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 OPTIMISTIC!!!!!
After meeting Dr. H for the 1st time I was happily overwhelmed . From the get go I had a positive feeling about him. He is concerned, , positive and ready to move forward with the terrible pain i am experiencing.

Best in the area
I did not want to leave the area as my family is here and did not want to inconvenience anyone. I needed very serious back surgery. It was the best decision I made I have been with him for years now and would not go anywhere else.

He is one of the most down to earth doctors I've ever met. I needed to have spinal fusion surgery a few weeks ago. He and his staff explained everything thoroughly and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Henderson came to my hospital my room and explained exactly what was done - he was extremely thorough with the surgery - he also stopped in 1st thing every morning to check on me. If anyone has back issues Go to him. He'll tell you exactly what is wrong and what needs to be done!!!

Dr. Henderson had my 75 year old mother in surgery/recovery and not once did he speak with me during or the following the procedure. The surgery took considerable longer than anticipated and I was concerned. My mother felt as though she didn't matter.

I arrived at Dr. Henderson's office in near constant lower back pain aggravated by simply walking a short distance. I am now pain free and enjoying my active lifestyle. I am fortunate to have had such a talented surgeon whose manner and professionalism are outstanding.
