My gall bladder had to be removed, so I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. I received all around excellent and supportive care from Dr. Denham and the staff at Evanston Hospital. Thank you for an amazing and encouraging experience.

Had a very straightforward surgery with very few side effects, but more importantly I continue to receive excellent support from his entire team.

I had a slightly tricky diagnosis that was originally missed, but once it was figured out, Dr. Denham was great. He did my surgery and it went very well. Dr. Denham was very kind and reassuring, and he answered all my questions to my satisfaction. My recovery went as well as could be expected. I was very happy overall.

Horrible experience......the first warning should have been a 450lb bariatric surgeon!Overpriced.....ordered unnecessary tests that my insurance would not pay for. No scientific band adjustment resulting in major problems.....avoid this doctor!!!

I had "umbylical" hernia surgery (sewing in of a patch inside belly button, basically). Was nervous, having not had surgery since minor surgery as a child. This is a very nice man and capable doctor. I've already recommended him to others and will continue to do so until I hear something negative. The whole surgical procedure and follow up was fine, in part due to Dr. Denham's manner.
