Dr. Keith Denkler helped me with my ongoing Dupuytrens. I had three fingers that were bent at 60°. The chords were not easily found. I mostly had nodules. Dr. Denkler is the only doctor I've been to that performs the needle Aponeurotomy and it works. His expertise is amazing and my three fingers are now straight. I have been to many other doctors for Xiaflex and had surgeries. This procedure by Dr. Denkler gives the best result. I am grateful that I found him and can't thank him enough for helping me. Also, I saw him in 2009. He performed the needle aponeurotomy on my little finger and it is still Straight! read more

Keith has been looking after my cosmetic surgery needs for many years. He is to put it mildly TERRIFIC! Just look at his resume, he's done it all. He is caring, thoughtful, experienced and highly skilled. He is truly an artist. I call him the Michelangelo of cosmetic care. He has a wonderful team in the office, uniformly polite and helpful, with a genuine sense of calm and caring. I have already scheduled my next appointment, so I can look even younger! read more

Long overdue, but I have been a patient/ client of Dr. Denkler for 15+ years. At 37, I had rhinoplasty and the results were truly natural looking and perfect for my face. I couldn't be happier! After this procedure, I have seen Dr. Denkler regularly for Botox, filler and skin laser (I'm 54 now). He is a true artist and very skilled at what he does. I always feel more beautiful after! Again, very natural and never over done. The office is very soothing and zen and everyone who works there, is simply the best! I highly highly recommend Dr Keith Denkler! PS I get my pet therapy there too with their dog Maggie! read more

Dr. Keith Denkler was amazing. I had my breast augmentation revision and I love how it turned out. The best thing about it was that the surgery was done on site. I was also well taken care of before & after my surgery by Dr. Rosalind Hudson. read more

Ladies and gentleman! Run don't walk to Dr. Denkler to get your cosmetics done! I have been for YEARS, trying to get rid of old rolling/pitted acne scars from teenage years on my face and I have finally found my savior! First of all years ago I came to his office to get subscision to release the scars and he ended up also doing some "sanding" I think he called it to soften the appearance. This dramatically improved their appearance I was elated! He suggested getting filler to really help improve their appearance however at the time I was too scared of filler.... Fast forward to this year, I moved back to the Bay Area I noticed they were still faintly some uneven texture and decided to book with Dr. Denkler again. I am so happy and grateful I did. We decided to do less then half a syringe of filler to even out my texture and it turned out better then I could even imagine! He is so kind, takes his time with his patients, is not pushy at all, listens to your concerns and gives you his most professional recommendation to resolve the issue. Plus he really has an eye for symmetry and proportion. I will now ALWAYS come here for my cosmetics! He did what I thought would be impossible for fixing my tricky scars, I was in and out within 30 min but felt incredibly cared for. I can't wait to go back I would trust him with any procedure moving forward. Thank you so much Dr. Denkler! read more

There's not a better Doctor anywhere. If you're struggling with Dupytrenes Conjecture...Don't go with the Xiaflex injections or surgery- Go see this guy. read more

Botox saved my feet from plantar fascitis. I happened to be in Dr. Denklers office for a hand issue when I complained about issues with my feet and plantar fascitis. He said, "I have had a number of patients who get relief from botox in the feet", so I scheduled an appointment. BEST thing I have ever done. Years of trying the boot, the icing, the stretching, the LESS hiking (bummer), the foot massages, the therapies seemed unending. Done, botox worked perfectly. It has been about a 1.5 years + since i did it and it has continued to be effective. It's like it calmed down my inflamed feet. Thank you Dr. D your the best. read more

Dr. Denkler is a cosmetic artist! This is my third time having a procedure with him (three different ones) and all of my experiences have been positive and amazing. I'm 63 year old and look natural, rested and at least 10 years younger without looking stretched out. I describe this experience is like a journey. From his office staff who are incredible kind and genuinely courteous to his wife and partner Dr. Hudson, who takes the time to explain all that you are about to be going through, Dr. Denkler is the magician who will make things happen in a superb way. I'm healing well, the scars are being treated with laser each week, this treatment is included in the initial fee. By the way, the products they sell at the office are top beauty cosmetics. I was initially reluctant to get, but after some research, I found the prices reasonable and the products work! Thank you Dr. Denkler, Dr. Hudson and all staff! read more

Dr Denkler is far and above one of the very best hand surgeons to be found. The dupuytren's procedure Dr Denkler performed for me allowed the use of my finger to return to normal. Not only did he do the surgery, he explained what was happening to my finger and how the surgery would be performed and the expectations I could have for a return to normal use. As a general contractor, my hands are my tools! And to have the use of my finger returned is simply fantastic! Thank you Dr Denkler! And above all else, you are a very nice man. DR Colbert read more

Update: It has been almost two and a half week post op. They are more than a wonderful surgeon and doctor, but also wonderful individuals. I couldn't have picked a better surgeon, doctor, and overall medical staff for my procedure. I am very satisfied with my results. I've gained much more confidence and I owe it to Dr. Denkler and Dr. Hudson for their time and work. They both and Ly made themselves available when I had questions. I am very comfortable with them. They are personable individuals and treated us like family. I will always remember how they took care of me pre op and post op! read more

After a fall, I had a baby-head sized hematoma on my hip that remained "static" for close to 3 weeks. Unsettled, and in an enormous amount of associated nerve pain, I visited the ER. Their advice, "wait and see" - maybe up to 2 months - and a consolation prize of some painkillers. The pain (and size) continued to keep me from work and I felt I had no options. A friend referred me to Dr. Denkler. A Plastic Surgeon? "Just go see him," was the advice - advice I'm grateful to have followed. The office is beautiful, the staff attentive and caring. Dr. D quickly and skillfully assessed my injury. Within 30 painless minutes, he evacuated enough blood to give me immediate relief and inserted a drain to keep things moving. (Mind you, I was in the ER for 4 hours!) A gentle and a skillful practitioner, I will never forget the doc who "pulled the thorn from my paw." I can't imagine where I'd be without his thoughtful, highly-skilled intervention! read more

This is just an incredibly special office. Dr. Denkler put a happy end to a problem I'd had for the last three years. A mole was removed by an inept doctor, leaving a deep gouge in my face. The original doctor had said, "Too bad, that's the way it goes sometimes" and was completely dismissive. Wow. So I moved on to doctor #2 who simply filled the pit with restylane. And while it was an improvement, it still wasn't right and I knew it. And because that filler vanishes with time, every few months I'd need to blow $400 to 'refill' it. But Dr. Denkler simply snipped out the mess, stitched it up and gave me the lovely solution I needed from the start. I can't tell you how relieved I am to finally have this wound handled properly by the RIGHT doc. Last night the bandage finally came off to reveal the faintest, most barely visible scar. It looks beautiful and perfect compared to what I've been through! Also the entire office are just the sweetest people in the world. Dr. Denkler, his doctor wife Rosalind, and all the women who work up front...my goodness, this is just an unusually caring, kind and super competent place. What a find and worth the drive from the East Bay for sure! read more

Dr.Keith is part Artist and part Genius. The whole experience at Dr. Denklers office is one of relaxation and rejuvenation. He is a board certified plastic surgeon so you are in good hands. The office location is beautiful, plenty of parking and once inside the wait was minimal. I hear a lot of gals these days going to med spas or getting botox on groupon. I am sure that is fine sometimes, but sometimes its not! Why don't you pick the best from the very start to ensure you most important asset does not get all jacked up? 10 Stars if I could. read more

I saw Dr. Denkler for Dupuytrens Contracture. Like others, I had researched possible doctors extensively and Dr. Denkler came highly recommended. I can see why. Nice facility, very friendly and helpful staff and Dr. Denkler was everything I could have hoped for. Very pleasant fellow who took great effort to make me feel comfortable and answer all my questions. I had needle aponeurotomy which is quite a bit less invasive than surgery. Dr. Denkler has performed a lot of these and his confidence showed it. He was very communicative throughout the procedure which took less time than I had imagined. My fingers are free to move again with very little discomfort after the procedure. I am very happy. read more

Choosing a partner to help restore or maintain your appearance is no small challenge. I confidently and enthusiastically endorse Dr Keith Denkler as an amazingly skilled, caring and talented professional you can trust your face to. Dr Denkler took this facial injections virgin and subtly yet significantly using Juviderm, Botox and Kybella to give me a refreshed lightened, new look. I didn't want to look like "I had work done" but wanted to look better. My husband was amazed at the subtle yet significant difference. The greatest compliment to his work was that few commented on me looking different. My favorite feedback was when my brother remarked that "You sure do look good". Dr Denkler is a highly trained, accomplished, recognized and board certified Plastic Surgeon who knows the science of the products he uses and the bodies he injects those products into. He will care for you as if you are family, doing only what he would do for those he cares about. I also was blessed to be in the care of Dr Rosalind Hudson. She has a thorough understanding of the science of our skin and provided me with a clear regimen to strengthen and protect my complexion. As a consumer I feel bombarded by the products being marketed to me. Dr Hudson simplified my routine and recommended products that will actually work. She is brilliant, kind and caring. I am so thankful to be in the care of this amazing team. read more

I called in to make an appointment about a face procedure and the receptionist was very courteous. She booked me an appointment with Dr. Denkler this week for Thursday. I am going here based on raving yelp reviews and because I need a cosmetic surgeon whose specialty is facial procedures. So far I am liking the vibe I am getting from this practice but I will update my review after the procedure. *Fingers Crossed* read more

My dupuytren's contracture left my two smallest fingers bent into my palm. Dr. Denkler performed needle aponeurotomy in 30 minutes. Except for a minimal sting when he injected antiseptic into my palm, there was no pain. Two memories that come to mind: I had not had the ability to feel since my Dupuytren's had progressed. My stiff old hands are now flexible and pliable, resulting in so much more feeling in my palms. My other thought is that four days later I was hitting golf balls better than ever, probably due to my new lighter grip. A friend, who also suffers from dupuytren's, had the barbaric hand surgery performed. She had to wear a splint every night for 6 months and had to do physical therapy. Two years later her Dupuytren's has reoccurred. It's been a few years since I had the extremely helpful needle aponeurotomy performed. My two small fingers are beginning to slightly curl in again, perhaps at 25% of what they were before. I plan to make another appointment with Dr. Denkler, but he deserved a review for the absolutely life-saving treatment he performed. I say life saving as I am a semi-pro musician who, thanks to Dr. Denklers non-invasive treament, hasn't missed a beat. Pitch good Dr. Denkler! read more

Seven years ago my eyelids were drooping so low that my peripheral vision was impaired; incidentally, it probably also added at least 5 years of age to an otherwise "youthful" appearance. Dr. Denkler repaired the problem with minimum recovery time, saw me the next day, and then called on the phone during the week to see how I was doing. Fast forward to today - everything is still in place, no sign of any surgery on the eyelids. Sometimes in the wrong hands the results of such procedures can apparently be short-lived. Dr. Denkler is exceptionally skillful at what he does. read more

Our toddler fell, busting her cheek open. It was scary, very deep. Dr. Denkler and his team was calm, attentive and gave us a course of action that benefitted us, not them. We were very impressed by the level of care and follow-through, and they are excellent with kids. read more

I was referred to Dr. Denkler by several people, so I had a good deal of confidence in making an appointment with Dr. Denkler to have some aesthetic services. I was greeted with an incredibly friendly reception, and I immediately felt at ease and welcomed. Dr. Keith Denkler was so professional, and made me both excited about my results and at ease with his level of expertise. He explained everything really well and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Keith Denkler and his wife and partner at the office are wonderful people. Having a plastic surgeon who knows what you need and what the outcome will be was wonderful. Dr, Denkler and his wife, Dr. Rosalind Hudson, and internist, both made me feel beautiful and at home. I couldn't recommend his service any higher. This is THE place to go for a fresher, younger look, and I would stand behind these two professionals for any procedure. So, if you are looking for the best possible outcome for such an important procedure, look no further than Drs. Keith Denkler and Rosalind Hudson. You won't be sorry. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Denkler for over 10 years, and he's everything you'd want in a hand surgeon -- professional, experienced, a creative problem solver, and a terrific listener with a sense of humor who doesn't rush. Dr. Denkler is at the top of his game for Dupuytren's Contracture, needle aponeurotomy (NA), Xiaflex, cortisone injections, and hand surgery -- that's why I gladly drive 8 hours from L.A. to see him!!! Highly recommended. read more

I've gone to Dr. Denkler for several years for Botox. He is an excellent communicator and his skill with injections is painless. His office is clean and bright, and his staff is focused on the client. Highly recommend!!! read more

My experience with Dr. Denkler has been outstanding. He performed a needle aponeurotomy Dupuytren contracture release on my hand perfectly with little pain. This was in stark contrast to a prior aponeurotomy with another hand specialist physician who caused great pain and could not deal with the more difficult fingers Dr. Denkler treated. In addition, he is unrushed and has a great sense of humor. Look no further if you have Dupuytren's. Dr. Denkler has my highest possible recommendation. read more

First off, I would like to thank Dr. Denkler for actually listening to me and hearing what I was experiencing. I had visited my kaiser doctor four times before hand and I had left in disappointment every time. Keith was patient with me and was helpful in explaining all the types of possible things it could have been. My first visit here was a success. Dr. Denkler was able to solve the problem and removed the object from my foot. My experience here was one to remember and I feel every doctor no matter their practice should have the same attitude that Keith has. I highly recommend this office and will be returning. Thank you again! read more

So...I moved to Marin several years ago, but kept returning to my Mt. View doc for Botox, (etc). Long ride. I tried Dr. Denkler based on these reviews. WOW!!!!! I have never experienced a doc--any kind of doc--like Dr. Denkler. He took time!!!! Ask me questions. When he did the injections, I hardly felt it at all. And the results were far better than the results I have experienced ever! (17 years worth). I totally recommend Dr. Denkler. He was kind, amazingly skilled, and communicative. I am actually looking forward to going back! read more

Very personable, kind. Dr. D really explained the procedure well, also asked me questions about my daily life! Very friendly. The office is very nice, great location. Highly recommend for Botox!!! read more

Dr. Denkler, (along with his sidekick, wife Dr. Rosalind Hudson) is an incompetent, dangerous quack who ruined my life, irrevocably, butchering me to deformity and dysfunction. through his sloppy, poor performance. His sidekick, "Dr." Hudson offered me drugs (Xanax) to calm me down from the excruciating pain and permanent damage / deformity & lack of functionality THAT Denkler CAUSED to my body and hand. He was ashamed that his 'plastic surgery' damaged by body so badly, and it got worse and worse; he could not fix the damage that HE did to me. Indeed, I had to go to other doctors, to try and FIX the damage that Denkler did to me, through his careless, sloppy, butchery. SAVE YOURSELF! Don't allow yourself to go "under the knife' of Dr. Denkler (and then, if injured by him, offered dugs by his sidekick wife to relax and silence you). Don't listen to the other 'positive' reviews that Denkler has manufactured or paid 'happy' clients to write. It could be YOU that he cuts open and YOU who will never be the same again - just like it was me. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE GOING UNDER HIS KNIFE. Don't do it; there a plenty of Plastic Surgeons who are not disfiguring butchers like Denkler, or pill-pushers like his wife. SAVE YOURSELF! Don't go to Denkler. read more

I contacted Dr. Keith Denkler in Larkspur, California (near San Francisco) last year because he was the only doctor I could find who was using that French procedure that had been touted as more successful than surgery. But he advised me to wait until Xiaflex came out on the market this year. I returned to him about three months ago to get the Xiaflex injection, which would dissolve the scar tissue without the need for more surgery. Apparently it's a derivative of gangrene that has been conditioned to dissolve only scar tissue. What a concept! Although I haven't yet completed the process I can already see that this drug is miraculous. The bend in the middle finger of my right hand was 50 degrees before the procedure. It's now at only 20 degrees. And Dr. Denkler assures me that that will show a marked improvement as well. The numbing of the hand with Novocain was the most disquieting aspect of the procedure. The injections of Xiaflex were then painless. They did cause bruising and a sensation of aching that went up my arm for the first day. My hand felt quite sore for a week. And so I asked Dr. Denkler if we could postpone the "hand cracking procedure" that would be the next step. Over the course of the next few weeks I could feel a tearing sensation from time to time in the palm of my hand that was a bit painful. But I'm the kind of guy who would rather go into a cold swimming pool step by step than plunge in. So I preferred these little tearing sensations rather than breaking up the scar tissue all at one. I think it was about a month or five weeks after the injection when he numbed my hand again and then manipulated my hand to "break" the scar tissue away from the muscles and tendons. It felt like he was cracking my knuckles. It was completely painless. In the following couple of weeks there was more stiffness and bruising, but I had a great deal of mobility, and the feeling of my hand being in a glove has begun to disappear. I needed a second injection on the right hand, and that went even better than the first. And then we'll move on to my left hand... But I'm not worried anymore, because I can already see that Xiaflex is a medical marvel. Apparently Xiaflex dissolves scar tissue without injuring muscle or nerve tissue, but it has to be used carefully because it can damage tendons. (I think that's what he told me.) I'm so grateful to live in an age where science can actually make a difference in my personal health issues. I've never really felt this optimistic before that modern medicine could help me. I would like to add that my insurance company, Anthem (formerly Blue Cross) was very willing to cover the cost of another surgery (about $20K) so long as I would cover my enormous deductible. But they refused to cover the cost of Xiaflex claiming it was a "professional service" that wasn't covered by my plan. This is a perfect example of why I hate HMO's. They're penny wise and dollar foolish, and then they raise my rates claiming the high cost of treatment today. I wish they would inject Xiaflex into the mind of my HMO to dissolve the scar tissue that's impeding their good judgment. If you'd like to contact me personally, you can reach me at strawbarrytree /at/ comcast . net . read more

I elected to work with Dr. Denkler this past December while home for the holidays after my mom had a lifestyle lift done by him a few weeks prior. I first met him when he came to our home for one of my mom's post-op check ups. After changing my mom's bandages etc he spoke to me about some issues I was having with my eye. I lost my eye as a child so I currently have a prosthetic and the area above that eye has always appeared very hollow/sunken in compared to the other. I did not even know it was possible to treat this problem but Dr. Denkler told me that he could fix the problem I was experiencing by injecting filler into the area. Very exciting news. I had a great experience at my actual appointment with Dr. Denkler and received awesome results. He was able to fix this problem I had dealt with my entire life in a matter of minutes. The results of my mom's procedure were/are also outstanding and extremely natural looking, I would recommend him to anyone. I also cannot leave out that during my two office visits, I had the pleasure of meeting his wife and the office's internist, Dr. Hudson who was equally as knowledgable, talented and caring as Dr. Denkler was. She was a big part of the exceptional experience my mom had when she had her procedure done. read more

I went to see Dr. Denkler for an injection of Xiaflex for my Dupytrens.... and ended up with a tendon rupture. Three surgeries, over $200,000 thousand dollars in medical costs, and a year and a half of trouble later, I am left with only a partially functioning hand. I can't prove that Denkler was at fault, but during the procedure, his wife burst into the room proclaiming she did not have to have surgery on her elbow, and during the procedure, Dr. Denkler carried on a completely inappropriate conversation with my partner, who was in the room. My suspicion is that he was distracted at the very least. My suggestion: don't use Xiaflex.... and pay very close attention to what's going on during your procedure. Speak up if something happens you are not happy with. I didn't... and I am paying the price. read more

I have been to Dr. Denkler twice for evaluation of the Dupuytrens condition in my hands. He has an excellent chair-side manner, discussing and explaining issues in a clear and easy to understand way. His office is very nice and so is his friendly and professional staff. Robert J. read more

I'm 39, a mom to a 3 1/2 year old, and a native Marin-ite. I didn't spend a ton of time in the sun growing up but since having my daughter, have noticed some serious wrinkles (more like grooves) in between my brows and around my eyes. Some people refer to this as "mommy brow" - I just want it gone. I'm sure I could have spent a fortune on creams and topical ointments but I'm an online researcher and everything I read pointed to Botox as having the best long-term results. Keith Denkler came highly recommended to me (from someone who had a little more than Botox done, lol). I was looking for someone "conservative" because God forbid I walk out with that frightening frozen face that so many older women seem to have these days. I needed to know that I wasn't going to look like a freak. My conversation with Dr. Hudson put me at ease. Dr. Denkler, apparently best known for his work in Dupuytren and his *conservative* approach to surgery, has a great bedside manner and is known for never "overdoing" things. He is gentle and precise and my experience with him was so positive, that I'm already scheduling my next visit. Love this office. Love the people who work there. And, love that I can get something "minor" done to my face without people knowing it! :) read more

Drs. Denkler and Hudson are wonderful! Keith is a terrific surgeon and Rosalind is a bottomless font of information about skin. Without revealing too much info, let me say I am *very* happy with the results. I know people who have gone to "society" doctors and came away unhappy. All I can do is shake my head and say. "Should have seen Drs. Denkler & Hudson... " They have great staff and everyone makes you feel welcome, including Zoe, their Standard Poodle. C'mon, you gotta love doctors who bring their well trained dog to the office. And, BONUS, Keith is a hand specialist -- if you EVER need a hand fixed, go see Keith asap. I highly recommend them. read more

I have suffered from dupuytrens since I was 15... I've had dozens of surgeries and unfortunately not good results... That is until I was referred to Dr. Denkler... He has preformed several needle procedures along with Xeloflex injections and the results have been amazing!!! Not only has he given me hope, he's also has given me a chance to enjoy things in life I couldn't do before... The level of care and follow up I have received from him is like no other doctor. Exceptional doctor and great guy! read more

I was highly recommended by some friends of mine to Dr. Denkler for some surgery to improve my looks & was pleasantly surprised by there gorgeous office, warm and gentle personalities and work ethic, made me feel right at home.

I live in Los Angeles where plastic surgeons are plentiful, but I go for the best and Dr. Keith Denkler is amazing. I researched and compared several notable surgeons and I was impressed with Dr Denkler's approach and qualifications. He was honest and professional without any pressure to sell.

Dr. Denkler did a wonderful job and their entire staff was excellent. I will be back for my fills, etc! read more

I still can't say enough wonderful things about Drs. Keith Denkler and Rosalind Hudson at their Larkspur, CA practice. I recently had the latest technology in facial treatment for my pregnancy-induced malasma...patches of dark pigmentation on both of my cheeks. I have been embarrassed by these marks on my face, but Rosalind performed a quick and painless treatment which, after just one treatment, lightened these dark patches significantly! The recommendation for my discoloration is three treatments and I can't wait to see the results. I'll keep posting my progress. Thank you for helping me feel much more comfortable in my skin! read more
