Moving to Fort Myers from a 100 percent minimally invasive weight-loss surgery practice in Kentucky in August 2010, Dr. Denk is building a comprehensive Laparoscopic and Incisionless General and Bariatric Surgery Program.

Dr. Denk is currently working on improving his Spanish. He enjoys boating, scuba diving and dining in Southwest Florida. He is an avid snowboarder out West in the winter and also travels when possible.
