Dr. Denz is amazing. I am 64 years old, I have been living with chronic pain due to multiple medical conditions including osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, costochondritis, scoliosis, cervical spondylosis, and degenerative joint disease for many years. It's hard to find a good doctor these days who will take the time to listen to you at your appointment since most GOOD RUPTABLE doctors are over booked making them to busy to listen to their patients concerns. I always feel so much better after I walk out of Dr. Denz's office. Even his staff is amazing.
