Pediatrics Residency

Dennisse Reyes (she/her) is a proud Puerto Rican who has called Rhode Island home since she was a toddler, when she, her brother and sister and her parents moved to Providence. After spending most of her life in Providence, she now lives in Cranston with her husband, her two young adult children, and their beloved dog, King Bling Reyes. A true Rhode Islander at heart, Dennisse firmly believes that anything more than a 30-minute drive requires serious consideration!

Family is at the center of everything she does. She shares a close bond with her sister and brother and absolutely adores her nieces and nephews. Professionally, Dennisse’s connection to Rhode Island Hospital began at the age of 15. Over the years, she has worked in a variety of roles across the organization, building relationships and becoming a familiar face to countless colleagues. For the past 23 years, she has been dedicated to the Pediatric Residency Program, where she truly finds great fulfillment in supporting residents, fostering their success, and watching them grow into outstanding physicians. One of the most rewarding parts of her work is the lifelong relationships she continues to build with many of the residents that graduate.

Outside of work, Dennisse enjoys spending quality time with her family and dog, King Bling Reyes. She is an AVID fan of Marc Anthony & Bad Bunny! She will continue to manifest her dreams of one day meeting Marc & Benito.  She also enjoys streaming series, crime podcasts, and is always looking for her next great listen or binge-worthy show. She loves Rhode Island's close-knit feel, friendly people, and beautiful four seasons, which provide breathtaking scenery opportunities for Dennisse to photograph throughout the year. Above all, Dennisse is passionate about helping others and feels fortunate to still be doing the work she genuinely loves every day.
