Love Dr Henkle. She is the best

I drive 45 mins to see Dr. Henkle for myself and my daughter because she's great. Thorough, always listens, shows interest, etc.
I appreciate the listening Dr. Henkle gave me and her attention to aspects of my wellbeing that she thought needed attention
Dr. Henkle understood what I did not -- that my situation was exxtremely critical! She helped me with her words, mails, follow-up and more. I am extremely indebted to her for her supremely wonderful care!!!!!! Without her insistence, I could have had a serious heart attack and even lost my life. But because of her arduous words, work, concern, follow-up and more, I went into the ED and got magnificent care -- including the insertion of a badly needed stent.
Dr. Henkle really took the time to discuss all of my questions and showed such care towards my newborn - she provided helpful context behind her recommendations and very actionable specificity. We had a great experience and are so glad to be in her care!
Dr. Henkle is very supportive and caring and she makes me feel like she cares about me personally
