it was nice being advised of the recommended procedure and being part of the decision of what further testing exam was done. i wasnt told this is whats recommended so this is what we are doing. i was given a choice which was nice

Would have liked more time, but I figure I got at least my share.

April 30, 2013

Dr. Henriksen was awesome. So happy to finally find a good doctor that I will continue to go back to.

April 23, 2013

dr henriksen is very helpful, friendly, takes his time to make sure everything is reviewed from last appt, current issue, and future care plan. i never feel rushed at my appointments. I feel like nothing is over looked.

March 25, 2013

My regular doctor couldn't schedule me in for weeks, so I was meeting Dr. Hendricksen for the first time. Nice guy.

Dr. Henriksen is great!!!

GREAT doctor

December 19, 2012

I liked the tiered nature of the care (medical assistant, then medical student, then doctor plus medical student) and felt very well cared for.

December 10, 2012

I have recommended him to many people. On this day, he provided generous oversight of a medical student.

December 04, 2012

Dr. H. is the best. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Henriksen was so great with my son! He took his time through the appointment to get to know him and to make him feel at ease. My son actually had fun at this doctor's appointment, which was a first. When it came to follow up care, he asked "What do I do now?" to which Dr. Henriksen simply replied, "Just be awesome." My son talked about the appointment for the rest of the day and is already asking when he gets to see Dr. Henriksen again. I had to drive from Clearfield for this appointment at the Madsen Health Center and it was so worth it! Dr. Henriksen came highly recommended to me and I will continue to recommend him to everyone I know. He is amazing! :)

I was glad to have come in when I did. I really felt like they understood my questions and gave me all the possible things I should be looking out for.

September 14, 2012

MD was fantastic. He spent more time with me than I expected and more time than any MD I have seen in years. I felt like he actually listened, which most primary care MDs seem too busy to do.

September 04, 2012

I was surprised at how much time he spent talking with me. Usually they are in and out. Was very nice to not feel rushed. All of my questions/concerns were answered. Great physician. He is very good at communicating effectively with patients on their level.

September 03, 2012

Dr. Henriksen was great. I have bounced around from doc to doc at Madsen and I definitely like him the best

Dr Hendricksen was very interested in my situation and my overall health. We discussed options. He asked me what information I might benefit from and utilize, considering my mental conditions and ability to handle information on my own. He explained what I would be given and I was provided with all the additional information as well as end of visit information.

August 21, 2012

I came in with what i thought was an embarrasing problem and the doctor was very nice and used humor to make me comfortable. He drew diagrams to explain what was going on. He spent time with me to explain the problem and what I need to do for it. I really like Dr. Henrikson and would go to him again.

August 13, 2012

Excellent quality of care. I really appreciated receiving a print out of my note at the end of my visit.

July 24, 2012

I recently changed doctors and I am very impressed with Dr. Hendrikson.

July 09, 2012

Dr. Henriksen is brisk but that seems appropriate, given the need to see all pts in a timely manner. His focus on general health and prevention of disorder through nutrition, sleep, and attention to stress is admirable. I was relieved to find an MD wit

June 26, 2012

Dr. Henriksen is the only doctor I've ever had who I don't dread seeing. He is a good listener and understands or tries to understand the emotional aspects that affect disease management.

May 05, 2012

Dr. Henriksen spent a good amount of time getting to know my medical history, habits and provide excellent advice. My total experience was exceptional.

April 12, 2012

It seemed odd for a practioner to "push" what could be classified as a "fad" diet: i.e. Paleo diet., as well as his personal website. While he stated that the diet had scientific data to back it up, so do hundreds of others. I have nothing against the diet, but I would rather be advised with tried and true medicine. That is just my opinion.

March 14, 2012

Seemed in a hurry, and had a female U of U student with him during my exam which made me very uncomfortable. Had I know this or had a choice, I would have rescheduled or seen another doctor.

March 09, 2012

I enjoy a doctor that knows how to mix professional and human life experiences during treatment....and still stay on the medical track. One of the best doctors that has treated me

February 03, 2012

The physician was very friendly but was less than professional in certain comments regarding my body and was not very sensitive to how certain comments made could effect the the quality of care provided. Respect goes both ways, especially in a family practice patient to provider relationship.

February 01, 2012

I wanted to make a change in Doctors and this was my first visit with Dr. Hendrickson. He was terrific! I was sad to find out he's leaving the South Jordan clinic. I'll have to choose some one else.
