Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Stomach issues
I have seen Dr Denby before and he is wonderful. He listens to you and then you discuss what we are going to do. I have Lupus and am having other issues with my stomach. Dr Denby listened to me talk about how I feel like my migraines, Lupus, hives, and dizzy spells are all connected, then he tells me all the tests we are doing to try to get to the bottom of my issues. He is very caring and professional, I will continue to see him until he retires. He’s a really good doctor.

Dr Denby an excellent gastroenterologist
Dr Denby has been my doctor since moving to Pensacola 3 years! I have seen many doctors in my 20 year military service and 26 years engineering career! He is unquestionably the best i have ever had and i have a history of stomach issues. I have never felt as good as i do now under his care! He consistently demonstrates Professionalism and is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, caring, and personable! Never feel rushed or hurried during scheduled visits! Thank you Dr Denby!!!

Dr Denby is one of the most professional and caring Dr I have found. He has been there for me helping me deal with the unusual medical issues and treatment plans from the beginning. He has a great sense of humor dealing with my OCD. His nurse Harley is also a caring and diligent when helping me with my needs. They are both an example of how. Dr & his staff should treat their patients !

Dr Denby is a very attentive doctor. I’ve only seen him for procedures - but he has a great personality and very personable. Otherwise, I use his PA, Jessica Harris. She’s great and very friendly. I highly recommend their practice.

Dr. Denby is the BEST! He is a thoughtful and caring physician. He did my colonoscopy earlier this year and last Friday he diagnosed and preformed an outpatient ERCP procedure which cured my stomach problem. I can't tell you how much I appreciated the personal phone call from Dr. Denby on Sunday to see how I was doing! That shows just how much he cares for his patients. I will praise and recommend Dr. Denby to anyone. His staff is very polite, courteousness and professional

He is likely the worst GI Dr in the pensacola area. Doesn't care abt his patients. Took his copay sent me to the ER and the ER sent me back to him only for him to be gone for the day. Total visit cost for that day $400. Still no solution he has simply said he has no idea what is wrong. WOW JUST WOW!!!!!
