Dr. Carolyn Renee Dennehey, MD

When first diagnosed about 3.5 years ago, I first saw DR Dennehey. What a kind and concerned Dr. She new the pain I was having and was dedicated to making that pain and future pain go away.. What a good life I have had since meeting her. Am so sorry she has moved to Reno, because i miss her a great deal. Tony Rishe

Switching rheumatologists could have been very stressful for me. But after my first visit I felt very comfortable with the office and the doctor. I called in with a question and actually had the doctor personally call me back. You don't find that very often anymore. I'm very thankful I was referred to this office by my retiring rheumatologist, Dr Steven Atcheson.

I was referred to Dr Dennehey in which I had a good meeting with her at first. She wanted me to do more blood work and X-rays to see what was going on with my body. I never spoke to her again! She Never got back to me on any results. I had to do all the calling to see if she got the results back along with my x-rays. Delt with the nurse practioner who was AMAZING.. But still no diagnosis.. 3 weeks have gone by and I finally picked up my papers to see someone else. You would think that once the results were in she would have called to go over them with you to explain what you have and make a plan.. Never happened Then when reading through my paperwork she said I had cervical cancer... I've never had cervical cancer.. I would go see someone who takes your health seriously!!!!

So far seems very thorough, does't make me feel like a burden. It's nice to have a dr. take what you say serious and not blow you off, it's a much faster way to solve the problem too!

Dr. Dennehey really takes the time to get to know her patients. She is very patient with me and listens toy concerns about pain/new meds. I always recommend her to people. I never have to wait long in the office for my appointments, or for a return call when I call the office. Dr. Dennehey has gotten me through some really tough patches with my RA, she is pretty great!

45 minute wait in the waiting room. Dr. Dennehey was less than warm and caring. She gave me the impression that she really wasn't interested in the medical problem I was experiencing. She came highly recommended by my physician. Maybe I caught her on a bad day. That should not excuse her for making me feel like I was wasting her time with.

She didn't take the time to look over medications my husband was taking or his history and prescribed him the highest dosage of a medication that gave him a seizure. When she was made aware of the situation, she had no remorse, apology or compassion about the situation.

I have nothing but good things to say about this doctor. My primary care doctor, Arfan Din, could not seem to figure out what my medical issue was. Six months, a CT scan, two ultrasounds and numerous blood tests later, I was referred to Dr. Dennehey. She requested the correct tests on the first visit and correctly diagnosed my medical condition immediately. Thank you Dr. Dennehey. I am FINALLY back on the road to good health!

Dr. Dennehey has been extremely helpful with my diagnosis. After a very debilitating health issue Dr. Dennehey has helped me get back to work and enjoy my home life again. She is extremely knowledgeable and knew right away how to treat me and has been keeping a close eye on me for the two years that I have been seeing her. She is always responsive when I call with questions and knows what questions to ask me to get me the correct treatment. I had suffered for 1 1/2 with my illness and my previous doctors were not able to help me with the pain and symptoms I was dealing with. Dr. Dennehey knew right away how to treat my symptoms. I have been able to get off a number of my medications with her assistance. I am truly grateful to Dr. Dennehey.

This Dr. has been a blessing in my health care. She has shown me remarkable knowledge, compassion and determination to understand my symptoms. Even when I would test neg. she kept chipping away until I was diagnosed. I have never felt rushed and she will return phone calls if needed. She has always given me alternative choices when possible; is open to allowing people to have some say in their own care. I really respect that! She has spotted other health concerns and has encouraged me to follow-up and it was a blessing! I can not say enough that would express my gratitude to this fine doctor. I travel from Chico, CA. to her office because I can not get this expertise in Chico. Her assistant is so efficient, he is amazing. Insurance: Anthem
