Had Dr Dennison for my 2nd knee replacement after I moved into the area. Saw him this time for hip issues. He took the time to explain the findings on the X-rays and give me my options (not many). He did not push surgery explaining that it would be my call as to if and when I decided to have a replacement. Going to try physical therapy first.

Every appointment I have with Dr. Dennison is on time & he answers all my questions in terms I understand. He replaced my hip in December 2024 and I was back to my regular exercise routine within weeks like he promised!

Nice guy, explained the x-rays, and moved on. Wished they weren’t so rushed by insurance. He explained everything so well I had no questions and he moved onto the next patient.

Dr. Dennison has done both of my hip replacements, each one with excellent results. By the time of my recent 2 month check, I was back to my usual activities including yoga, Anytime Fitness, cycling, and cross country skiing. Not only is Dr. Dennison a great surgeon, but he is personable, answers questions or concerns, and takes time at appointments.
