neutral  Joseph Tein: In medical writing, it's always "denies" in this section of the report (the medical history).

agree  Lirka: yes, denies is standard ( I assume the other entry of yours is merely to simplify it for the asker)

Reference: The patient denies

Reference information:
The patient denies
This phrase does not mean that the doctor thinks you're lying. It's just used as the opposite of "the patient reports." For instance, your medical record might read, "The patient reports frequent morning cough, but denies the presence of phlegm."
