Antony Denard's Online Review Report Card

The last visit was actually the best..finally I would be able to see another M.D. to find the cause of the swelling AFTER hip replacement. He just kept telling me: bursitis, then maybe a seroma and the last visit, possibly a hematoma. After 2 1/2 months, he then thought I should have a scan. I asked that he refer me to Mayo. Within two days of meeting the Mayo doctors, they found that Denard had nicked an artery and it just kept bleeding. Mayo docs also found an aneurysm which was caused by the 'leak'. Everyone we spoke with at Advent said "he did everything right". What he did not do, was listen to the patient! Be Careful!

Diagnosis and proposed operation were very clearly explained. Patiently answered all questions and was reassuring about the process and eventual outcome.

Dr Denard replaced my husband’s hips because he had Avascular Necrosis. He did a great job. He is a very caring person. He spent a good amount of time explaining everything to us.

Dr. Denard did not perform a satisfactory leg and hip surgery, resulting in additional medical problems, insufficient communication caused delayed responses to critical care and longer term stays. More importantly, the patient was left with a fairly shortened leg as a result of inaccuracy in measurement, which was never even measured until rehab. In my opinion, Dr. DEnard needs to learn to be more aware of his accuracy and the patient, not just a surgery finished up.

Dr. Denard blatantly lied to me about my condition to get the result that was most attractive to him. Because of my unease with Dr. Denard I wanted to get a second opinion. The second doctor confirmed that virtually everything that Dr. Denard was a lie. Dr. Denard told me that the ONLY treatment for my condition was a Reverse Shoulder Replacement. That surgery is only indicated when the rotator cuff is completely detached. My MRI report says that my rotator cuff is still 90% attached. My new doctor believes that Arthroscopic surgery to remove some bone fragments will relieve my occasional discomfort. Dr. Denard clearly wanted to do the joint replacement when my best interest was a less invasive course of action!

broke and dislocated my ankle and got stuck with Dr Denard doing the surgery. At my first post op visit thety put me in a hard cast . Two weeks later went back and they took the cast off , told me I could fully walk. This was a whopping 4 weeks after the surgery. No PT, not exercises, no nothing. About this time I tried to tell him I was hving a lot of pain in my good leg especially in my knee. He brushed me off saying it was overcompensation. Two week later, takes me out of the boot and releases me. With NO instructions, no exercises, and still brushing off my knee pain. Two weeks later I am concerned because my ankle is still hurting, and my knee is KILLING me. I make and appt. When I get there, they tell me it is post traumatic arthritis and it will go away, and I could google for exercise for my ankle. I'm two years later and still limping every day. I've been told I should have been in a cast for at least 6 wks and then had PT. I feel like he ruined my life!

Dr. Denard is an outstanding doctor. He and his team were amazing and took excellent care of me. My recovery is going awesome and would refer him to everyone. He had answered all my questions and has a great bedside manner. He is a gentleman and a joy to see in his office. I feel blessed to have had him take care of me during this time.

Horrible his bedside manner is very poor he does not listen to a word you say and dismisses you like he has better things to do

Does not communicate clearly what he is going to do. Does not even come out after surgery and let you know how it went and what he saw and actually did, or didn't do, to complete the surgery.

Fine Doctor. .. Attentive.. Thorough..Knowledgeable!! Class A
