Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Dennis is the ultimate physician. Always polite, professional and interested in hearing the patient.

Went in for my left knee. Dr.Dennis explained everything so I could understand what was going on. Had a great conversation. He and his staff were very professional. He showed me what was wrong and ways we are going to fix the problem.

Highly recommend
Dr. Dennis is wonderful. Daughter felt comfortable and made sure we understood what was going on with her knee. Came to him for a second opinion because another doctor made it seem like nothing was wrong. Feeling seen, heard, and having a diagnosis really makes a difference.

Best Doctor Ever
Dr Dennis treats you like a friend as well as a client. Always concerned and caring and wants to know how you are but asks about the family and how they are. Couldn't ask for a better doctor or a better person.
