A Great experience. The Dr and both staff members I had interaction with were very cordial and met all expectations. I feel Dr Pinnell leaves more time to ask questions and generally leaves me time to ask as well than my previous medical expert interactions.
02/24/2024
I do not anticipate needing another surgery, however if I did require one I will be returning to Dr Pinnell
02/16/2024
Dr. Pinnell was awesome! He made me feel very comfortable & seen! He listened, asked questions & explained himself well. I appreciate his compassion & his willingness to help me especially with my insurance being so difficult about the medication. Highly recommend him to friends and family
02/16/2024
The staff was awesome, especially Autumn. She & Dr. Pinnell both have some of the best "bedside manners" & really come across caring. Insurance has been frustrating to deal with for the medication I need & they both have been incredibly helpful. I feel seen & cared for. They also communicate quickly when I've emailed Autumn about the medication issues with my insurance which stood out to me compared to other Dr.'s offices. Fantastic experience so far & I will highly recommend to friends & family
02/16/2024
Autumn is fabulous! She goes above & beyond & is friendly & efficient.
02/14/2024

He goes above and beyond for his patients and I love it. I have referred a lot of people to him. He has inspired me to help others and look more into bariatrics. Thank you always Dr Pinnell it's definitely love my way. Thank you for all you have done.
