Dr. Denning is an exceptional doctor with experience and vast knowledge of pediatrics and pediatric emergency. I have 3 children that visit this office and I am always extremely satisfied every time we visit or call. He has saved me many trips to the emergency room. I have called his office at all hours day and night. He has not tried to throw every drug in the book at me when I bring in a sick child, which I greatly appreciate. Dr. Denning is kind and genuinely concerned about his patients. I know that my children are getting the best care with him. Very efficient and caring staff. I highly recommend Dr. Denning as a pediatrician!

You know how doctors usually ask "do you have any questions" at the end of a visit... Dr. Gene Denning has never been capable of answering one. He seemed clueless anytime I asked a question and answerd in a very vague manner. The main thing I am dissatisfied with is that he forced me to immunize my children with additional vaccines. Even the school nurse asked me why my daughter had them done. I feel terrible for bringing my kids there. FYI he's a creep too!

Practices good medicine. I trust his judgement. Kids have been going to him since birth. Always can fit you in. Wait is never too long. Dr. Russell and Dr. Denning are good doctors.

Wonderful staff and doctors! I highly recommend this office. Front office staff recognizes myself and my children by name. They are professional and always polite. Doctors are wonderful. They take their time with each patient and listen to the patient. I appreciate the doctors speaking directly to my children and looking at me for confirmation. WE LOVE THIS OFFICE!!!
