Carolyn RENEE Dennehey's Online Review Report Card

Excellent doctor. She is curious and goes beyond to find a solution to problems. A good listener with lots of patience. Glad she's treating me.

I would not recommend Dr. Dennehey. I was referred to her for evaluation for autoimmune disorder (AD). My GP thought I had one because of new facial rash, Raynaud's and more, plus a couple of AD tests were positive. Dr. Dennehey seemed bored when I was telling her about my new symptoms/history. I even caught her rolling her eyes at one point. In the end she said I did not have an AD and the positive tests were false. Several weeks later, Stanford diagnosed me with systemic lupus and more.

Dr. Dennehey demonstrates a very caring and concerned demeanor to me at each visit. After a recent appointment she prescribed an in-depth lab test, and called me personally to give me the results. She ensures that I feel empowered to discuss any issues I have with my medical condition.

I saw Dr. Carolyn Dennehey in 2014 at Sutter in Sacramento. She was the first doctor to diagnose me with Fibromyalgia, as I'd been suffering with body pain/aches for many years and no other doctor knew why. It is likely that my problem stemmed from a car accident in 1996 and/or surgeries. Dr. Dennehey is very professional, courteous and treated me with dignity and respect. She's a great listener and she's able to use her training and expertise to find the correct diagnosis. Great doctor!

When first diagnosed about 3.5 years ago, I first saw DR Dennehey. What a kind and concerned Dr. She new the pain I was having and was dedicated to making that pain and future pain go away.. What a good life I have had since meeting her. Am so sorry she has moved to Reno, because i miss her a great deal. Tony Rishe

I saw Dr. Dennehey in 2004 at UCI when my left eye had become very inflammed. My Ophthalomogist at UCI referred me to her. She was the MD to finally diagnose me with Reactive Arthritis. I had been mistakenly dx with other conditions in the past. She was an excellent MD. She really listened well was very compassionate. She was open-minded and patiently discussed all my options with me. I was sorry she moved away, I will always be grateful to her for diagnosing me correctly and her caring manner.

Switching rheumatologists could have been very stressful for me. But after my first visit I felt very comfortable with the office and the doctor. I called in with a question and actually had the doctor personally call me back. You don't find that very often anymore. I'm very thankful I was referred to this office by my retiring rheumatologist, Dr Steven Atcheson.

I was referred to Dr Dennehey in which I had a good meeting with her at first. She wanted me to do more blood work and X-rays to see what was going on with my body. I never spoke to her again! She Never got back to me on any results. I had to do all the calling to see if she got the results back along with my x-rays. Delt with the nurse practioner who was AMAZING.. But still no diagnosis.. 3 weeks have gone by and I finally picked up my papers to see someone else. You would think that once the results were in she would have called to go over them with you to explain what you have and make a plan.. Never happened Then when reading through my paperwork she said I had cervical cancer... I've never had cervical cancer.. I would go see someone who takes your health seriously!!!!

So far seems very thorough, does't make me feel like a burden. It's nice to have a dr. take what you say serious and not blow you off, it's a much faster way to solve the problem too!

Dr. Dennehey really takes the time to get to know her patients. She is very patient with me and listens toy concerns about pain/new meds. I always recommend her to people. I never have to wait long in the office for my appointments, or for a return call when I call the office. Dr. Dennehey has gotten me through some really tough patches with my RA, she is pretty great!
