I'd love to recommend Dr. Penate because I believe he does a great job. I don't want to recommend Dr. Penate because he would become too popular and it would be more difficult to get an appointment!

Our first meeting. He spent a full hour becoming familiar with my health over the past 40 or so years. I feel positive that he will step into the role of my internist, defined with passion and expertise by Dr Bob Lenet until he retired 3/31/2022. A potentially difficult transition, Dr. Penate was sensitive to that transition and even schedule a follow up blood panel in Aug/Sept to aggressively monitor my cholesterol!
