Dr. Hendrick is an effective medical professional. He has been trying to relieve me of my severe arthritis pain from my initial visit with him. He discusses the issues of the various options for me. He consistently reviews my lab tests after any change in medications. If results are not favorable he will discuss/recommend alternatives. He recently went to bat for me with my Health Insurance carrier to have an alternate procedure to hopefully relieve me of my severe pains. Thanks Dr. Hendrick.
