Following medical school, Dr. Pendley completed his Family Practice Residency in Rome, Georgia (1987–1990), emerging as a board-certified physician through the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).

Today, Dr. Pendley works closely alongside Dr. Laurie Davis, NP, who leads day-to-day patient care. Together, under the umbrella of AlwaysInGoodHealth.com, they offer patients a seamless experience grounded in trust, expertise, and genuine compassion.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Pendley is a devoted husband to Debbie—the love of his life—and a proud father. His focus on health is deeply personal: he wants to be the greatest positive force in his family’s wellbeing so he can enjoy every moment with them.
As Medical Director, Dr. Pendley sets the clinical standard for everything In Good Health does. His oversight ensures that every patient receives care that meets the highest professional and ethical standards.
“Better health for the whole family isn’t just a tagline. It’s a commitment we take seriously with every single patient.”
