About Dena Engel, MD

My aim is to provide the best urological care within the region while holding myself to the highest national medical standards. I make every effort to discuss concerns, answer all questions and allow my patients to be active participants in the medical decision-making process. My philosophy is in contrast with the old idea that "the doctor always knows best." I love developing relationships over time and will do everything possible to make sure patient visits at my practice exceed expectations and that I deliver the best possible outcomes. I am committed to providing professional, compassionate and individualized care to all of my patients as well as their families, and have been designated a Surgeon of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running and relaxing at the beach. My husband, Scott, and I have four children.

I like Dr. Engel, there was no guessing Or uncertainty in her delivery. Super transparent and straightforward Instructions regarding my issue. Kind and obviously well educated in her field. This easily could've been a shameful awkward encounter and it was 100% opposite. She gave me clear instructions to treat my infection and get back to 100%. Thank you!
