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.

My appointment was 10/13 11:30 am and I arrived at 11 am for an IME. I took the day off, had a other appointment at 12:50 pm which I had to fast for in White Plains and another 1:30 pm. When I got there one woman was at the front desk with her air pods in having a personal conversation and checking me in at the same. I guess HIPAA means nothing to her. Meanwhile her office manager was sitting behind her and he said absolutely nothing as he witnessed this. Time continues to pass and I'm there until 12:40 pm before I get called in to the office. This second rude woman walks in and doesn't even greet me. I asked her when will the doctor be in and she says that "he's doing my paperwork and will be in shortly." I explained to her what I mentioned earlier about my other appointments and that I've been waiting so long. Her response to me was "He will be in in a few and that's all I have to say." I looked at her and asked "really?" and no response. I grabbed my stuff and walked out.

If I could leave a negative number I would. He’s a scam artist employed by insurance companies to falsely diagnose patients. Waited 3 hours for 5 minutes of seeing this quack. I have a torn ligament and broken foot and he said “you are fine”. Please find a reputable doctor! He’s definitely NOT it!!

Dr Denton now does Workman's compensation (IMD). He does the examination in 6 min or less. Not really an examination. Move this, move that..ok your good to go. How is he working? I guess that's why he works for insurance companies now. Never would recommend.

Injured man in New Rochelle, NY – Jul 26, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Denton?
Sent by Worker's Comp for an IME. He was professional & courteous,but like many older doctors, had the attitude that he knew best, refused to consider my ideas to manage my post-fusion scoliosis. I go to the gym to stay functional; he was impressed I could bend over & touch the floor forwards, something that has NEVER been an issue. Never saw films, read a few reports. This one ability colored his whole attitude & he denied desperately necessary surgery.
