Atrium-Navicent is a 630-bed tertiary care center and Georgia’s only nationally-recognized level 1 trauma center. Dr. Penn was drawn here by the excellent group that he has joined but also a wide array of surgical subspecialists, treatment of patients with complex disease states, and the active research community.

Dr. Penn attended medical school and completed an Internal Medicine residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. At MUSC exposure to several well-known advanced endoscopists led him to his choice of subspecialty training. His fellowship training was at the University of Florida, Gainesville. His most recent accomplishments include becoming a procedural trainer and national speaker for TIF (Endogastric Solutions), being invited to contribute data to the AGA's endoscopic suturing registry, endoscopic pyloromyotomy for gastroparesis, and adoption of endomicroscopy for more accurate assessment of Barrett's Esophagus and pancreatic cystic lesions.
