Excellent Service
Such a great Dr. and Surgeon! He has such a clear way of explaining everything, great bedside manor, and he took great care of me after only meeting me one time.
Very good, he will listen to you and take his time.
He listens carefully and attentively, is very thorough, and always finds the perfect solution for our health problems. He is one of those rare doctors that seems to really care about his patients and doesn’t just rush us out as soon as he is done talking. He makes sure we don’t have any questions when we leave, only answers!
Dr. Denz was personable and took my concerns and issues into consideration. He offered solutions that would be best for me. I highly recommend!
First time seeing Dr Denz. I felt he took the time to listen and came up with a solution. I had been complaining about this pain and I couldn't get any relief. Totally happy
Dr. Denz is the most professional doctor I have ever an appointment with. He explained in great detail the significance of my injury and how we are going to mend it. He answered each and every question I had and reassured me that my injury would be better in time.
I’m so grateful that Dr. Denz is thorough yet matter of fact and has a clear action plan.
He is a great Dr
