He graduated Urology Residency at NEOUCOM (Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine), Affiliated Urology Residency in Akron, OH in 2005.

Dennis explains that Urology "provides a wonderful opportunity to care for many different patients with a vast array of medical and surgical problems. I care for both male and female patients, with problems such as kidney, bladder and prostate cancer, kidney stones and incontinence. It is more than I ever wished for. Even in the changing face of medicine today, it is a genuine honor to care for urology patients." Dennis is part of a large urology group in Akron - Physicians Urology

Dennis is also an assistant professor of urology at NEOUCOM which derived from his clinical track based on his research accomplishments and teaching within the urology department.
