Biography

Dr. Dennis grew up in the country mountains of Pennsylvania doing all the things that country boys do. College was a shock since he spent four years in Newark, NJ, earning a degree in electrical engineering. After spending four years working in a USAF laboratory in Albuquerque, NM, he attended medical school in Philadelphia, PA. His residency was done at a USAF Medical Center in Biloxi, MS. Following that he practiced general OB/GYN at Andrews Air Force Base, MD and then did a maternal fetal medicine fellowship in Washington, DC. His final USAF assignment was in northern California for four years. After retirement from the USAF, he helped establish the maternal fetal medicine service at Carilion Clinic and has worked here since then.

For at least the last 20 years he has talked about retiring from Carilion and medicine. Although he gets a little closer to retirement every day, he enjoys seeing and taking care of patients as well as learning about their life outside of what they are dealing with every day. Caring for patients makes his day every day. Dr. Dennis enjoys coming to work and loves the staff Ihe works with at Carilion.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Dennis enjoys multiple interests including outdoor activities, traveling (70 countries in his lifetime-some for work, the rest for pleasure), reading, seeing family and just enjoying life.

He looks forward to meeting you.
