            Dr. Jennifer Denne joined Surgical Specialists, P.C. in August 2007 after completing a fellowship in advanced laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive surgery) at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.  A graduate of Notre Dame University, Dr. Denne received her medical degree from MCP Hahnemann University School of Medicine.  She then completed a general surgery residency at Temple University Hospital in 2006 prior to her fellowship in Pittsburgh. 

             In addition to graduating cum laude from Hahnemann University, Dr. Denne has distinguished herself in many ways.  A member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society while in medical school, she also was awarded many academic scholarships and received the Best Academic Performance Award in the Interdepartmental Medical Science Program at Hahnemann University.

             Dr. Denne is a member of Surgical Specialists’ general surgery team at its Bryn Mawr site where she specializes in general, oncologic and advanced laparoscopic surgery.  Her practice includes minimally invasive disorders for colorectal disease, gallbladder and biliary tract disease, all types of abdominal wall hernia and foregut disorders such as hiatal and paraesophageal hernias.  Dr. Denne is one of the few surgeons in the area trained to perform TIF – Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication – another treatment option for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is performed completely endoscopically without any incisions, allowing patients to experience almost no side effects and an extremely quick recovery.  Dr. Denne also performs single port surgery, the latest development in laparoscopic surgery, whereby the entire procedure is performed through a single half-inch incision at the umbilicus, resulting in the potential for no visible scar and less surgical pain.
