Biography

Dr. Carl Henderson came into medicine as a way of using an evolving scientific foundation towards the better health of others. He finds that taking a quality history and physical at every visit is the cornerstone of good medicine and his patients will receive this. He values the inherent dignity of all individuals and realizes that the journeys traveled before reaching his clinic will all be different. His medical focus is directed to the patient's present concerns with an emphasis on forward progress.

Dr. Henderson recognizes that most ailments needing Rheumatological guidance are systemic and multifaceted in their presentation and management. For this reason, he collaborates closely and regularly with the other health professionals who see any of his patients.

On a personal level, Dr. Henderon is passionate about the outdoors, spending time with his wife, their two school-aged children, as well as modern homesteading and small-scale farming.

Dr. Henderson is my angel from above. He is the absolute best physician I have ever had in my care and goes above and beyond. He spends so much time and shows genuine care for you as a patient. It is evident that he listens with true compassion and cares for more than just the reason you are there. I absolutely am more than thankful that God placed this physician on my care team.
