Named a Top Doctor by Florida Magazine, Dr. Denney is a fellowship-trained infectious disease specialist with interests in travel medicine and preventive care. She is affiliated with Memorial Healthcare System, seeing patients at Memorial Hospital Pembroke, Memorial Hospital West, and Memorial Regional Hospital.

Since its inception in 1953, Memorial Healthcare System has been a leader in providing high-quality healthcare services to South Florida residents.

Its mission is to “heal the body, mind, and spirit of those we touch.”

“Critical to achieving your health goals is an excellent patient-physician relationship. My goal as your private physician is to form that bond, one that will maximize a healthy lifestyle and allow me to provide personalized care. I believe preventive care is the cornerstone of excellent health in which exercise plays a crucial role. I prize getting to know each of my patients well beyond their immediate health needs so I may put the puzzle of your lifelong health together” expressed Dr. Denney. 

Striving to achieve optimal care and outcomes for her patients, she is board-certified in infectious disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. 

Back in the early days of her academic career, Dr. Denney graduated with her medical degree from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine in 1993. She then went on to complete her internship and residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in 1994 and 1996, respectively. This was followed by a fellowship at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine in 1998.

A Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), she is a member of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Society of Microbiology, and the American Medical Association.

Infectious disease is a medical specialty dealing with prevention, the diagnosis, and treatment of infections. An infectious disease specialist’s practice also consists of managing nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections.
