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.

Condescending and unprofessional
Was under Anita's care for two plus years. I'm the least demanding patient you'll ever have. Recently I started experiencing fatigue and brain fog in a way that's seriously affecting my quality of life. In my visit Anita was super dismissive and condescending. I was never able to get to the root of any symptoms under her care and she made me feel guilty any time I visited her, to the point that it took me over a year to recover from my bad experiences and go see another doctor again. Truly puzzling why anyone would choose this line of work to show so little care.

dr anita henderson ' I don't have time to address that concern and i'm late for my next appointment ' The concern was scheduled and was to be addressed at this appointment. anita then called me rude because i wished her luck. This lady is a poor excuse for a healthcare professional and has a serious attitude. David Kelly, MD will be missed. Good luck anita! You will need it!

Really Listens and Cares
I’m not kidding when I say Dr. Henderson cares so much about being a good doctor. I’ve been seeing her for a couple of years now since I’ve moved to Bend and she has been so supportive, both of my physical and mental health. I even sent her a podcast episode to listen to as a way of communicating the type of support I wanted and SHE LISTENED TO IT! And brought it up in my appointment to discuss. I’ve never had a primary care physician before who would ever do something like that. It was so wonderful. I just really feel that she wants to be collaborative with me when it comes to any of my treatment plans. I love that I feel like I have a degree of autonomy in a system that can often feel out of control for the patient. I can’t say enough good things.

Dr. Henderson is the absolute worst doctor I've ever seen. She doesn't care about her patients, and her arrogance, condescension, heartlessness, outright ignorance, and perhaps criminal negligence almost costed me my life. Do not see this Doctor, especially if you have mental health issues, I beg of you

Anita has been the best doctor I have ever had. She listens to me when I struggle and always puts my thoughts and feelings first. I have had other doctors completely negate the symptoms I have had and ignore them, but Dr. Henderson does not do that. She does whatever she can to ease my mind including ordering labs and making other referrals. I appreciate her so much!

My prior PCP retired and I was referred to Dr. Henderson. Today was my first time meeting Dr. Henderson. Her warmth, eye contact and knowledge of my medical history even during this initial visit made me very comfortable. I look forward to having Dr. Henderson as my PCP for years to come.

My mother...Who is in a memory care home... Has reoccurring bouts with cellulitis in her legs. Knowing that, Doctor Henderson would not just prescribe her the medication and demanded to see her. Not necessary! So, I brought her in for her appointment, and all doctor Henderson did was cut the already dried blood soaked gauze and wraps that were on her leg..cut about 2 inches to peek in to see the wound, and taped it back up..sent her on her way with a prescription. I was thinking that maybe she was going to send in a nurse to change the gauze... But that didn't happen. Plus, mom has a hard time walking, so why put her thru all this?? What kind of patient care is this?! Seems like she's just wanting to collect some money from her patients. Found a new doctor right away!

Dr. Henderson has been my PCP for 2 yrs. She is attentive & detailed however the support staff is hard to work with. Dr Henderson has 2 locations: urgent care and a patient office, availability is definitely an issue. Had to leave numerous messages to get a prescription ordered & when I finally did get a call back, I felt like I was being a bother. A needed MRI was denied by insurance because it was not sent with enough documentation to support it which caused much delayed care. Additionally, her office and perhaps Highlakes in general (not sure) does not subscribe to the PAC system, a records sharing platform, this proved inconvenient when records from other providers are needed for treatment or insurance. I found out the hard way that the same day online appointment scheduling system does not work. When I arrived for my appointment that was confirmed via text and email, I was told that system does not work. If you are looking for a team to work WITH you, I would look elsewhere.

I saw her to establish a new primary. She gave me excellent eye contact and listened well. She was willing to cooperate with my other primary to help in coordinating my care. Very caring and educated about testing and labs to perform relating to my rare condition. I feel I’m in good hands:-)
