Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very nice and knowledgeable
Dr. Hendricks helped me understand all the lab work and what everything meant for my individual care. I'm really glad to have her as part of my healthcare team.

She’s great!!
I am very impressed by Dr. Hendricks’ knowledge and compassion. You don’t always get both of those characteristics in the same physician. She listens to my issues and is not rigid in reconsidering whether to stick with the standard protocol as a function of individual needs and wishes.

Informative and caring
I met with Dr. Hendricks after two lumpectomies. She provided excellent information in an understandable and compassionate manner. She also gave me detailed information to take home so I come make my decision about after-surgery care.

The line of questioning because what I went through with my previous Doctor's did'nt have anything to do with her and her wanting to know about my Disability ,work status ,who sign this note and what is it for and if this place wasn't fit for me as she stated two times why a receptionist did'nt call me to tell me this place not fit for me. I would'nt have wasted my time. She was typing on her laptop as I was talking. Her facial expressions sometimes was not pleasant as she was typing. She said patients complain and get mad because her office has problems and they loose stuff and etc. and the same thing can happen to me but, How do she know that? I was'nt there for her to give a note or to fill out anything that has to do with disability. People make mistakes she said . The visit was terrible. I was uncomfortable. I will never forget how she made me feel .I was very very upset that I ran out cry angrily. So I am thinking was she taking notes to report to my old office. Don't matter

Dr Hendricks is one of the best doctors I’ve ever consulted. Obviously incredibly bright and knowledgeable. She provided explanations that were wonderfully coherent and complete - helping me understand what was being discussed. She made me feel that she was very concerned that I make the right decisions for me. I think she is an outstanding doctor.
