Dr Henry was very professional, listening to my health issues and probing to arrive at a diagnosis. She explained the treatment plan well and had the nurse follow up with me to see how I was doing.
Dr. Nicole Henrydindial is an extremely experienced position. She is compassionate. She is confident. She’s humane, and I think she is the best doctor I have ever had. She has helped my very difficult and complex health profile together. She has found things on her day off, but I needed to know before specialists did. She is invaluable to me and I drive 1 hour now that I moved to continue see her because she is that important to me. Thank you.
I felt all my needs were addressed. My history is complicated, but Dr. Henry-Dindial covered everything.
