About Dr. Pencek
Dr. Pencek is board certified in internal medicine. She started Hometown Health because she wanted more for her patients and herself, and because patients wanted more from their doctors. She wants to hear patients' concerns and partner with them on long-term lifestyle changes.
She believes most patients would rather improve their health than wait for an illness to develop. Her focus is disease prevention through evidence-based lifestyle medicine and finding the root cause of an illness. Hometown Health is a membership-based direct primary care practice.
She keeps a small panel of patients so she can learn each person's goals and values. Appointments run 30 to 60 minutes and feel relaxed and unhurried. Members can reach her by call or text, and she also offers in-person visits and video chats.
She is a runner and a book lover.
