Penman Emily MD

Dr. Emily Penman needs to find another career. Teaching maybe, but not surgery. I had a questionable mammogram in 2014. She did the initial biopsy and did a good job. Stage 1 breast cancer, got it all. Followed up with lumpectomy, just to be sure. All good. March 18^th things went weird. Suppose to get started on radiation, instead had another mammogram, then biopsy, then was told needed mastectomy, and RIGHT AWAY! ‘Right away’ made no sense. Breast cancer not that kind of cancer. Penman did not have time to see me to discuss, but John Hopkins did. I still have both breasts, and am cancer free, thanks to John Hopkins; no thanks to Penman. No one at John Hopkins could understand why a mastectomy, or why an MRI wasn’t done prior to. Stay away from Penman and the Helen Graham Breast Center if you to keep your breast. With John Hopkins and UPenn so close, why risk it?

First allow Me to say the last few weeks have waived heavy on My Spirit & mind. Route mammogram showed something which needed to be revisited. Next step a Ultrasound, to get a better look. Next thing I know I’m scheduled for a biopsy. Didn’t have a breast doctor & Emily Penman was able to see me within 3days. For that I was greatful. My appointment approached fast & I was in the office with my new doctor. She was kind, gentle, showed compassion. Told me she wasn’t over concerned but I was,.while having the biopsy she kept asking was I okay. And telling me I was doing a great job. The whole time the technician held my hand. So from start to finish they made me feel they cared about me. Next stop 6days later. The results. Dr Penman came into the room where my son & I were waiting. And said I told you I wasn’t overly concerned. I jumped off that table & hugged her So tight. And she smiled & hugged me back… Thank you for everything Emily Penman. I will tell everyone that you Rock!!! God bless You & your staff!!! Michelle Brown. Right in time for the 4^th of July holiday! God is Good! All the time!

Went to Penman a few years ago for a biopsy concerning an unusual lump in my breast. The first appt pre-​biopsy she struck me as quick and impersonal. The biopsy itself went fine, staff seemed nice. The post-​biopsy appt was super quick, like she was in a hurry. Told me pretty much you’re fine, nothing wrong, and go on get out of here, like I was wasting her time. Maybe I was fine and it turned out to be benign, but I felt dismissed and treated in a very impersonal, rude, and disrespectful way. It would be different if I had detected a look of humor on her face or tone of humor in her voice, but I didn’t at all. I felt uncomfortable and bad during and after that appt that day. I vowed never to go back to her. New mammo/​ultrasound this year for another reason, and I am trying a new doctor elsewhere. Hoping to be treated better this time around. If I am, will stick with them, but you can be sure I will never see Penman again by choice. Also look her up on
