    Dr. Pence is an excellent physician. She always is up to date on her records of my health but up to date on my oncologists records of my health. She asks great questions and is willing to get me to the right doctor for issues that I might have. She is responsible for getting my diagnosis of Follicular Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma as quickly as possible once I had symptoms. Great doctor.

    Dr. Pence is the best. I've gone to her for many years and would have no other Primary Provider. I actually did just recommend her to a friend! And also to my sister! She delivered one of my grandsons! She Is always on top of mammogram, colonoscopy, bloodwork, medications, etc. She has sent me to some fantastic specialists when needed. Love her.

    Ms. Pence was phenomenal. However, the admin staff, scheduling & the lab tech are why we will no longer be utilizing Oaklawn as a provider for [NAME]. The communication between departments provided a poor demonstration of competency & confidence we would receive adequate care.

    Dr. Pence Is absolutely wonderful. She takes a generous amount of time to listen to all of my concerns and makes me feel truly heard and cared for. I never feel rushed, and she explains everything clearly and thoughtfully. I deeply appreciate her professionalism, compassion, and the genuine attention she gives during my visits. It makes such a difference to feel that my questions and health matter to her.
