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.

Excellent physician/surgeon. Always takes the time to listen and never rushes through the visit. I highly recommend Dr. Denis.

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.
