Dr. Penate is a caring and compassionate doctor. For the first time in my lift I felt like a doctor listened to me and was trying to collaborate with me on my health, rather than lecturing me on my poor habits. I look forward to working with Dr. Penate in the future.

Dr Penate has superior communication and listening skills. He had prepared for this visit. He took time to understand my medical conditions, wellness concerns and efforts as a senior and a gay man, and the circumstances of my life. He answered my questions thoroughly. I learned things about my health and wellness during this visit which I didnt know. Overall I felt heard, understood and valued.
