I wanted to wait until after I had my surgery to tell you what I thought of Dr. Dennen. My over-all impression of Dr. Dennen is that he is MARVELOUS! I discovered about 4 months into my WLS process that he is the head of Bariatric Surgery in Fremont. I am completely impressed by that fact, only because I now understand WHY he holds such a position. He is a very competent surgeon. He explains every aspect and detail of this surgery himself! He doesn't expect his staff to do this. He explained the risks as well as the lifetime commitment. To balance his keen surgical competence, I have to add that he is kind, nurturing and has a wonderful sense of humor. I am so blessed to have had Dr. Dennen as my surgeon and I would recommend him with absolutely NO reservations.
I first met Dr. Dennen at my consult appointment and liked him immediately. He was warm, personable, and approachable. He seemed very competent and knowledgable about wls. He talked candidly with me about my body type, what type of surgery he felt would be best and took the time to answer my questions. He never made me feel like I asked anything foolish.
These same thoughts were affirmed when I met him again at my pre-op appointment. I felt he was genuinely interested in me and took the time to explain every detail of the surgery experience to me. I felt very confident and quite calmed by him.
He was very attentive during my hospital stay, checking in on me daily.
I am extremely pleased by Dr. Dennen and his entire staff and the Kaiser Fremont nurses and facility.
He is a wonderful surgeon
I still think he's great
his staff is great but they are a growing staff and are a little short handed
Dr Dennen was great he explained everything fully and was more than willing to explain anything I had questions about. I would definately recomend him to any Kaiser patients in the area
WELL DR DENNEN IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HIS AFTER CARE IS WHAT HE REALLY PUSHES. WHICH I THINK IS GOOD. I HAVE SEEN HIM 3 TIMES ALREADY AND I HAVENT EVEN HAD MY SURGERY YET
SO THAT MAKE ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH HIM. HE LETS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHATS GOING ON AND HAS LOTS OF COMMUNICATION WITH ME. I WILL LET YOU KNOW MORE AFTER SURGERY.
Dr. Dennen is awesome. I love his down to earth approach and he seems very in tune and sympathetic to my plight!
Sincere, friendly, informative.
It hasn't I still believe he want to see his patients succeed.
Office staff knowledgeable, low key, somewhat friendly, more clinical.
I hate driving all day for a 15/30 minute appointment.
I wish I could have spent more time with Dr. Dennen, everything happened so fast, he truly accommodated my wishes.
Future patients should know he is sincere and caring.
He emphasizes aftercare as a priority. It's just the drive is so far.
Several follow up appointments, nutrionist also.
Addressed risk in a detailed appointment.
I would rate him 8.5/10 overall. Only meet with him 4 times.
Both bedside manner and surgical competence were fine.
