My Qualifications

Dr. Denz received his O.D. (Doctor of Optometry) degree from the University of California Berkeley School of Optometry in 1983. Before joining Kaiser in 1985, Dr. Denz completed a one year hospital-based optometry residency at the VA Medical Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, practiced for one year with the Fairfield Medical Group and taught interns part-time at the UC Berkeley School of Optometry in the Ocular Disease Clinic for 6 years.

He has been a member of the Diabetic Retinopathy and the Regional Professional Practice Committees.

Dr. Denz has been awarded 2 research grants for studies on infant vision and diabetic retinopathy screening methods.

My Healthcare Practice

“I chose the field of Optometry because I enjoy working one on one with people in a helping relationship. I enjoy the stimulation and the challenge of studying the human eye and its visual functions, and the treatment of eye disorders.”

“I strive to have compassion for my patients, to empathize with their problems by putting myself in their place, and to work to find the best solutions to their problems whether big or small. As Optometry Chief for the North Valley, I have the responsibility and privilege to seek out and hire the best optometrists, ensuring quality of care and service to our members.”

Receiving Your Healthcare From Kaiser Permanente

“I feel the Kaiser Permanente environment uniquely allows excellent communication and seamless collaboration between the patients’ various health care providers.”

My Outside Interests

“During my leisure time, I enjoy basketball, playing and recording music, and boating on Folsom Lake with my family. I also enjoy volunteering some of my spare time providing eyecare to the underprivileged in Mexico and the homeless in our community at home.”
