Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I found Dr. Hensley easy to talk with, pleasant and willing to listen attentively. I was searching for a doctor who was willing to work with me and most definitely felt that she would be someone like that. And that she was willing to be honest as well as competent and caring. Able to discuss possibly embarrassing topics or disagree without being arrogant or disagreeable.

She has NO compassion at all for the aging. Curing you? That I don't believe is a prioity either. How about just make you comfortable if she can't heal you, she's not interetsted in that either, My husband 5 carinary blockages, discovered no thanks to her, but a second opinion and knowing the man could not walk from the bedroom to the bathroom without gasping for air she still inisisted he come in to pick up his prescriptions or simply put, he doesn't get them. She should lose her license.
