David L. Penner, MD, FACS

I provide a whole-person care approach to my patients while focusing on skillful care of their specific surgical needs.  

 

Becoming a surgeon allows me to connect with people during times of life which are often stressful and uncertain.  The physician-patient relationship is very meaningful to me and is the primary reason I became a doctor.

Special Clinical Interests: Thoracic Oncology, Benign Thoracic Surgery, Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery

 

Personal Interests: Skiing, wakeboarding/wakesurfing, small-boat sailing, playing the cello, spending time with family
