About

Philosophy of Care

My decision to become a cardiologist started with a passion for improving the lives of my patients over a lifespan. I believe in the humanity and dignity of every patient and seek to provide care in a respectful manner. No two people are the same and I work to individualize care to meet of the needs of each patient I encounter with care and compassion. This starts with developing a patient-physician relationship built on trust.

In the Media

Dr. Denby appeared on KTVB's "Life in Balance" to discuss taking care of your heart.
