    Excellent doctor who listens carefully and provides thoughtful and attentive professional medical care. Fortunate to have her as a provider, especially in a state with a shortage of providers.

    Dr. Pena is outstanding in the patient care she provides. She has much experience to draw from and knows the best next steps, but she also educates the patient and lets them decide so they are vested in the process and outcomes.

    Dr Pena should learn to educate her patients in the policy and procedures if she expects us to follow them. She should have communicated with me that I need to reschedule my appointment to get my medicine and she shouldn't treat patients who are genuinely trying to feel better as if they just are seeking medication. After my appointment with her I have decided to leave the university. I've been a patient for 39 years given birth with in this hospital and have a cardiologist at the cardiovascular center. She is a horrible doctor.

    It was clear that Dr Peña had familiarized herself with my medical history before my visit and therefore was able to discuss my health concerns and possible solutions with clarity. She seemed to take her profession seriously and actually made me feel that my health was her priority.
