Dr. Hendricks was warm, engaging--wanting to get a sense of me and my life. She provided a wonderful, systematic review of my condition. the pathology report, the various treatments available to me and the percentages of return over a ten year period. This echoed what other doctors had reviewed with me. I greatly appreciated her presentation from her "DCIS Choosing Your Treatment" binder. She was eager for and welcome questions. I left the consultation well informed about my overall condition, confident in her expertise and abilities and understanding the place hormone therapy plays in my treatment.

Dr. Hendricks was able to squeeze me in, which I really appreciated. I was there to discuss Genetic testing for the BRACA Gene. Her explanation was clear, detailed and easy to understand, which gave me a good feeling. I would recommended her.

follow-up from breast cancer treatment
Dr. Hendricks took the time needed to explain that I had the choice to go off of Anastrozole but also prescribed Cymbalta to see if that alleviated the symptoms. She quickly drew up the study about this medication so that I could see for myself why this is used. She will wait for me to let her know if there is improvement as well as if the osteoporosis is worse. She was empathetic and understand my concerns.

Dr Hendricks is the best. she tells me things I don't know, this increases of my having better outcomes; example I didn't know that I have options on getting my implants put in (I had a double mastectomy in 2020). feeling happier now; I would recommend Dr Hendricks to my friends. only downside was my appointment started a bit late; appointment was for 1:00, it started at 01:40
