Biography

Dr. Carl Henderson came into medicine as a way of using an evolving scientific foundation towards the better health of others. He finds that taking a quality history and physical at every visit is the cornerstone of good medicine and his patients will receive this. He values the inherent dignity of all individuals and realizes that the journeys traveled before reaching his clinic will all be different. His medical focus is directed to the patient's present concerns with an emphasis on forward progress.

Dr. Henderson recognizes that most ailments needing Rheumatological guidance are systemic and multifaceted in their presentation and management. For this reason, he collaborates closely and regularly with the other health professionals who see any of his patients.

On a personal level, Dr. Henderon is passionate about the outdoors, spending time with his wife, their two school-aged children, as well as modern homesteading and small-scale farming.

I would recommend Dr. Henderson to anyone. As a matter of fact, my daughter also sees him from my recommendation for her arthritis. We couldn't be more pleased with him.

Dr. Carl Henderson is one of the most knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated physicians I have had in my lifetime. From the very first appointment, when I was suffering, my daily abilities were very limited, and I was afraid for my future health, Dr. Henderson told me that he could help me, and we would work together to improve my day to day functioning and restore my health to the most optimum level possible. He has answered my questions, explained my care, treatments, and medications. He has been an excellent diagnostician, clinician, and I trust and value his expertise. Over the last nearly ten years, the care and compassion I have received from Dr. Henderson has renewed my faith in the healthcare system', and has literally restored my health. He is the gold standard for the highest quality measures of physician care.
