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.

Wonderful and Skilled Physician
He is a great Physician. He always takes plenty of time with me and clearly answers any questions I may have. He knows my health situation well. I'm thankful he is my Dr.

What's diagnosed on 01/21/22 with Covid 19. I was not able to get into urgent care sooner how to wait until Monday. Spoke with the staff at doctor Henderson's office. Dr called in to pharmacy 3 medications, started taking them Monday evening. I would say what medication but I don't know if that would be a problem. I think doctor doctor Richard Henderson is very good and helping people with this China virus. after A-day of these medicines I notice a huge improvement not a 100% but a very good 50% in recovery. His staff don't get in my opinion the correct recognition in my opinion. Is both Brandi and Carla are very good communicators. Highly recommend this doctor and staff.

Does not seem to make an effort to diagnose illness. You keep going back for tests and meds while your health continues to decline. Very disappointed. You ask for a referral and it never happens. You have to keep asking.

Very competent physician. An unusual quality in today's world is he make rounds in the hospital and sees his patients while they're hospitalized. He is understanding and his goal is to make you better without causing alarm even when you are quite ill. Highly recommend his services.
