Dr. Dennis is a pain doctor. All he wanted to do was shoot me with steroids. My husband had that procedure 6 times with no relief. I am in serious pain due to a botched hip operation that cannot be corrected. I have a very expensive vacation overseas pending with walking planned each day. All I wanted was some pharmaceutical relief for one month. Thanks for nothing!

Great staff! Ali, a medical assistant, assisted with my transfer to and from the car and even taught us some tips that made it easier at home. I liked how imaging was done and interpreted on site. Everyone was friendly and very helpful!
More than 1 year agoMackenzie C.Verified patient
Great staff, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I feel like they treat us patients as if we were local TikTok celebrities lol.
The only complaints worth mentioning are the wait times are practically eternal, over an hour on average in my experiences.
That said, my health issues are always addressed and taken care of, so I’ll keep going back.
June 28, 2023David L.Verified patient
Highly recommend Dr Dennis. I thought I needed a shot in my back. He said no I just needed physical therapy. So wonderful to find someone so honest!
May 1, 2023Carol G.Verified patient
How quick I was able Tom see a doctor. He was to the point regarding my issue. Great staff that was very polite and not rushing me...I’m from out of state and I felt very comfortable being away from home doctor...
January 9, 2023Betty W.Verified patient
Experience was great! From the person who I checked in with (Emma) to the nurse, the X-ray tech (Tiffany) to the procedure scheduler and Dr Dennis. Wonderful!
January 6, 2023Robin D.Verified patient
The doctor was not too too clear about course of action to treat my 6yrs chronic severe Nerve pain. Booking surgery Nurse explain. If you r looking for a resolution he is great but u will suffer 2 more weeks until u r schedule for Nerve Block procedure. In the mean time I was told u made it this long(6yrs) a little longer we help u. Pain so bad affecting my work, home and quality of life. I think he could of given me a very low dose RX for pain, He was in- sensitive to tell me to suffer a little longer.

I love Dr. Dennis. I had seen him a few years ago, and that is why I requested him now. He is a great doctor and he always makes sure that he takes care of my pain as soon as possible. I would recommend Dr. Dennis to anyone!

Dr. Dennis listened to my concerns and questions and recommended a schedule of treatment on his findings and experience and asked me if I would like to follow the recommendations.

I don't feel that, either, my condition is being taken seriously, or that my complaints are being minimized. I was as plain, polite, aporeciative and honest as possible. Clinically, I don't feel my immediate needs will be met. I accepted the treatment plan and will try to endure long enough to try it. My current situation is difficult, especially v with the crisis we're facing. If I can't find relief, I'll have to find a way to either ask for alternatives or ask for a change. I know we're all in a difficult place and tough decisions have to be made. I find Dr. Dennis to be a compassionate physician that perhaps has constraints to providing specific solutions. I don't blame him. I do however feel that my condition is not improving.

I would rate Zocdoc a complete failure. My doctor's office had absolutely no record of the appointment, so I drove 40 miles into town for NOTHING.
August 26, 2019Christie W.Verified patient
Dr. Dennis is great. He took the necessary time with me, reviewed my care plan and walked me through the process forward. I recommend him.
July 12, 2018Jonathan C.Verified patient
Very professional doctor. He also took into consideration what my insurance would cover since I don’t have the best insurance available through my work place. He took the time to ask me questions and listened closely to my answers. Which was very refreshing. The only thing I did not like was the long check out process considering there is only one check out counter. It took almost 25 minutes to check out. And the lady checking out patients was a little rude.

I have been seeing Dr Dennis for about 2 years now & I love him!! Unlike my previous pain management Dr's office, I always see him, not a nurse. He is very compassionate & understanding. He seems like he truly cares about me & my overall health & well being. I'm so glad I switched Dr's & went to him!!
