Fair rating for our 1st and LAST visit with Kate. Absolutely no reason for Kate to scoff, roll her eyes or discharge us with a hateful, condescending demeanor leaving us in tears after what was supposed to be a simple check-up for mild symptoms. Unfortunately after this disappointing visit, further community research was conducted on this provider..and yikes. Families of color or first-time parents,. I urge you to please seek providers who do make you feel safe, comfortable AND respected as a parent with health concerns for a child.

Always take time to treat the whole child exploring all possibilities not just standard treatments.

Dr. Henson was wonderful! I felt heard and she explained things in a way that were easy for me to understand. Even after a blood draw, my 6 year old was all smiles leaving his appointment. Thanks Dr. Henson and nurses for a positive experience!
