Dr Henderson spoke directly to my child, listened carefully to their concerns, and explained everything in a way that was easy for them to understand. My child felt calm and understood throughout the visit. A wonderful doctor for kids. On our way home my child said he was the best doctor he had ever seen!!
I visited Dr. Jonathan Henderson today regarding my 7-month-old daughter, Elisha, who has been suffering from eczema. From the beginning of the consultation, Dr. Henderson was very attentive, patient, and reassuring. He took the time to carefully examine her condition and, most importantly, explained everything in a clear and understandable way. What we appreciated the most was how thoroughly he walked us through the steps needed to identify the actual root cause of the eczema rather than just treating the symptoms. His approach focused on understanding the underlying triggers and making gradual, informed changes. Dr. Henderson also advised us to stop using all kinds of steroid creams for now and instead focus on a more structured approach to diagnosing and managing the condition. This gave us confidence that we are moving toward a safer, long-term solution for our daughter’s skin. Overall, it was a very positive and reassuring experience. Dr. Henderson’s professionalism, clarity, and genuine concern for his young patients made a strong impression on us. We feel much more confident about managing Elisha’s eczema after this consultation.
Very friendly Super with my baby Very kind when I was upset I left calmer and reassure
