Like everyone, I too was shocked and so upset to hear of Dr. Denningtons passing. He was by far the best Doctor...You could tell he loved what he did. I always felt safe and taken care of. My heart goes out to his friends at his offices and his family. God Bless your soul!

Dr. Dennington was truly the best doctor my family ever had. We have known and trusted him for over 25 years. My son (who is mentally handicapped) went to see Dr. D to get tubes in his ears and his tonsills removed. My husband saw him for nasal surgery, and my daughter saw him for nasal trauma. Dr. D had such a great personality, a wonderful bedside manner and always had a smile on his face. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his loving family, and co-workers. May you rest in peace Dr. D, you will truly be missed.

I only heard today (June 9) about Dr. Dennington's death. I'm devastated. I was to see him this Friday for a follow-appointment. As always, I was looking forward to seeing him, as well as Deb and the others in his office. The last time I saw Dr. Dennington, we discussed his "animal" skin shoes that I thought were so cool and about the article the Parker Chronicle had written about him. He was an outstanding doctor and surgeon. I will miss him. Regards and condolences to Dr. Dennington's family.

This was such a dragic event. The loss of a great friend & physician. Dr. Mike was there to check my papers in school, fix my broken nose when the little one had a fit, provide relief with a couple sinus surgeries, laugh with me when life was tough. Cindy, although I don't know you; I truely feel your loss. Debbie, you were close to the doc for many years working along side of him; we are praying for you as well. At least we can take comfort in knowing that he was doing what he loved the best. Being Outdoors!

Cindy,

I have not had the pleasure of meeting you in person but I saw numerous pictures of you when I went to Dr. Dennington's office. I'm sorry that your life with him was so short. I used to baby sit Jon when he was little and have known Dr. Dennington & Debbie (from the office) for a number of years. He was an exceptional man and he will be greatly missed by all. My heartfelt sympathy to you, your children and Jon.
