Dr Henderson is extremely knowledgeable, great at explaining everything, and has an excellent staff
This office is very well run. Everyone is kind and helpful.
This was a first visit with Dr. He was wonderful. I have been a CCF patient since 1999 and have become very disappointed in the care I received there. I have been switching to UH. So far the care has been wonderful. The complete atmosphere is different in a very good way. When calling to set up appointment the customer service is superb. They have taken time to help me find the Dr that suits my specific needs and has led to perfect choices. I do not like change. The staff at UH has made and Is making the transaction so much easier. They seem to be happier in their jobs than other hospital staff are.
Dr Henderson is a professional, always. He explains things so I understand meditation and what is expected from taking it. He always treats me with kindness and respect.
Overall very good first visit with physician.
Excellent care from provider and his care staff. Awesome overall personality and professionalism.

This is a very well run office. I have recommended Dr Henderson often.
I was very impressed with Dr. Henderson, he was sensitive to my needs, he was compassionate, positive and very knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable with him.
Excellent care and service
Explains everything well. Listens to my concerns. Spends as much time as needed.
Excellent Experience
*** This doc is definitely at the top of the list. I worry he will be recruited by a bigger hospital system or go out of town. UH needs to appreciate him and do everything it can to keep him on staff.
Excellent physician! Also, all staff members were very helpful and pleasant.
Wonderful provider. Very engaged
Dr. Henderson and his staff were very personal and made me feel very comfortable. The staff were very courteous and welcoming as this was my first visit with the doctor. Dr. Henderson appears very knowledgeable of my medical history as we discussed concerns, issues etc., as well as treatment going forth. I really liked the fact that Dr. Henderson listened to my thoughts and opinion about my health, and appreciated my advocating for my treatment on current condition for which I was referred to him. A very good appointment and I look forward to working with him in the future.
Very nice doctor, seems very knowledgeable
Dr Joseph Henderson is the best caring uro gyn doc. I'm a cleve clinic pt, but there's not a good uro gyn doc there in my book. I will definitely continue my care Dr Joseph Henderson, as well as referring him to my family and friends. He's very caring and shows empathy in your health concerns, which means a lot to me.
Dr. Henderson was very thorough and gentle. It was my first visit with him. Will set up appointment as I need them. Staff was very kind
Dr. Henderson is a wonderful doctor! He is also a very busy doctor and he appeared to be running behind the day I was there for my appointment. I had an issue that I had a senior van ride set up with a certain time for my departure and I got up to inquire how far long Dr. Henderson was because if it got to be too late I would have to leave. I have to say the ladies at the front desk managed to get me called back and I even left a sample and get ready for the doctor so that when he came in I would be ready to see him. I got done in time so I didn't have any issues which making my van ride on time. It was a relief!
I hadn't seen Dr Henderson for a check up bc I didn't know he was still at *** after it closed. His staff has always been great which is why I've been seeing him for over 10 years.
