Dr. Pendleton was very knowledgeable, courteous and efficient

May 7, 2025

Everyone did excellent from the receptionist to the medical assistant, nurses, everyone. They were amazing. I would recommend it to everyone. I mean, I would recommend it to anyone. It was just a great experience. Very well hospitality. It definitely was the best doctor's office I've ever been in.

Dr. Pendleton did not take time with my daughters appointment. He speed talked and rushed through it. Barely let me answer the questions HE asked me. He contradicted everything her MRIs and xrays said. I do not trust his opinion and will be going to another pediatric orthopedic surgeon for a 2nd opinion. I have never been so infuriated and this annoyed by someone of his profession. I did let the office staff know that I was not happy with him and I would be getting a 2nd opinion.

April 27, 2025

I've recommended two people to doctor Pendleton for knee issues. He's first class.

April 23, 2025

Dr Pendleton was very empathetic and personable with my 16 year old son. I trust him to do his very best to help my boy heal and return to playing the sports he loves.

The doctor was great! The office itself looked so gross and nasty from the lobby to the rooms and for that we will not be back

April 5, 2025

My appointment was at 3pm with a 2:45pm arrival time. By 3pm I was roomed and my son had his xray. The doctor didn't come into my room until 3:45pm. Waiting for 45 minutes with a toddler is very difficult. It would have been nice if a staff member would have gave me an update regarding my wait time. The doctor did apologize for my wait but the appointment felt very rushed due to him being so behind. I had more questions but was so ready to go that I did not bother to ask.

March 17, 2025

Dr was very down to earth and personable with my son which was great!

March 13, 2025

Dr. Pendleton is so knowledgeable and honest and takes as much time as needed to answer all questions concerning my child. I left feeling very confident that we had received the very best care and advice.

Dr. Pendleton was great with our son he answered all questions gave a diagnosis and treatment plan.

February 16, 2025

I believe the biggest part of me not feeling trust with the doctor is that he continued to communicate that my daughter's issue was not his area of expertise. But yet and still, he continued to proceed with suggestions. Despite my questions & concerns he persisted with his stance on treatment and his bed side manner was zero. With pediatric patients it's definitely important to listen to the parents .

I asked for the practitioner and did not get the practitioner, which my daughter felt very comfortable with. When we arrived and found out that that was not who we requested, they told us that he is very highly asked for and so they didn't give us who we wanted. And the doctor who we saw was very impatient and he was in a hurry and did not help my daughter. And I felt very uncomfortable paying for a service that I, first of all, did not ask for. I wanted to see someone else and did not see them.

November 6, 2024

5

From the front office where we checked in to the nurses, to the doctor himself, everyone was great, the doctor explained everything well. And when we had lab tests run, he called himself the next day and told me what the results of the lab work was and I'm very pleased with this doctor and his staff.

October 30, 2024

Doctor too forever to come see us, then spoke a million miles an hr, didn't even sit and I barely got a chance to ask any questions. He seemed in such a rush to get out of our room, which considering how long we had waited was extremely rude and unexpected. I didn't appreciate that. I would suggest not cramming so many patients into one day!

This was our third orthopedic doctor we have seen for my daughter's injury. It's very difficult to figure out exactly what to do to help her recover back to where she was previously. We feel very comfortable and confident in Dr Pendleton to move forward with surgery and his team providing the best possible care and outcomes.

I believe the biggest part of me not feeling trust with the doctor is that he continued to communicate that my daughter's issue was not his area of expertise. But yet and still, he continued to proceed with suggestions. Despite my questions & concerns he persisted with his stance on treatment and his bed side manner was zero. With pediatric patients it's definitely important to listen to the parents .

I asked for the practitioner and did not get the practitioner, which my daughter felt very comfortable with. When we arrived and found out that that was not who we requested, they told us that he is very highly asked for and so they didn't give us who we wanted. And the doctor who we saw was very impatient and he was in a hurry and did not help my daughter. And I felt very uncomfortable paying for a service that I, first of all, did not ask for. I wanted to see someone else and did not see them.

From the front office where we checked in to the nurses, to the doctor himself, everyone was great, the doctor explained everything well. And when we had lab tests run, he called himself the next day and told me what the results of the lab work was and I'm very pleased with this doctor and his staff.

Doctor too forever to come see us, then spoke a million miles an hr, didn't even sit and I barely got a chance to ask any questions. He seemed in such a rush to get out of our room, which considering how long we had waited was extremely rude and unexpected. I didn't appreciate that. I would suggest not cramming so many patients into one day!

This was our third orthopedic doctor we have seen for my daughter's injury. It's very difficult to figure out exactly what to do to help her recover back to where she was previously. We feel very comfortable and confident in Dr Pendleton to move forward with surgery and his team providing the best possible care and outcomes.

My appointment was at 3pm with a 2:45pm arrival time. By 3pm I was roomed and my son had his xray. The doctor didn't come into my room until 3:45pm. Waiting for 45 minutes with a toddler is very difficult. It would have been nice if a staff member would have gave me an update regarding my wait time. The doctor did apologize for my wait but the appointment felt very rushed due to him being so behind. I had more questions but was so ready to go that I did not bother to ask.

The doctor was great! The office itself looked so gross and nasty from the lobby to the rooms and for that we will not be back

I've recommended two people to doctor Pendleton for knee issues. He's first class.

Dr. Pendleton did not take time with my daughters appointment. He speed talked and rushed through it. Barely let me answer the questions HE asked me. He contradicted everything her MRIs and xrays said. I do not trust his opinion and will be going to another pediatric orthopedic surgeon for a 2nd opinion. I have never been so infuriated and this annoyed by someone of his profession. I did let the office staff know that I was not happy with him and I would be getting a 2nd opinion.
