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.

Very unorganized
This Dr. seems the nicest person on first glance and then it turns out he is lacking responsibility to a scary degree. He forgets to order needed tests, forgets referrals. If you have medical issues this is not the right Dr for you.

A new insurance company needed a new referral for a Cardiologist that I had been seeing for three years. Receptionist said he had 1000's of patents and it would take 4 to 6 weeks for the referral and my appointment for the Cardiologist was next week. Went to another doctor and got the referral the same day for the appointment, that by that time, was less than 24 hours away. He always seemed uninterested and in a rush on my visits. I wish doctors and especially their staffs understood that most people don't come for a good time and to hang out, they come because they are not well. Along with the stress of not being well they have to take off from work, miss getting paid, alter their schedules, endure their often times rude belittling staff, go to the effort to get there on time, and then sit for very long periods of time just to see a doctor for less than 5 mins. I'm sure he is a wonderful person and good doctor, just didn’t work for me.

Will never refer this Dr to no one! He does not order needed testing, does not refer you to a specialist. If you don’t mind having your foot amputated because of ongoing problems that could have been caught with a test or two and or a visit to a specialist. If you would rather let your health detoriate because a stomach issue that could have been caught with a simple test for candida overgrowth. My dads health deteriorated due to poor care from this dr. Seek a real dr.

Unlike many doctors these days, he actually listens to you and takes the time to make the right decision for your care. I am thankful to have access to Dr. Hendershot. He has helped me through several complicated and difficult medical issues with great success. He genuinely cares about my problems and takes the time to help.

This is my first experience with Dr. Hendershot and I was very well pleased of the outcome. Dr Hendershot sounded very well educated and experienced. In my past experience with other doctors, most of the doctors where just in a hurry to get you in and out and get that money. My medical problem was on going for a couple years and finally I got a great answer. Thank you Dr. Hendershot I will be back .

As a pharmacist, and occasionally a patient, I would highly recommend Dr. Hendershot. He is one of the most thorough, knowledgeable, concerned physicians I have dealt with. This Dr. also has the most pleasant bedside manner I've came across.

Awesome Doctor! I am very picky & truly appreciate the qualities that Dr. Hendershot displays. He's calm, professional, thoughtful, great listener, kind, and always leaves me feeling better. His staff is kind. He diagnosed my illness & the ER didn't. Highly recommend this dr. , one of the best I have encountered in a very long time!!
