Hi, I’m Dr Kathy Dennis. I am triple board certified in Internal Medicine, Rheumatology and Lifestyle Medicine. I graduated from SUNY Syracuse Medical College, completed internal medicine residency at Winthrop University in Long Island and completed Rheumatology fellowship training at the University of Pennsylvania. I practiced conventional Rheumatology for over 17 years in Hartford, Connecticut at a large inner city hospital. I am well experienced with treating some of the most difficult and complex cases in rheumatology and internal medicine. Over my years of practice I have always enjoyed both the art and science of medicine.

The best part for me has always been my connection with each patient over years and through the different stages of their lives. However, in the fast pace of conventional medicine I was rarely ever able to get to the root cause of disease. I felt my patients deserved more and I was ready to make it happen. With my in depth knowledge of the science and data supporting lifestyle medicine to manage and reverse most diseases and my personal experience of curing my own arthritis without drugs I walked away from McMedicine and created ArC Wellness. 

So how do I practice at ArC wellness? Here, I dedicate my time and expertise to helping arthritis and autoimmune patients find the root cause of their disease so they can thrive with less pain and have more energy. I join each patient on their journey to restored health. The body is designed to heal and if given the right conditions healing will occur. I take the time to listen to you and perform appropriate physical exams. Blood, stool and urine testing is ordered as needed to make a diagnosis and identify deficiencies or toxicity in the body. I always give you choices on the most health promoting diet for your situation and identify any vitamins and minerals that need to be replenished for the cells to maximize function. We tailor a complete lifestyle plan that you can adhere to. Based on your stage and severity of your condition conventional medications are utilized to stabilize your situation while you implement your lifestyle changes. Change doesn’t usually happen overnight so I work with each patient and client over weeks, months and years to configure the right environment to allow healing to occur. If you are ready for a change and tired of being sick and tired now is the time to put Dr Kath on your team to better health.
