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.

I often recommend Dr Denden
My husband had a painful ingrown toenail. Dr Denden removed it right away with very minimal pain

Great visit
I did a follow-up with Dr. Denden as my podiatrist was out of town. Dr. Denden was great, he listened, calmed my fears, and had a gentle touch. It was a great visit.

No Frills!
Dr. Denden was very professional, yet the visit didn’t feel so formal. He’s a really cool doc. His office was neat, clean and simple, without a bunch of pesky advertisements. He helped me understand my injury & the road to recovery. His office staff are always friendly and professional. I’ve not had one issue since being under his care. He seems very knowledgeable and I can tell he enjoys his profession. Every time I’ve visited his office, he is always working on something!

The best podiatrist on Chicago's Southside!!
Dr. Denden lives up to the hype!! His reviews are 100% accurate. The most personable bedside manners to accompany his knowledge. Superb experience (I didn't have the most terrible situation though). Would totally recommend him to family and friends!

Reassuring
I was happy to get an emergency next day visit after falling on my foot that had surgery the day prior. Dr. Denden reassured me with XRays and a visual examination that the foot was still doing well and healing well.
