Dr. Jack Penner

I was born and raised in Los Gatos, CA, and completed my undergraduate studies at Santa Clara University, where I played water polo and majored in public health sciences. While I considered pursuing a career in public health, my passion for one-on-one relationships with patients led me to pursue a medical degree. After a brief stint on the East Coast for medical school at Georgetown University, I returned to the Bay Area for residency in internal medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). I completed both my residency and chief residency at UCSF before joining the faculty, during which time I had the privilege of caring for patients, teaching medical students and residents, and conducting research on clinical decision-making and teaching. After several years in the academic setting, I longed for a more personalized, hands-on approach to patient care—one that allows me the time and space to truly get to know my patients, their concerns, and their priorities––which led to the founding of Kuros Medical. Whether you’re focused on reducing your risk of heart disease, Alzheimer’s, or cancer, staying active and independent as you age, or being able to swim and hike with your kids on the next family vacation, I’m thrilled to welcome you to the practice and work with you in navigating how to live your fullest, healthiest life possible.
