Dr. Dennis performed a surgery on me over 20 + years ago. I’m still in good shape! He SAVED my life. I was in so much pain I didn’t know what to do my quality of life was so bad.

I can’t say enough good things. I hope you eventually read this Dr. Dennis, Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!

I recommend Dr.Dennis to everyone I know! He did my back surgery 10 years ago and gave me back my life. I can’t thank him enough.

Dr. Dennis is an amazingly brilliant surgeon who also happens to be a very kind, patient and thorough human being and doctor. I count my blessings I was referred to him through my PT. I’m walking and living my normal life once again thanks to Dr. Dennis.

I had my first visit with Dr Dennis and his bedside manner is amazing.  He spent an hour with me And explained every section of my MRI to me that he didn't even order. He spent more time with me explaining an MRI that he didn't order then the Dr. who did.  I finally have a better understanding of what's going on with my neck back and spine and don't feel its as dire as I thought.  Thank you to Dr. Dennis!  I recommend trying him!

Dr Dennis is the best!!!! He is hands on when comes to a diagnosis. He doesn’t just look at xrays and MRI’s . I thank God for that because two other surgeons wanted to do back surgery DrDennis did further testing and realized it was actually my husbands hips! He needed a bilateral hip replacement! Thank you Dr. Dennis . Your years of experience and training and such a good man who takes his time with you is what you want in a Dr. His office manager Pearl goes above and beyond as well working so sweetly with patients and helping with insurance issues and that is not easy!!

Great bedside manner, took his time. Explained everything in layman's language that I understood. On time, too!

Really unprofessional. Told me nothing wrong with my back from and xray. Basically rub some mud on it! Then had and MRI. So much wrong with my back had to have 5 lower discs replaced with cages spacers and hardware. Anterior/ posterior back surgery. Was at hoag a week after surgery. I had a real surgeon not this guy who should be written up and taken before medical board. Lucky I have a friend who works for a 5 star surgeon referred me to a real Dr. no way to treat a person or even a snake! Bad Bad Bad! Go to church Dr. Dennis  for forgiveness. U took and oath.

Dr. Dennis was not just an inadequate surgeon in my case. He was rathe indifferent to me when his surgery clearly failed (fusing my S1, L5, L4, and L3. As I suspected the 4 other orthopedic surgeons I consulted post-op clearly stated that Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) was called for and should have been used. I mentioned this to Dr. Steve Dennis pre-op and he said it was not necessary. At that time I was not aware how truly necessary it was as one of the screws oscillated and I ended up requiring 2 more surgeries. Don't be fooled by his Newport Beach location. This man is not who you want cutting you up. Fortunately the very thorough Dr. Moshe H Wilker was able to salvage the sloppy work Dr. Dennis did. He should have his license revoked.- Geoff K.- Geoff K.

He messed my Mom's back up and after a 2nd/3rd opinion 3 years later due to her ongoing constant pain that never went away after he performed surgery on her, she needs another surgery. My Mom's new Dr's in Greater Newport echoed the damage he caused and how wrong/bad his surgery was. His work now has to be removed and he didn't even sew my Mom's back up correctly according to the plastic surgeon who had to remove fluid after the surgery.

Dr. Dennis worked with me to avoid surgery until it was essential. The surgery was significant requiring spinal fusion but highly successful. I was skiing in 4 months and continue to live a very active lifestyle without any back problems.His counsel, comunication and skills are terrific.

Established a more detailed diagnosis and directed me to the correct care for physical therapy. Tested trigger points and took x-rays. Kind straightforward bedside manner. So far so good!
