Pennington Primary Care

Individual membership starts at $80 per month for patients ages 2 to 64, and $90 per month for patients ages 65 and older. Family subscriptions start at $80 for the first member, $70 for the second, and $30 per additional member. All family members must live in the same household, and families can add up to four additional members. A one-time enrollment fee applies at the time of joining.

The practice does not accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Members pay a flat monthly fee directly to the practice. Dr. Pennington encourages members to maintain health insurance to cover major medical events like hospitalizations and specialty procedures, and she helps patients find coverage combinations that make financial sense.

Membership covers a broad range of primary care services, including general office visits, preventive care, chronic disease management, gynecology, family planning, annual physicals, and work, school, and sports exams. The practice also performs minor in-office procedures like laceration repair, skin abscess drainage, EKGs, strep screens, ear wax removal, and urinalysis at no additional cost. Members also access wholesale-priced generic medications and negotiated cash rates on labs and imaging.

Yes. Members receive Dr. Pennington's mobile number and email address at enrollment. She makes herself available by text, phone, or email seven days a week. That direct access means members can reach her with questions, concerns, or urgent issues without going through a call center or after-hours service.

Pennington Primary Care offers same-day and next-day scheduling. The practice also keeps average wait times to five minutes or less. When you do get in, visits run two to three times longer than a typical primary care appointment, so there is ample time to address your concerns fully.

Yes, the practice offers both. Dr. Pennington conducts telehealth visits, called e-visits, for situations that do not require an in-person exam. She also makes house calls when needed. Members can choose the visit format that works best for their situation.

Pennington Primary Care serves adults and accepts children ages 2 to 22 of enrolled members. The practice does not provide routine vaccinations for young children, so families with young kids should maintain a relationship with a pediatrician for vaccine schedules.

Dr. Pennington limits her panel to approximately 600 patients. That number is well below the 2,000 to 4,000 patients a typical family medicine provider carries. The smaller panel lets her give each member meaningful time and attention at every visit.

Pennington Primary Care coordinates specialist referrals and also offers e-consults with top specialists around the country. Dr. Pennington manages care coordination so members have a knowledgeable advocate helping them navigate specialist relationships and follow-up care.
