Dr Pena is very thorough, listens to me and doesn’t rush out the door….which is VERY important to me. Even if it means waiting for my appt. because he’s seeing other patients. I know he’s very caring and I appreciate that.

He gets to the point and explains himself. If your problem needs a specialist, an order will be wrote up. He cares for his patients.

He has not been on time for my visits recently which is problematic. It has been over an hour each time. 30 min I feel is being flexible, over an hour is poor scheduling and mismanagement on staff time management.

My appointment was for 11am. I was there 15 minutes prior. The staff was helpful and got me checked in and in the room on time. I sat there for over an hour and Dr Peña didn’t show up. The staff, let me know that, while Peña was in the office, there were 2 patients ahead of me. I made sure that I was on time for the appointment and while I understand there can be delays, over an hour is unacceptable when the Dr wasn’t called away for an emergency. I had to leave and reschedule the appointment. My time is just as important as Dr Peña’s.
