Podiatry Services in Houston, TX
Kenrick J. Dennis, DPM provides comprehensive foot and ankle care for the bones, joints, nerves, and soft tissues of the heel, ankle, and toes. Dr. Ken Dennis diagnoses the underlying cause of your pain and builds a treatment plan that gets you back on your feet. Our Memorial City office can take X-rays, order MRIs, prescribe medication, and perform many procedures in-house, so most of your care happens in one convenient location.
We believe most foot problems should be treated conservatively first. When surgery is the best path forward, Dr. Dennis is proud to operate at Cy-Fair Surgery Center and Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital.
