Dr. Robert C. Pennington

I enjoy meeting my patients, learning their story and helping them feel better. I pride myself on being a good father, husband, friend and physician. My favorite things to do on the weekend include playing with my sons, drinking wine with my wife, grilling out, working in my yard, eating seafood, watching football and going to church.

"I have been a practicing physician for more than 15 years, with experience in both hospital medicine and primary care. My idol and mentor is my uncle, who practiced in rural Hungary for over three decades. He was loved and respected by his community as he built personal relationships and friendships with every family he treated over many years. Spending a lot of summers with him while I grew up made me realize that medicine was the profession I needed to choose. My philosophy of ""listen to what your patient is telling you"" has been proven very effective in getting to the diagnosis fast and efficiently. I enjoy helping people and getting to know the whole person, as people are different and treatment needs to be individualized. I am happily married with five kids (four grown up) and enjoy outdoor activities including hiking, farming and traveling.".

I have been very fortunate to get to know my patients well and follow them over time. The most rewarding part of my job is having a connection with my patients and being a part of their lives. I enjoy helping people set health goals and working together to achieve them. Outside of work I enjoy judging figure skating, watching Duke basketball, and most of all participating in my two son’s school and extracurricular activities.
