Dr Henderson is the best doctor I’ve ever had. She is kind while being the consummate professional physician. She has gotten me through so many health issues and now you fools are taking that away from myself and other patients who have had the same experience!

Always takes time to listen to my concerns or questions. Addresses and answers in a professional but personal way. I always feel like she has addressed all of my situations when I leave. I feel like I am her full focus when I’m in the room with her.
