Jorge A Pena, MD

During my first pregnancy about 5 years ago dr pena saved my life. I was high risk and known around mercy for the fact that they thought they’d deliver a 30 week baby but under dr penas care I went to 37.5 weeks on bed rest and mostly at home going in to office several times a week. The nurses at mercy made sure to let my family know what I had was leading cause of maternal death and that you never go that long once diagnosed. He kept my son and myself alive and my son was not a nicu baby because of dr penas care. I am now getting close to having my 3^rd c section from a high risk pregnancy and am very comforted in the fact that dr pena is my dr and that I can trust his guidance. As for the office I have had almost nothing but positive things to say since day 1. Very clean and BTW I have never seen the bathroom dirty or understocked. I highly recommend dr pena and office.

Dr Pena has been great dr to help me finally after years of going to other Drs who would not get me answers to any of my concerns. The answer was always I don’t. Know. Dont worry about it. He did 2 simple test and was able to tell me there Emma’s nothing wrong rather than leave me with questions. I’ll continue to see him and feel confident recommending him to others

I have been seeing Dr Pena for years. He delivered both my children. He’s professional and makes you feel comfortable. He has a great beside manner and I trusted him with my life twice and would do it again in a heartbeat ! The office is clean and everyone’s is friendly and welcoming. In my opinion he’s the best in redding !!

Long story short; I needed to be seen for multiple female problems that were causing me great physical and emotional pain and embarrassment. Dr. Pena came highly recommended by a close friend of mine, so I made the decision to put my most personal and private care in his hands… Not the best choice. Here’s a run down on why I will never go back to him.
1. He came into my appointment dressed in expensive designer jeans (you know the kind with studs and bedazzled back pockets) and a low v neck cut shirt embellished with velvet and glitter… Was this casual Tuesday? Or is he on his way to the club after my 9:30am appointment? Very unprofessional if you ask me. The LAST thing I want my male gynecologist wearing into my appointment is street clothes, let alone clothes like he’s purposely trying to make a different kind of impression on all his female clients (do you get my drift?)
2. He made me feel inferior and that I didn’t know my body. Um hello? I’ve had this body my whole damn life, I know it better than any doctor, I don’t care how many women you’ve seen or been with. You don’t know me. I came to him with concerns and he made me feel like a stupid little girl in turn. Throughout our short time together I expressed things to him that I haven’t even asked my own mother about, and instead of suggesting solutions he said it’s all psychological and I’m imagining it… Excruciating pain in my uterus and uncontrollable 6+ month long menstruations, hair loss, anemia, blood clots, psychological right? Compassion is not in his vocabulary.
3. The Office staff is the fake kind of sweet that makes you sick to your stomach. While signing in, I witnessed the second dr in the practice (dr. Mooney) come up very closely behind a med assistant and rub her shoulders and whisper in her ear as she giggled and he touched her hair. This may be normal day to day business for them, but I found it all really creepy and inappropriate.
4. Restroom was filthy; water all over the floor, no toilet paper, no paper towels on the three times I visited this office.
In general Dr Pena deserves one star, the second star is for Hahn Cline his PA. I saw her once after my initial visit with Pena, liked her very much and would give her alone more stars. The overall unprofessional atmosphere and creepy inappropriate sexual vibes from the doctors will keep me away for life.

Run away fast! This doctor seemed to be fine for the first few months, but in fact he is scary and should not be in practice. He is fine as long as you don’t have any complications he had a decent bed side manner until he was faced with a technical problem. His social skills are nice but his doctor skills are a 0! I told Dr. Pena I was having trouble when I was pregnant and he told me it was in my head and didn’t do any appropriate testing. He said, «Oh, you are just being pregnant.» I ended up losing the baby all because he was too arrogant to do his job properly. The baby’s life would have been saved if he would have done a simple test. I would recommend Dr. Perry at Mercy family health where you can get a doctor with brains and stellar social skills.

That’s not the correct address… in case you don’t know. He’s on Sonoma Street.
The best OB/​GYN! in Redding, CA.
He’s very friendly and takes the time to listen to your concerns. Each of his exam rooms had a different theme. His staff are very friendly and have got me in on an emergency.
