Dr. Joseph W. Henderson is definitely an experienced physician and an expert in his field. I had previously watched his hour-long video about *** and all of the issues and treatments associated with it. I was quite impressive with his strong command of all of these issues that enabled me to feel comfortable making my appointment ASAP with him. I have now seen Dr. Henderson 3 times to date. I will see him again next February. I feel that I would not be moving this far ahead with my treatment that is successfully addressing my issues of concern since they became a noticeable problem in *** if I had not learned about Dr. Henderson and felt compelled to make an appointment with him. ***

Thank you Dr. Henderson!!! You're an amazing doctor!
