Brad L Penenberg, MD

People should spend more time researching their Doctor than their next meal.
If you need a hip replacement, stop looking and use Dr. Penenberg.
He is the «Doctor’s Doctor»
My mom is full of nerves, and he told my mom on the first visit «You will have a pleasurable experience» and he lived up to his promise.
My Moms hip surgery was done in less than 2 hours and she was walking the same day, we are now going home on day 2.
The Doctor helped pioneer tools and techniques that make the procedure and recovery significantly faster.
Rarely do you get the intersection of genius, passion and caring … But here it is…

Dr pennenburg is one of the best Dr’s I have ever met he thoughtful, very kind and reassuring and made me feel very positive about my surgery. I had a hip replacement and I was up the same day of the surgery, walking with no pain from my hip the only pain I had was from the surgery and that was expected. If I had to get the surgery again I wouldn’t hesitate and would only go to dr pennenburg wonderful person and dr.

Amazing Doctor…

My orthopedist told me I should have a knee replacement. He no longer did surgery. He told me to make an appointment with Dr. Penenberg and gave my x rays to take across the hall to Dr. Penenberg’s. My appointment was with Dr. Penenberg. I never saw him. A Dr. Boling introduced himself and said even tho’ I brought my x rays he needed new ones. After x rays were taken he started explaining my choices. I
asked when I would see Dr. Penenberg. He said Dr. Penenberg was too busy to see me. But I have an appointment I replied. He told me I could wait, but he said I would have to wait 2 or 3 hours, and even then he still might be too busy and might not be able to see me. I took my xrays and left. I am sooooooooooooo angry…

Dr. Penenberg is amazing! He just did a total knee replacement on me and my mom had a total hip six weeks ago and both of us have had amazing results! I have had so many surgeries and dealt with so many Doctors and procedures and by far he has a caring personality and spends time answering any questions and is very skilled! So blessed we found him!

Dr. Penenberg is the best in his field. I interviewed several doctors before selecting him. He performed two hip replacements within 10 months on me. He was kind, caring, and I had no hip pain immediately after surgery. It was worth waiting 2 hours for my first appointment with him. His receptionist is particularly cold but she’s not doing my surgery.

he ruined 4 years of my life and i had 6 hip dislocations 3 ondeach side after brad did the 2 re-​replacement hips/​/​thanfully i found dr rajan patel who put in hip joints the size of a handball not the nickel size (shown on my xrays penenberg did on both of mine. i was and still am a very active bike rider/​walker and gym goer and dr patel saved my life and my sanity. penenberg also screwed up a friend of nine by he one leg is ¹⁄₃ of an inch shorter due to his screw-​ups. dont use him/​hes an arrogant/​abussive xxxxxxx.
after my last dislocation i called his office almsot 20 times but he never called me back/​thankfully because i found dr rajan patel hwo relized the errors of an active female having small hip joints that kept dislocating/​even on a blind date sitting on a chair in a restaurant

Dr. Peneberg is the best and most knowledgeable Orthopedic Surgeon on the West Coast !
Apart from that, he takes the time to answer every question I have.
He is not only a great surgeon but also a great teacher, explaining everything in a calm and professional manner.
Yes, Greatness is the word that describes him in a nut shell.
I had two hip replacements and I thank God every day for helping me find such a great doctor.
If you want the best, than be happy to wait for him !

I have had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Penenberg and am so blessed that I found him. He treats you as if you are his ONLY concern. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring. He took his time to explain the procedures and put my mind at ease. I would recommend him to anyone who needs their hips or knees replaced. Yes, there is usually a wait in the office but that’s a small price to pay for his expertise.

This review is about the receptionist/​front desk woman at this office. I came with my mother and sat in the waiting room for an hour while she saw the doctor. In that hour, I watched this receptionist treat every single patient so rudely, with zero patience, or respect. I was appalled by her inexcusable level of service and the doctor should be embarrassed to have her on staff.

Dr. Peneneberg is THE PREMIER in his field. There is no one better qualified to do knees and hips.
My mother had hip replacement done in Iran in 1979. There were complications that were addressed in London in 1980, but were never fixed right. Of course she never knew this until years later when she started to have major pains. After consulting with several orthos, we heard everything from «nothing can be done» to «we can TRY to fix it but run the risk of further damaging your bones and causing 1 leg to be longer than the other.» Dr. Penenberg, never once hesitated. The surgery took less time than anticipated, and mom was ready to go home after 3 days. Amazing!
My 80 year old uncle has also done 2 knees with Dr. Pen. Again, great results. As a family we are very happy with Dr. Penenberg as well as the Cedars Sinai Medical Center!
