for Families. When we encountered one of those forks in the road to make a choice of doctors, we quickly realized what a wonderful choice we made. Dr. Whitten immediately established a trust and rapport with us. She gave support, caring and interest in her patients' health and lifestyle. We feel most confident in her strength, knowledge and comfort always being there. She's the best! Thank you Dr. Whitten for the dedication you have given to us. We've all received blessings that we must acknowledge and Dr. Whitten is a big part of health, wellness and rewards along the way.

I am 65+ (;) ), and in my life I was a patient of many good doctors in a variety of countries, and under a variety of political systems. All of them (except one >: /) follow the Hippocratic Oath with full heart. Thanks to each of them!
However, my doctor, Dr. PennyAnne Whitten, is the one that I found as a great listener, extremely loyal to her patients, and knowledgeable.

Back in 2018., Dr. Whitten, one of my three doctors that I visited at that time, found that I had valley fiber. Just by carefully and patiently listening to me! Other two doctors recommended me the overcounted allergy medication. The blood test confirmed what Dr. Whitten assumed of. I was already 5 months ill !
Two years ago, I came to my doctor and told her about my uncontrol crying (I am a war survivor) about almost anything (a plant, a dog, a cat, sky, a paper on the road ... especially about past). She knew exactly what to recommend me.... and I wish I talked to her 20 years ago. :)
Just one and half year ago, she found that something is wrong in my heart arteries and sent me to Dr. James Ganem, cardiologist, who sent me to Dr, Darryl Stein, cardiovascular surge...In just 5 (five!) days I had an open heart surgery ( by the way, Dr. Stein was generous - so he gave me 4 bypasses!) .

Without DR. PennyAnne Whitten and the doctors she sent me to, I would not be alive, and would not be able to give you this honest and openhearted story .
Thank you, my dear Doctor!

In March of 2014 I went to my doctor, Dr. P. Whitten, for what I thought was a urinary tract infection. I gave her a urine sample and when it came back clear she did an internal exam. She left the exam room and when she came back she had already made an appointment for Monday with a top oncologist in my area. She found a firm, hard growth near my ovary.
From the time I met with my oncologist to my surgery was five days. I had stage 3C Ovarian Cancer.
After eighteen months of chemo (six via port and - since I have the BRCA gene - a year of a chemo pill for a study), I have been clear of cancer since that time.
I am on social security, but we found the money for the first year, at least, to join MDVIP to be able to stay with her!
I trust her completely with the care of my body and health. My soul? I trust Jesus completely. So I’m well taken care of until my last breath. No meant to be dramatic; it is simply truth.
There re SO many times she has listened intently to me and found why I was feeling the way I was.
I went to her incredibly weak at one appointment. By the time she was finished, she called the hospital telling them I was coming.
After five days of testing, they found my body was incapable of absorbing and retaining B12. Sine then I have given myself an injection to keep this critical vitamin in my body.
I could go on and on, but if you don’t have a Primary Car Physician, call her office and join her MDVIP patient care!
