Chance Henderson, MD and his staff have been very professional and caring in helping me through my surgery and post surgery processes. Highly recommend him, his PA and practice.

Dr. Henderson is truly amazing. After waiting for so long to get treated for my conditions, Dr. Henderson finally offered answers and hope. The office staff is incredible too.

I went to the Lake Plaza location where he treated my Dupuytrens Contractor with a Needle Aponeurotomy. My results are outstanding and I cannot thank Dr Henderson enough. I am finally able to do things I haven't been able to do in years. Thank you to all the staff and to Dr Chance Henderson for all you have done to improve my situation dramatically!
