Dr. Denz was kind and compassionate and listened to everything I was concerned about. He explained what the X-rays showed and what options he could offer me when I need them. I left me feeling confident that I found the best doctor to help me in the future. He has an excellent bedside manner and is an asset to your organization and I would highly recommend him and Lakeshore Bone and Joint Institute to anyone who needs great doctors. Thank you Dr. Denz!
