Denijal Gluhic, DNP earned his doctorate degree at the University of Minnesota in adult-gerontology, which started him down his roundabout path to neurology. His healthcare journey started in dermatology and evolved to allergies and asthma. From there, he transitioned into internal medicine which provided ample, diversified learning situations. But it was the experience of a close family member battling dementia that ultimately guided Denijal to neurology, where he worked as an RN in a step-down neurology unit, a neurology ICU, and in post-anesthesia.
Denijal’s initial entry into medicine was driven by his desire to help others improve their health and well-being within a complex medical system. Family challenges and illness was the most significant factor in his decision to become a healthcare professional. In neurology, his particular interest is dementia and migraines. He can speak conversational Bosnian.
MCN is a great match for Denijal, noting that his decision was based on his “…. drive to provide safe, compassionate, and patient-centered care, while working in a highly collaborative team-based environment.”
When not at the clinic, you’ll find Denijal working on his home or detailing his car, or possibly playing with his yorkie pup, trying out new restaurants, and skiing in the winter.
I’m very glad Dr. Veen was easy to talk to, seemed very in tuned with what I was saying (an active listener), and didn’t bowl me over with why I was wrong or why she knew so much more (which she does) than me. She let me share my anxiety and then set about describing how “we” were going to tackle diagnosing and treating whatever we found. That was encouraging to me even though some of the discussion was very much anxiety generating. Dr. Veen answered all of our questions and was so comfortable talking to her. She really listened to what we had to say. This was my first time doing a telemedicine appointment and it was very easy and the doctor was as complete as could be without physical interaction. Because of Covid, we had to make appt for a phone visit. We were a little skeptical of this but everything went good. All questions were addressed and a follow up was discussed. Dr. Veen as always gets an A+. I was particularly impressed that the providers came to the waiting room for their patients and escorted them to their offices. Dr Veen gets max points for listening to everything I had to say, seeking my input and developing a mutual plan for next steps. Kudos! Dr. Veen is excellent. I do recommender her to friends!!
