Denby Steele surgery office in North Adelaide comes across professional and well kept. His receptionist/assistant was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. In fact, her efforts to answer my questions and concerns were better than Denby's. Denby: in summary I would say he comes across as a well respected doctor and surgeon in his field, he's chatty but his bedside manner isn't great at times. He was never rude. At the start of my consult/survey he asked me if I had any questions, so I said yes, could you please walk me through a summary of the potential side effects or risks of this surgery, and he told me it was all written in his email notes to me. He avoided talking about the side effects. Why bother asking me if I have any questions if you're not willing to answer them. So I proposed to crack on with the surgery if I wasn't going to get any answers. Not ideal.
Dr Denby is very professional and dedicated Gave me excellent follow up after my procedure
