Dr Dennis is an excellent doc! I have very complex medical history with infection in my spine. Took time to listen and then gave me best and safest surgical options for treatment.

He did not pay attention to what I said about my conditions. I found him distracted. When he asked me a couple of questions and I went into detail he said he needed to see other patients. I understood, however some patients have more than one issue at hand and he seemed not to want to address any thing more than giving me a SCS. When I pushed a little further on my other issue he suggested a couple of PET scans. He did not explain anything about the PET or why. I just left him to go and attend to his other patients.
